Board of Appeals Mobil Oil Corporation V-95-27 2. Attorney I D. Murphy and Engineer Frank Quigley represented the applicant. Attorney Murphy reviewed plans for the change of an existing gasoline service and repair station to a station for gasoline sales and a convenience store. The applicant proposes to add a canopy over new gasoline pumps which will require a Variance of the 20 foot setback between buildings and in the front setback; an addition to the existing building which will require a Variance in the side-line setback; and a Variance to exceed the allowed 40 foot square footage in a free standing sign. The Board was informed that the applicant has approval from the Selectmen for the installation of three new gasoline storage tanks and from the Board of Health for a new septic system and will be connecting to Town water. The applicant has the approval of the State Highway Department and the Mashpee Department of Pubfic Works to extend the island which runs down the center line of Falmouth Road from the Rotary Circle to approximately the center of the frontage of the premises and to add a sign at the northerly driveway to bar exiting traffic from making a left turn. Variance Criteria: Section 10 of Chapter 40A requires that the permit granting authority determine that there are circumstances relating to the shape and topography which affect the subject lot and not the district in which it is located and that a literal enforcement of the by-laws would involve hardship to the petitioner and that relief may be granted without detriment to the public good and without derogating from the intent or purpose of the By-laws. Findings: A. General 1. The property is an approximately 55,000 square foot triangular shaped lot with 301 feet of frontage on Falmouth Road/Route 28 and approximately 46 feet of frontage on Great Neck Road. The lot is within the commercial zoning district. I
