Notice was given by publication in The Mashpee Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on November 11, 2022 and November 18, 2022. The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the .provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A §10 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Public Hearings were held on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, December 14, 2022 at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present; Acting Chairman,Ron Bonvie, Scott Goldstein,Norman J. Gould, Associate Member, Charlie Reidy and Robert Caggiano. Also present was David Morris, Building Commissioner. The Building Commissioner reviewed the shed request back in April for zoning compliance purposes and determined that the placement of the shed required a Variance. Ms. Funk presented a site plan dated December 15, 2021 that depicted a hand-drawn 10 ft. x 20 ft. shed showing a 15 ft. setback from the side lot line. The Board was handed another site plan dated September 30, 2022 that depicted the shed setback 11 ft. from the side lot line. The homeowner would like the shed located in front of a concrete apron of an existing pool. Mr. Bonvie reviewed the hand-drawn site plan dated Dec. 15, 2021 and noticed that the concrete patio of the pool depicts a distance of 30 ft. from the property line, and 15 ft. plus 10 ft. for the width of the shed which would be 25 ft. This would allow 5 ft. Ms. Funk said the shed approximately 13 ft. from the fence, but she thought it was 2 ft. closer to the fence. The fence existed since 2003. Ms. Funk thought the shed was rather large and doesn't believe that the shed would fit in between the concrete pad and fence. H HASHF .. TOWN i C .
