Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals Jemm Real Estate Partnership 2 SP-05-112 18.5% lot coverage when complete. The abutters are in full agreement with this project since it is a father/son situation. Several of the Board members made site visits to the property and feel this will not be more detrimental to the neighborhood. After reviewing the plans and some further discussion the Board moves to grant the special permit. SPECIAL PERMIT CRITERIA Section 174-17 of the Mashpee Zoning By-laws and Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A, Chapter 6, require a finding that the extension, alteration or change shall not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing non-conforming use. GENERAL FINDINGS 1. that the subject property is located at 55 Sunset Circle and contains 7,862 square feet. SPECIFIC FINDINGS The Board determined that: 1. the proposed construction does not conform to the landspace requirements or the distance to the wetlands and the Board has granted a Variance. 2. there is adequate land area to provide sufficient parking. 3. a new septic system will be beneficial to the neighborhood. 4. the immediate neighborhood consists of single-family homes of similar size; many of which have been improved with additions or reconstruction. In view of the foregoing, the Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals found that the Petitioner met the criteria necessary for the granting of a Special Permit. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously on October 19, 2005 to grant a Special Permit to allow for demolition of the existing dwelling on the subject property. The Special Permit is conditioned on plans from Cape & Islands Engineering, dated August 21, 2005, revised September 1, 2005, revised September 22,2005, Plan No. 082105, File No. 122MA.
