Attorney Chris Kirrane represented the applicants. Also present was Mark with Cape and Islands Engineering. The applicants are looking for relief of a modest size in-ground pool that will be at the rear of the property. The project has been approved by the Conservation Commission with a substantial amount of mitigation.The area where the pool will be situated currently has lawn and existing hardscape that is close to the Mashpee River. The existing dwelling and structures are currently within the 50 ft. buffer. The shape of the lot is narrow by the road than it is by the Mashpee River, and there are topographical issues considering the wetland resource areas. There's a coastal bank, a beach and the river. There is no derogation on the intent of the bylaw because Conservation has approved the project, and there is already substantial encroachment into the 50 ft. buffer. The Variance request would be for 50 ft. from the wetlands. The Board had a discussion regarding the lot coverage. The current lot coverage is 14.6% and the proposed is 16.2%. There were no issues. Ms. Sangeleer read the Board of Health and Conservation comments into the record.
