Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by publication in The Mashpee Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on June 16, 2023 and June 23, 2023 a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A §6 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Public Hearings were held on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, July 12, 2023 at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout; Chairman, Ron Bonvie, William Blaisdell, Jonathan Furbush, and Associate Members Sharon Sangeleer and Charles Reidy. Also present was David Morris, Building Commissioner. Mr. and Mrs. Degnan presented their petition request for a Written Finding at 23 Pembroke Drive. They are requesting a minor remodel of their existing home. They provided the Board with the site and building plans for the project. The front and side setbacks are well within the requirements as depicted on the site plan described under the zoning table. The rear setback is 6.7 ft. pre-existing non-conforming, and is not changing. Mr. Degnan explained that there is an existing deck that wraps around the right side of the house. He would like to extend the existing deck by 6 ft. and install a garage underneath to the depth of that deck. The deck is approximately 24 ft. and will be extended 5.7 ft. The garage will have an entry way into the existing basement. There is an existing deck in the rear of the house that has an egress, and will be enclosed to become a mud room. The other work involves a front deck and landing of the main entrance. This deck is angled and the handrail will be adjusted so it will be flush with the existing railing and will not impact the front setbacks. This project was approved by the Conservation Commission last fall, and involves some minor mitigation. 1
