NEW HEARINGS 51 Timberlane Drive: Owner, Mashpee Tree House, LLC requests a Written Finding under §174-17 of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for an addition, extension of a pre-existing, non- conforming single-family dwelling on property located in an R-5 Zoning District, Map 29 Parcel 33B, Mashpee, MA. Attorney Brian Wall represented the applicants for their request to add a 14 ft. by 26 ft. bedroom addition on the south side of their existing dwelling. A finding is required because the lot and dwelling are non-conforming, and the proposed addition does not comply with current dimensional requirements under Section 174-31, and specifically to wetlands under Section 174-33. The site plan provided depicts the existing dwelling setback 40 ft. The side yard setbacks are 4.3 ft. on the north and 17.5 ft. on the south. The rear property line backs up to Santuit Pond, and the house is 43 ft. from the edge of the pond. The existing lot coverage is 16.2%. The lot is undersized at 12,468 sq. ft. when 80,000 sq. ft. is required. The side yard setback on the north is 4.3 ft. where 15 ft. is required. The house is setback 43 ft. from the pond, and 50 ft. is required. The addition complies with the front and side yard setbacks. Mr. Wall referred to footnote 19 in Section 174-31 which provides that the setback requirements to a house does not apply to an overhang that is not more than two (2) feet. The distance to the front facing wall of the house is 39.2 ft. and the foundation is setback 40.7 ft. The addition is within the 50 ft. setback to wetlands, but is not getting any closer than what currently exists. 1
