Ridenour 79 Neshobe Road (Map 125 Parcel 56) Mashpee, MA 02649 Doc.: 1463279 Ctf.: 230507 A Petition was filed on August 30, 2022 by Owner, Kimberly A. Ridenour requesting a Variance under § 174-31 (Land Space Requirements) of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for construction of a 24 ft. by 28 ft. detached garage on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, Map 125, Parcel 56, Mashpee, MA. Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by publication in The Mashpee Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on September 16, 2022 and September 23, 2022 a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A § 10 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Public Hearings were held on the Petition at the Mashpee Public Library on Wednesday, October 12, 2022 at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout; Acting Chairman, William Blaisdell, Board Members, Ron Bonvie, Scott Goldstein, Norman J. Gould, and Associate Member, George Ganzenmuller. Mr. Ridenour represented the Variance request for a 24 ft. x 26 ft. detached garage with a bedroom above. The dimensions of the garage were revised at the hearing, but not shown on the plan. The site plan depicts a proposed three (3) bedroom house, with an attached garage that was recently issued a building permit. The Variance request is from the front setback for the detached 24 ft. x 26 ft. garage. The Health Agent submitted comments and were read into the record as noted; "Plan shows an apartment on second level with bedroom and plumbing. There is no septic plan to service this area. Septic design to service main house is not large enough to handle the 5th bedroom and a single compartment tank is not allowed to service two buildings. Unless new septic plans are submitted the Health Department cannot approve the livable space above the detached garage." Mr. Ridenour met with the Health Agent and discussed adding another tank on the property, and submitting a new floor plan depicting a 6 ft. opening for one of the other rooms in the main house.
