TOWN OF MASHPEE <br /> BOARD OF APPEALS <br /> PETITIONER: Louis Monaco <br /> HEARING January 23, 1974 <br /> PLACE Mashpee Town Hall <br /> FACTS <br /> In May of 1973 a building permit #2012 was issued to the <br /> Petitioner for the construction of an addition to his home at <br /> Lot #13, Rocklanding Road.
