MacRoberts requests a Special Permit under § 174-45.4 of the Zoning By-laws to allow for construction of an accessory apartment on property located in an R-5 Zoning District, (Map 61 Parcel 46), Mashpee, MA. (Continued from August 10, 2016 Bearings at the request of the Board). Mr. Joseph Butler, the builder returned to represent Kathleen MacRoberts who was also present for the Special Permit application. Mr. Butler updated the house plans as the Board requested at the last hearing. He reviewed the plans and spoke with Glen Harrington, Board of Health and Mike Mendoza, Building Commissioner. Mr. Butler said that the accessory apartment is connected as a mud room with a roof that is attached to the houses. The accessory apartment is 38% floor space. The house has 3 bedrooms, and the leaching field will need to be increased for the additional bedroom. Mr. Butler also said that the breezeway will have a foundation underneath. The Board had a discussion regarding the attic space in the main house to confirm that it is not a bedroom. Chairman Furbush reviewed the bylaw requirements with the applicant. He wanted clarification regarding the parking situation and would like to discuss the breezeway connecting the main house, whether it is considered and addition. Also, the lot coverage is not depicted on the plot plan. The Chairman would like to discuss the details of the bylaw and get clarification regarding the proposed breezeway with Town Counsel. Mr. Mendoza believes that the breezeway connecting the house would make this an addition, and does not meet the bylaw requirements. He said it's the Board's decision. Mr. Bonvie read the Board of Health comments into the record. A building permit cannot be issued until the revised plan is approved by the Board of Health. Kathleen MacRoberts wanted to know why the Board couldn't make a motion contingent upon a revised plot plan. Chairman Furbush read the bylaw aloud to the audience and said that he does not have any issues, but wants to confirm the Board's questions with Town Counsel. Mr. Butler asked the Board for a continuance to the September 28, 2016 meeting so that the Board could discuss the project with Town Counsel. Mr. Bonvie made a motion to accept the applicant's request for an extension until September 28, 2016. Mr. Blaisdell seconded. All were in favor of the extension request. 3
