Y <br /> TOWN OF MASHPEE <br /> BOARD OF APPEALS <br /> TOWN HALL, MASHPEE, MASSACHUSETTS 02649 <br /> DECISION <br /> I. rye co- <br /> I <br /> RE: Petition of Charles E. Campbell for Variance Case ##V-85-06-035 <br /> A petition was filed by Charles E. Campbell of Braintree, Mas- <br /> sachusetts for a Variance for permission to vary the front setback <br /> requirements on property located on Lot 182, Uncle Edwards Drive, <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts. <br /> Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts <br /> General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by publication in the <br /> Falmouth Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town <br /> of Mashpee on June 12, 1985 and June 19, 1985 a copy of which is <br /> attached hereto and made a part hereof. <br /> A public hearing was held on the petition at the Mashpee 'Town <br /> Hall on Wednesday, June 26 , 1985 at 7 :30 p.m. at which time the <br /> following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting <br /> throughout: William Hanrahan, Manuel Costa and Cheryl Hawver. <br /> Mr. Kirrane represented Mr. Campbell in this matter. Mr. Kirrane <br /> explained that the setback should be 25 feet, because of a mistake <br /> by the contractor or suveyor in this instance, a structure which is <br /> substantially complete has been placed on this lot which encroaches <br /> on the front yard requirement by approximately 2. 8 feet. Mr. Kirrane <br /> added that most of the lots in this area are nonconforming due to their <br /> size. Mr. Kirrane maintained that a substantial hardship would result <br /> should the Campbell 's be required to move the structure as it-exists <br /> now. Mr. Kirrane suggested to the Board that therequirementin the <br /> zoning by-law for a front yard setback is largely an esthetic consider- <br /> ation although there are public safety considerations. Mr. Kirrane did <br /> not feel that the house would create a problem in this area. <br />
