Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes • 4 July 2005carsCrossing. The residents did not want cars too be able to go through Deer Crossing so a gate will be placed at the end so that only emergency vehicles can traverse the area. The residents are comfortable with this proposal and have worked with the applicant through the planning board at several meetings. The utility easement on the lot made it necessary to obtain a variance for lot size since the easement greatly reduced the size of the lot. Attorney Kirrane goes through each criteria of the requirements for a special permit and submits that the applicant meets them all for this permit to be granted. The Board questions the owner regarding the traffic that will enter and exit from Route 28. Mr. Conway explains that most of the heavy traffic will be only twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall when the boats will be put away. He informs them he intends to have a wholesale business by contract and not for individual use. He has one for a boat hauler and one for a marine use facility. Mr. Nelson raises concerns about the potential accidents that may occur due to the topography of Falmouth Road and a large boat hauler trying to obtain access to the facility. He would like to discuss this matter with the Chief of Police to get his imput on a right turn only into Wags Road. The matter is suggested to be continued until August l0'h for further research. Attorney Kirrane agrees. So moved.

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. Marshall Brem makes a motion to grant a 14.5 foot variance from the front and a 9.5 foot variance on the side. Zella Elizenberry seconds the motion. All agree. So moved.
