dawns TOWN OF MASHPEE BOARD OF APPEALS TOWN HALL, MASHPEE, MASSACHUSETTS 02649 PAg DECISION RE: Petition of Jill Ackerman Slaymaker for a Variance Case #V-85-05-019 A petition was filed by Jill Ackerman Slaymaker of Cotuit, Massachusetts for a Variance for permission to vary the minimum lot frontage requirements on property located on Old Mill Road, Mashpee, Massachusetts. Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massach- usetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by publication in the Falmouth Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee on April 24, 1985 and May 1 , 1985 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, May 8, 1985, at 7 :30 p.m. at which time the follow- ing members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting through- out: Manuel Costa, Michael Makunas and Cheryl Hawver. Ms. Ackerman explained that the manager is required to live on the farm because you. need 24 hour security, in addition she must be able to see and hear the barn and horses. If the barn proposed were to be placed anywhere else security would be impossible. There is also a steep hill on the property that would be a problem for the feed truck. Chief Hartin told Ms. Ackerman that he didn't want. the buildings to be further than 1000 feet from the hydrant. Ms. Ackerman said it would be a pole barn very conservative, with 5/8 inch tongue and groove exterior which will be stained. The structure will be wooden. The Board found the hardship to be the terrain of the lot.
