MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR AN EXTENSION OF FINDING-2018-25 AND V-2018-26 Owners, John F. Dee and James K. Williams 46 Main St. (Map 47 Parcel 5) Mashpee, MA 02649 MOD-2022-25 Chairman Furbush mentioned that the petition requests were heard by the Board four years ago in 2018, and on June 23,2021 when the Board allowed a one year extension. Mr.Furbush asked the applicant what his intentions were and if he complied with the condition to remove the foundation and fill in the hole on the lot. Attorney Johnson said that this will be the last extension request. Mr. Williams said he has owned the property for a long time and his intention is to rebuild. If he does not receive the extension he will be forced to sell the property, but would like to rebuild. He said that he did not remove the foundation and wanted to keep the blocks to possibly build a garage or a shed. He asked the Board if he could put a fence around the area. Mr. Reidy said the Board conditioned that the foundation be removed. Mr. Goldstein said that he believes a structural engineer would need to confirm if it is safe to build on the existing foundation. He said as one member, he does not have an issue with the extension, however, he would want the foundation removed. Mr. Morris, Building Commissioner said that the foundation would have to meet the building code requirements, and he does not believe it is salvageable. Ms. Sangeleer read a comment into the record that the Board can only issue a six-month extension under Chapter 40A. Mr. Blaisdell commented that if they don't perform within the six month time frame, or fill in the foundation within one month,there will be no more extensions and he would be required to file a new application. There were no more comments from the Board. There were no abutters present. In view of the foregoing, the Board accepted the Petitioner's request for an extension.
