C P. 0. Box 1108 r9$ MASHPEE. MA 02649 BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A VARIANCE RE: William F. and Christine Mullen for a Variance V-89-10-98 A Petition was filed by William F. and Christine Mullen of Westwood, Massachusetts for a Variance for permission to vary the set back requirements in an R-3 zoning district on property located at 1 Lisa Lane (Map 99, Block 11) Mashpee, Massachusetts. Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 4OA. Notice was given by publication in The Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on November 13 and November 20, 1989, 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, November 29, 1989 at 7:30 p.m. at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: Michael A. Makunas, William J. Hanrahan and Richard E. Halpern. Ron McCarthy, Builder, represented the applicant. He explained that engineering errors had been made in 1982 when the property was built with the result that the side line set back from the garage is 14.41' .and the front set back from the pool is 23.76' . The errors. were recently discovered after an application for a mortgage. The Board determined that a literal enforcement of the provisions of the zoning by-laws would involve substantial hardship and that desireable relief could be granted without derogating from the intent of the by-laws. The Board found that this Variance request would not be a detriment to the surrounding neighborhood.
