Notice was given by publication in the Falmouth Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on October 12 and October 19, 1988, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. at A public hearing was held on the petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, October 26, 1988 and continued on Wednesday, November 9, 1988 at 7:30 p.m. at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: .William Hanrahan, Michael Makunas and Cheryl Hawver. Mr. Lee presented plans for a swimming pool to be built at the rear of the property on an irregularly shaped lot. He explained that a medical : hardship required use of the pool for therapeutic reasons. No abutters were present. - r The Board determined that due to circumstances related to the shape of the lot in question a literal enforcement of the provisions of the zoning by-law would involve substantial hardship. The Board found that this Variance request would not derogite from the intent or purpose of the By-laws and would not be a detriment to the surrounding neighborhood. Upon motion. duly made and seconded, the Board of Appeals voted unanimously on November 9, 1988 to grant a variance in side line setbacks of 3 feet reducing the requirement from 15 feet to 12 feet on each side of the pool and a variance in the rear setback requirement of 22 feet reducing the a setback from 40 feet to 18 feet.
