MA 02649 BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A VARIANCE RE: George Gillmore for a Variance - V-92-38 A Petition was filed by George R. Gillmore of Cotuit, Massachusetts for a Variance from Section 174-31 of the Zoning By-laws for permission to vary the front yard setback requirements in an I-1 zoning district on property located at 37 Bowdoin Road (Map 54, Block 10) Mashpee, Massachusetts. (Owner of record: Stephen P. and Philip R. Holmes TRS.) Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 4OA. Notice was given by publication in The Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee on May 8 and May 15, 1992, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. A public hearing was held on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, May 27, 1992 at 7:30 P.M. at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: John J. Friel, Michael A. Makunas and Edward M. Govoni. Douglas Cameron of Braman Engineering represented the applicant and presented revised plans for a building and landscaping on the site. He explained that a variance was required in the front setback to allow for the rear yard storage of heavy equipment. The original setback requirement was 75' in this area. No comments were received from abutters. The.Design_Reviewr-Committee had approved the revised plan. The Board of Appeals determined that the topography of the lot created a hardship affecting the land in question but not the zoning district in which it is located and that relief could be granted without derogating from the intent of the by-law or without detriment to the public good.
