U9: U.Sp' <br /> Celine Ritzo <br /> 16 Candlewood Lane { <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649-2237 <br /> 508-539-3334 <br /> 'l <br /> Town of Mashpee <br /> Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals l <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> Reasons for Variance: <br /> Side set back allows for construction of greenhouse, however, parcel#34 on map 21 is a <br /> corner lot. According to Mashpee Bylaws the left "side" is also a"front" so the required j <br /> setback is 30 feet instead of the expected 15 feet. This difference means that we cannot <br /> legally construct our greenhouse without a variance. <br /> 1999 - looking to move out of a neighborhood (in Sandwich) with numerous <br /> restrictive covenants where we could not have a greenhouse. <br /> • Found a lot in Mashpee -a greenhouse being one criteria. Called Mashpee Town Hall, <br /> gave the address and asked if a greenhouse could be built on this parcel. Told yes, and <br /> i <br /> that it had to be 30 feet from Candlewood. jl <br /> • Decided to purchase lot and have home built. Wanted greenhouse constructed at same <br /> time but could not get builder to agree because any changes to the existing plan would <br /> have to be resubmitted. <br /> • 2000 - House completed on June 12th and closed on July 5th. Moved in mid-July. <br /> • August - researched options for greenhouse. <br /> • September- decided to build ourselves. Called Building Department to check on <br /> "footings." Told that footings could probably be 8" sona tubes and to bring the plans <br /> in. Also told that it could not be built over septic and had to be 15 feet from the <br /> property line. <br /> • Brought pre-plans in: sona tubes OK'd, given necessary forms for submitting, told <br /> there was a $40 fee and given a map and coordinates showing layout of septic. Told <br /> holes for concrete piers had to be inspected. <br /> • Brought back finished plans, a map of parcel showing location of green house(set 15 <br /> feet back from the left property line and 50+feet from Candlewood), necessary forms <br /> and a check..Building materials had arrived the day before. Requested an inspection of <br /> holes so that we could start. <br /> • For the first time we were told it could not be built.as drawn because corner lots are <br /> viewed as having two fronts. Therefore we needed to be 30 feet from the property line <br /> on the left side. <br />
