Mills Case: V-88-06-051 A Petition was filed by Thomas Staruch and Robert F. Mills of Mashpee, Massachusetts for Variance under Sections 7.1 and 7.5 of the Land Space Requirements for the extension of a non-conforming use on property located at Lot 40B Cotuit Road (Map 29, Lot 40) Mashpee, Massachusetts. Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by publication in the Falmouth Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on July 27 and August 3, 1988, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. A public hearing was held on the petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, August 10, 1988 at 7:30 p.m. at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: Cheryl Hawver, Richard Halpern and Edward Govoni. The Board was informed that the owners had purchased one lot on Cotuit Road which contained two houses. They have received Planning Board approval to divide the land into two lots. The house on Lot B is in poor condition and the owners would like to have it demolished and to rebuild on the lot. They are seeking the Variance to insure the lot retains its buildability if the house is torn down. Douglas Boyd, Building Inspector, and Randolph Peters, an abutter, confirmed the deterioration of the structure. The Board determined that there were circumstances which especially affect the structure in question but which do not affect generally the zoning district in which the structure is located. Due to these circumstances the literal enforcement of the zoning by-law would create a hardship. L
