_O'W�'L of JVLaS 2e Planntn Board <br />16 Great Neck R.oadNorth <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />Ms. Waygan noted that will need to be a mathematic example for the Building <br />Commissioner. <br />Mr. Lehrer would like a joint meeting with ZBA for joint article submission to Town Meeting. <br />If you are on a non -conforming structure, you may consider increasing footprint within <br />certain parameters as defined below. You can't create new non conformities but are allowed <br />to make the house bigger. Minimum or maximum lot coverage by structures has a <br />requirement of 25%. The land subject to coastal storm flow could include language to <br />exclude land subject to coastal storm flow. Living in Popponesset will have vastly different <br />affects than someone living on Main St. <br />Ms. Waygan would like to go over number three, not exceeding floor space of 40%, but <br />height can get bigger only within certain parameters. <br />Mr. Lehrer clarified you can increase size and setback as long as there is no non conformity. <br />The Chair of the Board of Appeals is interested in working with the Planning Board on this. <br />Tree Protection Bylaw <br />Ms. Faulkner handed around a document. Mr. Lehrer went on to say this covers property <br />owners. What if he is an owner not seeking a building permit, and has no interest in building, <br />but has a breast height white oak in the tree yard, does he get to remove it because he is <br />not building? Some owners will have no restrictions in removing trees because they aren't <br />seeking a building permit. It seems unfair in a sense. <br />Ms. Faulkner asked what someone would do if they wanted to take down a healthy tree. <br />Mr. Lehrer noted if you're not seeking a building permit, you can still cut down your tree. <br />Ms. Waygan commented that during construction is when you see people go in and clear <br />cut and that is what we are trying to stop. It's a good place to start, and if people love it and <br />want more trees protected, then we enhance it. Right now, she thinks this is the only way to <br />start. <br />Mr. Balzarini stated if someone wants to cut down a tree they can bring it to the dump and <br />residents can salvage it for fire wood. <br />Mr. Lehrer contemplated an exception for the driveway. There are many configurations of a <br />driveway. In certain configurations, it would achieve the preservation intent of the bylaw. <br />Under this bylaw, trees can be removed to mitigate property. He would not recommend the <br />driveway exception. <br />12 <br />
