Board of Appeals Andrew Lipnosky- V-97-57 3. Specific Findings: 1. John Ewer Road has existed for more than ninety(90) years and has served as an access to the State boat ramp on Peter's Pond for many years. It has adequate sight distances from each of the prospective residential lot driveways and can be maintained at a sufficient width to provide adequate access for emergency vehicles. 2. the proposed lot sizes are consistent, if not greater than, other lots in the area and the proposed use is also consistent with the neighborhood. 3. substantial hardship would result without Variance relief since the land can be put to no useful purpose. 4. the topography and soil conditions affect this lot and not the district in which it is located and the planned road surfacing will improve public safety. Upon motion duly made and seconded the Board of Appeals voted unanimously on October 22, 1997 to grant a Variance from Section 174-12 of the Zoning By-laws with the condition that the applicant meet the requirements of Section 174-32 of the Zoning By-laws: 1. the applicant shall provide an all-weather surface roadway capable of supporting fire-fighting apparatus with an all-weather surface roadway, there shall be an unobstructed, paved access roadway of not less than 20 feet with a vertical clearance of not less than 13 feet six inches with all corners and curves having a minimum inside radius of not less than 28 feet and a minimum outside radius of not less than 46 feet. Said access roadway shall be constructed to a point not less than 150 feet from the furthest point of any building on the lot. 2. the all-weather surface roadway shall be required only along the lot frontage within the control of the applicant. 3. access to a paved road shall be from the Sandwich end of John Ewer Road and shall not be required from the Mashpee end of John Ewer Road.
