16 Great Neck RoadNorth <br />-lashpee, -Massachusetts 02649 <br />but not many. If retaining one wall, a property owner should be able to comply with setbacks <br />and conformities. <br />Glenn McCarthy explained about the concept of leaving one wall up when building if it isn't <br />being brought back to setbacks. Poppy has 15 ft. setbacks. What Raze & Replace did if you <br />rebuild, you don't have to put it to setbacks. Prior, if your house is 2 ft. from my lot line and you <br />want to add 30 ft. in height, you would have to come back 15ft. <br />Marge Hecht lives on two ponds, Johns and Ashumet, where there are a lot of modest sized <br />houses. They do not want to see mansions built where their neighbors have little traditional <br />Cape Cod cottages. She would not like to see two stories because they look down on them. <br />She would also like to see restrictions where these properties don't get bought up by real <br />estate companies or LLCs and get larger. <br />It was commented that some of these issues start with the Health Department. How can a <br />home that is being razed and replaced double in size as a two -bedroom house, but the plans <br />show five toilets? How does that not require an update in the septic? By the time it gets to the <br />ZBA it has already been approved by everyone so it is approved. <br />The leach field is based on bedrooms. Technically, someone could have 100 bathrooms in a <br />house and still only have 2 bedrooms, this is under Title 5 state requirements, 100 gallons per <br />bedroom per day. It must meet the requirements of a bedroom, i.e. privacy. If an opening and <br />common hallway is 6 feet or larger it is considered a space. People in the ZBA have the same <br />level of intelligence related to zoning as anyone else. They must rely on Conservation and the <br />BOH. Those people are the experts giving the consent and they rely on those findings heavily. <br />NEW SEABURY <br />New Seabury is comprised of 1,500 acres, 6 original villages, and 2000 homes. You could be <br />in the special permit or not. The right side is New Seabury, and the left side is independent. <br />The left side has minimal to no issues but came on board and willing to help. They can <br />override bylaws if they choose. <br />Particularly, this neighborhood is not seeing any major problems right now. There are some <br />pertaining to flood plain, but they operate on town bylaws, setbacks, an architectural review <br />committee, and the HOA. They don't get into bedrooms because it is up to the Board of Health <br />to restrict those. They get into issues of height; they don't arbitrate view; you didn't buy the <br />view when you purchased the home. The Special Permit that was granted to New Seabury is <br />very much complied with. <br />Ms. Waygan asked to see the architectural guidelines for New Seabury. That concept leads to <br />form -based code. <br />Mr. Balzarini commented there are no side setbacks, so they follow the town, but they don't <br />have to. <br />91 <br />
