Board of Appeals Little River Boatyard SP-89-04-41 Page 2..` <br /> He renewed the building permit for two rack storage buildings on <br /> October 19, 1987. He consolidated the plans to provide for one rack <br /> storage building with a total square foot area less than that of the <br /> cottages. He commenced construction and the Building Inspector issued <br /> a verbal stop work order and informed Mr. Burtis he would be required to <br /> apply to the Board of Appeals for a special permit. <br /> Comments were received from abutters and neighbors both in favor <br /> of the Petition and opposed to the Petition. The Board also received <br /> letters and signed petitions in favor and opposed to the application <br /> C <br /> I for a Special Permit. <br /> d The Conservation and Shellfish Commissions had no objections. 1 <br /> In response to concerns of the Board, Mr. Burtis prepared a parking <br /> plan of the site which provided for 110 vehicle spaces for 109 boats. <br /> After consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing <br /> by interested parties and two site visits by sitting members of the Board <br /> of Appeals as well as other Town Officials, the Board hereby makes the <br /> iLd following findings: <br /> " 1. The site is an approximate 2.97 acre parcel situated on <br /> Seconsett Island immediately proximate to the Little River. <br /> ;`cog_• The immediate neighborhood consists of a mixture of year-round <br /> : • single and multi-family homes as well as cottage colonies. <br /> Typical home sites in the area generally are of a non-conforming <br /> `• ��� nature relative to the existing bylaw. In the site visits <br /> the Board determined that the proposed expansion of the subject <br /> ;:`1 ".• boatyard's existing use is in conformity with the intent of <br /> Section 5. 1 of the Zoning By-law, and, in fact, is in harmony with <br /> �'•., the general, purpose and intent of the Zoning By-law; that the <br /> r <br /> proposed use appears to comply with the provisions set forth <br /> !.':i'•' : within the Zoning By-law, and that the expansion and change of <br /> the non-conforming use as proposed shall not be substantially <br /> more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing non- <br /> conforming use. (MCL, Chapter 40A, Section 6.) <br /> 2. As a further finding of fact, the Board noted that the original <br /> use of the subject parcel predates the Zoning By-law of the Town <br /> of Mashpee and, in fact, has operated as a Boatyard since 1903. <br />
