MEETING MINUTES MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APRIL 12,2023 The Building Commissioner does not have any issues. Mr. Goldstein does not have any issues if the Board of Health is satisfied. Attorney Kirrane said there are no Conservation issues. The two existing non-conformities of the front and rear are being eliminated and will become a conforming house in front, in the back and to both side setbacks. There are drywells being installed on the property to capture any roof runoff. There are no new non-conformities being created. There will be paved parking in the front to provide sufficient parking. The new building will be code compliant, and is consistent with other structures in the neighborhood. The front elevation complies with the height requirement under the 35 ft. There will be a new Title 5 septic system installed. Attorney Kirrane suggested to the Board that the new structure will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than what currently exists by eliminating the front and side non-conformities. Mr. Bonvie mentioned that the past two raze and replace projects will have Title 5 septic systems installed, and was curious why it wasn't a denite/innovative type system. He understands it is not under the Board's purview but wanted to understand the reason for past projects. Mr. Dibb said that his firm refers to the date that the plan was created, and may recommend that an innovative system be installed. Attorney Kirrane mentioned that it may be that this particular lot is not in a flood zone. Ms. Sangeleer read the comment from Attorney Kirrane that the height of the new home from the average grade at 28.9 %2 ft. There were no more comments from the Board. Mr. and Mrs. Sockbeson that reside at 294 Shore Drive are direct abutters to the subject property and had several questions on the project. Mr. Sockbeson mentioned that on the corner of Shore Drive and Pine Avenue is a historic area for flooding during rain events. Mr. Sockbeson wanted to review the actual height of the proposed house. He noticed on the plan that the mechanical units will be situated on his side of the house, and asked the Board if extra screening would help eliminate the noise. Mr. Sockbeson asked if generators will be running during construction. He asked if the line of trees along the property line belong to his lot or the subject property.. Mr. Bonvie mentioned that there is large impervious patio being proposed, and asked Mr. Dibb, Engineer if an additional dry well would be helpful and capture any water runoff. The Board asked Mr. Dibb if he could provide either a fence,wall or shrubbery to lessen the noise emitting from the mechanical units. Mr. Goldstein said that plantings are better absorbing sound, a fence or wall will just deflect the noise. The abutters agreed to shrubbery on three sides. Mr. Goldstein said that some builders will have a temporary service installed, but this is not part of the Zoning Board purview. 9
