i ; P. 0. BOX 1108 rAH w MASHPEE. MA 02649 BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A VARIANCE RE: Petition of Suzanne Nash for a Variance V-89-09-87 A Petition was filed by Suzanne Nash of Canton, Massachusetts for a Variance from Section 7.7 of the Land Space Requirements for permission to build a house addition and new deck within 50 feet of Santuit Pond in an R-5 zoning district on property located at 57 Timberland Drive (Map 29, Block 33C) Mashpee, Massachusetts. Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by publication in The Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee on October 9 and 16, 1989, 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, October 25, 1989 at 7:30 P.M. at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: Cheryl A. Hawver, William J. Hanrahan and Michael A. Makunas. Mr. George Thorng of Arrow Engineering represented the applicant. He presented plans for an addition and deck to be built within 50 feet of Santuit Pond. The buildings on the lot presently result in 8.67 lot coverage and with the proposed additions lot coverage would be 16.97. Comments were received from the Conservation Commission concerning the septic system plans. The Board determined that the Title V concerns were not within the authority of the Board of Appeals and would be under the jurisdiction of the Board of Health. No comments were received from abutters. The Board found that the topography of the lot created a hardship and that this Variance request would not derogate from the intent of the By-laws and would not be a detriment to the surrounding neighborhood.
