Mashpee Zoning Douglas Lambert Board of Appeals V-06-14 2 discusses the history of the zoning changes and the fact that this purchase was made in good faith by Mr. Lambert. The Board reviews the letters and paperwork and finds that this is a reasonable variance request. Abutters Tom Fudala offers support on this variance request. However,Neil Dupont of 32 Christopher Lane feels that the variance restrictions are in place to reduce the density of houses being built on small lots. The Board takes into consideration his comments however, where so many lots in the area have similar residences on them. They feel the variance is reasonable. Frederick Borgeson makes a motion to grant a 27,500 square foot landspace variance and a 50 foot frontage variance. Robert Nelson seconds the motion. All agree. So moved. GENERAL FINDINGS 1. that the subject lot is located at 68 Brewster Road and contains 12,500 square feet. VARIANCE CRITERIA Section 10 of Chapter 40A requires that the permit granting authority determine that there are circumstances relating to the shape and topography which affect this lot and not the district in which it is located and that a literal enforcement of the By-laws would involve hardship to the petitioner. SPECIFIC FINDINGS The Board determined that: 1. that there are circumstances relating to the shape and topography that affect the subject lot and not the district in which it is located. 2. that a literal enforcement of the By-laws would involve hardship to the Petitioner. 3. that relief may be granted without detriment to the public good. 4. that relief may be granted without derogating from the intent or purpose of the By-laws.
