Mr. Nelson seconded. All agreed. Kevin & Marilyn J. Radford -Request a Variance from Section 174-31 of the Zoning By-laws for permission to vary the sideline setback requirements to allow for construction of an attached garage to property located in an R-3 zoning district at 41 Surf Drive(Map 103 Block 34),Mashpee, MA. Members sitting: Edward M. Govoni, James E. Regan III and Robert G. Nelson, Mr. Shawn Gilfoy, the builder for the project, and Mrs. Radford,the owner, represented the application. Mr. Gilfoy submitted revised plans for the construction of an attached one-car garage, indicating that the topography (a big gully)of the lot determines the placement of the garage. He also stated that the other houses in the area have garages and any new homes constructed in that area now require a garage, He said that the owner plans to landscape the area. Mr. Govoni read a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Robert Connolly, owners of the vacant lot abutting the subject property, in opposition to the project. Their son-in-law, Mr. Robert Benoit,who is not an abutter, called on the phone in opposition to the project. Mrs. Olive Granville, an abutter,wrote a letter in support of the proposed construction. Mr. Govoni asked if the owner would consider reducing the size of the garage by two feet. Mrs. Radford prefers the garage to be 16 feet by 22 feet as she intends on using it for storage area as well. Mr. Nelson, a resident of the area, was of the opinion that the addition of the garage is beneficial, not detrimental, to the neighborhood. Mr, Robert Benoit expressed concern that the garage will be encroaching closer to his in- laws' vacant lot.
