He is seeking to build a 3 bedroom house which is minimum considering the size of thelot. The topography features establish where the ACEC is and that is what the client is seeking relief from. They would be willing to maintain the 50' buffer from the BV W if they can obtain relief and build within 25 feet of the ACEC. Mr. Sanicki also informs the Board that on June 10°i they received approval from Conservation Commission. Marshall Brem makes a motion to grant the variance as requested. Robert Nelson seconds the motion. All agree. So moved. Michael and Carol Atwill: Request a Variance from Section 174-31 of the Zoning By- laws to vary the setback requirements in order to build a 6' x 10' farmer's porch on property located in an R-5 zoning district at 12 Sachem Road (Map 65 Parcel 68) Mashpee, MA. Sitting: James Regan, Robert Nelson and Marshall Brem. Mr. Atwill represents himself at this continued hearing. This matter was continued from the May 26`x' hearing so that the petitioner could have his plans re-drawn for his wrap around porch that he is requesting a variance for. The Board felt he needed to reduce his lot coverage to 20% or below since that is the standard they adhere to. Originally Mr. Atwill's lot coverage with his porch was 23.4% along with his requested side, front and rearyard variance requests. He has now reduced the lot coverage to 21.2%, better but not below the 20%mark for a lot of about 6,000 square feet. Mr. Regan feels Mr. Atwill has accommodated the Board's requests with reasonableness. Mr. Nelson feels this should further be reduced to get it to 20% or better. After some further review, Mr. Atwill pulls out another set of plans with a proposal that reduces the lot coverage even further to 19.9% so as not to necessitate another continuance. The Board feels he has done his job and Mr. Brem moves to grant the following variances: 13.4 feet on Sachem Road, .9 feet on the southerly lot line and 25.2 feet on Sakonnet Drive. Mr. Nelson seconds the motion. All agree. So moved.
