Lopes for a Variance V-90-30 A Petition was filed by Raymond C. and Gail S. Lopes of Mashpee, Massachusetts for a Variance under Section 174-31 of the Zoning By-laws for permission to vary the setback requirements in an R-5 zoning district on property located at 156 Hooppole Road (Map 57, Block 24) Mashpee, Massachusetts. Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chaper 40A. Notice was given by publication in The Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee on March 12 and March 19, 1990, 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, March 28, 1990 at 7:30 p.m. at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: Cheryl A. Hawver, John J. Friel and Richard E. Halpern. Mrs. Lopes presented plans for a 20' x 34' bedroom addition. She explained that due to the topography of the lot and the location of the well and septic system the addition could only be placed on the south westerly lot side. Letters were .received from three abutters in favor of the Petition. The Board found that this Variance request would not derogate from the intent of the By-laws and would not be a detriment to the surrounding neighborhood. The Board determined that there were circumstances relating to the topography of the lot which especially affected the lot in question but did not affect generally the zoning district in which the land is located and that a literal enforcement of the By-laws would create a hardship.
