Geoffrev and .Janet Willis: Request a Special Permit from Sections 174-17, 174-24(C) and 174-25(D)(1) of the Zoning By-laws in order to add office space to the existing building on property located ip a C-2 zoning district at 11 Cape Drive (Map 55 Parcel 19) Mashpee, MA. Owner of Record: Liehthouse Place, LLC. Sitting: Robert Nelson, Zella Elizenberry, Marshall Brem, Evano Cunha and James Reiffarth. Kevin Kirrane from Dunning & Kirrane represents the applicant at this hearing. They are seeking a Special Permit in order to add office space to the existing building and create additional parking to accommodate that additional space. The lot currently contains 28,045 square feet with 125' of frontage. The office building contains 4,224 gross square feet and 15 parking spaces. The applicant proposes a 28' x 44' addition to be attached to the rear of the existing building. The total gross floor area will be 7,920 square feet which includes basement space along with 12 more parking spaces. The existing lot coverage is currently 5.2% and the new addition will be 9.7%. Both the site plan review committee and the design review committee have reviewed and approved the project. The site is situated in the commercial zoning district. Off ice use is permitted in this district upon the grant of a special permit. The site is non -conforming given both its size and frontage. The building itself conforms to the current setback and will continue to conform after the addition is built. The property was initially developed in accordance with a special permit in 1985. The applicant is providing sufficient off street parking and has designed a drainage system on-site to ensure that all surface water will be disposed of on site. The Board reviews the plans. Mr. Nelson would like to see the dumpster moved five feet toward Cape Drive. Mr. Kirrane says that won't be a problem. The Board would also like to see the trees kept between the restaurant and the building for screening and if approved this must be conditioned on approval from the Board of Health. The Board asks if they have any prospective tenants yet. They do not have anything official at this time. It is the general consensus of the board that this will not be detrimental to the neighborhood and that since there are no abutters present with any concerns the board will vote on the motion. There will be a $7,500 landscaping bond required, the trees must be maintained by the lot line for screening purposes and they must obtain approval from the Board of Health. Marshall Brem moves to grant the special permit with these
