Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes 4 April 14, 2004 Michael Grotzke of The Phoenix Group represents petitioner at this hearing. They are seeking to demolish the existing dwelling and rebuild a new home. Mr. Grotzke presents a set of plans to the Board mentioning that his client no longer needs a sideyard setback variance and they have changed the plans to reflect that. Mr. Regan asks Mr. Grotzke if these plans are different than the plans he originally submitted to the ZBA. Mr. Grotzke tells the Board that a direct abutter had issues with the need for variance and therefore the plans were changed to accommodate his requests and informs the Board that his client is only looking for a 19-foot variance to the wetlands. Mr. Regan was very disturbed that Mr. Grotzke presented one set of plans that half of the Board was reviewing and there was a completely different set of plans that were originally filed with the ZBA that the other board members were reviewing. Mr. Regan told Mr. Grotzke this was totally unacceptable and was wasting the Board's time. He was instructed to refile new plans and be sure everyone has the same thing. This matter was continued until May 12, 2004. All agree. So moved. Ralph Whittemore: Requests a Special Permit from Sections 174-25 (A.8) and 174.45.A of the Zoning By-laws in order to obtain accessory use on an existing detached dwelling on property located in an R-5 zoning district at 182 Main Street(Map 37 Parcel 140) Mashpee, MA. Sitting: James Regan, Zella Elizenberry and Frederick Bergeson. Mr. Whittemore represents himself at this hearing. He is seeking to build an accessory apartment above his barn on his property. He has over 4 acres of land and there are 2 separate dwellings on this property. The Board feels that this is a reasonable request since Mr. Whittemore wife's just died and his daughter is going to move in to help him. Zella Elizenberry moves to grant the special permit. Frederick Borgeson seconds the motion. All agree. So moved. Kyle M. Bugg: Requests a Variance from Sections 174-31 and 174-17 of the Zoning By-laws to vary the setback requirements and to alter a non-conforming stricture in order to build a 22' x 24' garage with a 30' x 6' farmer's porch on property located in an R-3 zoning district at 13 Cayuga Avenue (Map 65 Parcel 119G) Mashpee, MA. Sitting: James Regan, Zella Elizenberry and Robert Nelson. Kyle Bugg represents himself at this hearing. He is seeking a variance in order to build a garage and farmer's porch on his property. The Board of Health made a comment regarding "no habitable space" above the garage and he is planning to build a family room above it. The Board needs to clear up the word "habitable" whether they meant to say a bedroom or no space at all. Mr. Regan is not comfortable granting this until we have a clear understanding of this comment. Zella Elizenberry makes a motion to continue this matter until April 28t" until this can be cleared up. Mr. Nelson seconds the motion. All agree. So moved. •
