Wachtenheim of Providence, Rhode Island, for a Special Permit under Section 174-17 of the'Zoning By-laws for permission to expand a non-conforming structure with the replacement of a house and garage in an R-3 zoning district on property located at 78 Popponesset Island Road (Map 106, Block 30) Mashpee, Massachusetts. 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 October 4 and October 11, 1991, 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, October 23, 1991 at 7:30 P.M. at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: William J. Hanrahan, Michael A. Makunas and Cheryl A. Hawver. Attorney Kevin Kirrane represented the applicants and presented plans for the replacement of a seasonal house and garage with a year- round structure. He explained that the new location of the home met the side and rear setback requirements and conformed to the lot coverage but that a Variance would be required for the front set-back. He informed the Board that the Conservation Commission had requested that the buildings be reconstructed closer to Popponesset Island Road to preserve the coastal bank. No comments were received from abutters. The Board found that the use is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the By-laws and complies with the provisions therein and that the extension would not be more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconforming use.
