MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT Owners, Donna Kelley Bonkowski and Stephen J. Bonkowski 21 Overlook Knoll Road (Map 118 Parcel 35) Mashpee, MA 02649 SP-2022-42 Attorney Kirrane said that drywells will be installed on the property to comply with the DPW Director comments regarding any water runoff to remain onsite. The area on Seaview will have an impervious surface, and will not create any additional runoff issues. Also, his clients want to eliminate any vehicles driving through the lot from one street to the other. The proposed new designed driveway will prohibit any vehicles driving through the lot. The home is a 1950's building will be replaced with a building code compliant building, and a new Title 5 Septic System will be installed. The Board recently approved a similar project at 17 Overlook Knoll Road, and this project will not be substantially more detrimental than what currently exists. GENERAL CRITERIA The subject property located at 21 Overlook Knoll Road is approximately 6,375 square feet. There were two abutters present. An abutter letter was read into the record. SPECIAL PERMIT FINDINGS The Board determined the following; The new construction will comply with current building code requirements. A new Title 5 Septic System will be installed. The proposed driveway will prohibit vehicles from traveling through the lot from one street to the next street. Comments were submitted by Catherine Laurent, DPW Director and read into the record; "Shore Drive in the vicinity of Bluff Avenue is subject to significant street flooding during storm events. Portions of the surrounding roads, including Overlook Knoll Road and Seaview Avenue all contribute to this flooding, especially as drainage infrastructure on these roads are limited at best. For this reason as well as general policy, all storm water runoff from the property at 21 Overlook Knoll Road should be contained onsite (including but not limited to roof runoff). Use of pervious material such as stone or shell for the proposed driveways will help provide for infiltration of storm water." The Conservation Department comments were read into the record; "not within wetlands jurisdiction," and the Board of Health comments were also read into the record; "Septic plan design has adequate flow."
