ADDENDUM A Reason for Variance <br /> Applicant is requesting a variance for permission to vary the size and <br /> dimension of parking spaces in a C-1 zoning district on property <br /> located at 38 Nathan Ellis Highway, (Map 74, Block 20) Mashpee, <br /> MA. Section 174-38 of the Mashpee Bylaws requires that each car <br /> space shall be not less than 9 feet in width and 20 feet in length, <br /> exclusive of drives and maneuvering space. <br /> The applicant requests to make minor revisions to the site plan to <br /> change the size of the parking bays from the 9' by 20' dimension <br /> required under Section 174-38 to a dimension of 9' by 19'. The <br /> applicant is requesting that such changes be approved by the <br /> Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals. <br /> The applicant is requesting this variance because of circumstances <br /> relating to the shape of the parcel which neccessitates the need for a <br /> variance from the dimensional requirements for the size of the <br /> parking spaces. Further, this parcel takes its frontage on the rotary <br /> as well as from Route 151 and Great Neck Road which make it unique <br /> in terms of its shape and location. This results in the need for the <br /> variance in order to use the property in a reasonable fashion for the <br /> purposes for which it is zoned. <br /> This requested variance would allow parking dimensions that are <br /> larger than the dimensions that were allowed in variance V-93-5 for <br /> North Market Street to alter the size and dimension of parking <br /> spaces. The variance reduced the 300 square foot module to 270 <br /> square feet, reduced the 20 foot length of parking space to 18 feet <br /> and allowed a 7 foot width. These spaces have since been developed <br /> and utilized in a safe and convenient fashion. <br /> i <br /> The applicant feels that a literal enforcement of the provisions of the <br /> zoning by-laws would involve substantial hardship. That desirable l <br /> relief may be granted without nullifying or derogating from the intent <br /> or purpose of the zoning ordinance or by-law. The applicant feels that <br /> desirable relief may be granted without detriment to the public good <br /> and will not create a regional impact. <br /> i <br />
