MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 NEW HEARINGS 79 Cayuga Avenue: Petitioner, David J. Rivera requests a Variance under § 174-31 from the front and side yard setbacks, and lot coverage requirements to allow for construction of a garage and porch on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, Map 58 Parcel 12, Mashpee MA. (Owner of Record: Kristen E. Ferguson). David Rivera represented the project for the homeowner. He plans to purchase the home and would like to add a garage and bump out the second floor six feet, and the first floor will have a farmer's porch. Chairman Furbush noticed a plastic 8' x 8' shed that was situated by the existing deck. Mr. Mendoza said that this does not affect lot coverage because it's not in a flood zone. If it was in the flood zone, it would be required to be secured. The lot coverage will need to be significantly reduced. Chairman Furbush suggested that the proposed garage structure be reduced from 18 ft. to 14 ft. which will make it 9.8' off the side lot Iine. The total proposed square footage for all the structures along with the proposed garage estimate to be 2,208 sq. feet. This will need to be changed to 2,049 sq. feet because the proposed garage would put it over the 20% lot coverage. By reducing the size of the proposed garage to 14 feet wide, it should reduce the lot coverage to exactly 20%. The plan must indicate what the lot coverage will be when adding the proposed 14 foot wide garage to what is currently on the plan now. The Board requested a new plot plan showing the requested existing, and proposed dimensions, with 20% lot coverage. Also the plan should show a revision date, with the amended garage dimensions 18 ft. to 14 ft. Elevation on house plans. Building Department will need the house plans. The Board requested a letter from the neighbor stating that they approve the project. Board of Health (BOH) requires the entrance to study on first floor must be six -feet with a cased opening so it cannot be considered a bedroom, per our BOH regulations, DPW requires a curb cut permit. Ron made a motion to continue the hearing until September 28, 2016. Bill seconded. All were in favor to continue the hearing for the garage and deck addition project. 1.42 Fells Pond Road: Owner, Edward Cohen and Reesa Cohen, Trustees request a Written Finding under § 174-17 of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for construction of a three season sunroom on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, Map 122 Parcel 198, Mashpee, MA. 11
