Cloran of Mashpee, Massachusetts for a Variance under Section 174-31 of the Zoning By-laws for permission to vary the setbacks in an R-3 zoning district on property located at 156 Shore Drive (Map 123, Block 158) Mashpee, Massachusetts. (Owner of record: H. Frances T. Cloran) . Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by publication in The Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee on December 21 and December 28, 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, January 9, 1991 at 7:30 P.M. at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: Cheryl A. Hawver, Michael A. Makunas and William J. Hanrahan. Engineer Scott McAskill represented the applicant. He presented plans for a proposed home on a corner lot and said plans required a 32.70' front set back from Shore Drive and a 25. 18' set back from Beach Road with proposed lot coverage of 10.67%. He explained that the topography of the lot did not permit any other location for the house. The Board found that there were circumstances relative to the shape and topography which specifically affected the land in question but not the zoning district in which the land was located and that a literal enforcement of the by-laws would involve substantial hardship. The 'i Board determined that relief could be granted without derogating from the intent of the by-laws or detriment to the public good.
