TOWN OF MASHPEE BOARD OF APPEALS TOWN HALL, MASHPEE, MASSACHUSETTS 02649 PAg DECISION RE: Petition of Daniel D. O' Neill for a Variance Case #V-85-04-015 A petition was filed by Daniel D. O' Neill of West Hyannis- port, Massachusetts for a Variance for permission to vary the road setback requirements on property located on Lakewood Drive and Jones Road, Mashpee, Massachusetts. Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Mass- achusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by public- ation in the Falmouth Enterprise, a newspaper of general circula- tion in the Town of Mashpee on April 10, 1985 and April 17, 1985 a copy of which is attached hereto and made apart hereof. A public hearing was held on the petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, April 24, 1985, at 7 : 30 p.m. at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: Manuel Costa, Michael Makunas and Will- iam Hanrahan. f Nancy Dempsey represented Mr. O'Neill in this matter. She explained that the lot was a peculiarly shaped piece of land. It came out of a subdivision approval in 1969. Mr. O' Neill bought it in 1977. In trying to meet all the sideline and setbacks required, Mr. O'Neill came up with the plan that the Board was shown, which comes up 12 feet short of the sideline for Jones Road. Mr. Costa was familiar with the area and explained to the Board how Jones Road ran. It was felt that a part of Jones Road could be abandoned. The only thing that bothered Mr. Makunas was the right of way should be 40 feet, the plan was misleading because it said 20 foot right of way. He felt that 20 feet isn' t even a road. This would actually make the setback 18 feet instead of 28 feet. The Board also noted the problem with the terrain on the lot.
