The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A Section 10 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Attorney Kevin Kirrane represents the applicant at this hearing. He is seeking a variance in order to build a one car shed style detached garage and cannot maintain his 25 foot setback requirements or his 40 foot front yard setback requirement. Applicant is an elderly man who needs a garage to maintain his vehicle and other storage items. The lot has specific topographical problems which prevents him from moving it any further back. Mr. Brem states that he visited the area and feels this will enhance the neighborhood. Abutters Henry and Rachel Catsoulis support the project as they are direct abutters. The Board moves to grant the requested variances.
