doesn't think this applies to anyone in town. Maximum <br />stories but Popponesset has a 30ft. height maximum. <br />16 Great Weck RoadWorth <br />-Mashpee, -Massachusetts 02649 <br />height across town is 35 ft. and 2.5 <br />Mr. Lehrer gave an example where fill was being brought in to raise a structure. Footage was <br />taken off the roof. Height is feet from natural grade and then stories. One would not gain <br />credits by being on pilings. <br />Mr. Balzarini stated the first floor has to be 14 ft. above sea level. <br />Properties In the Floodplain (Overlay and Popponesset) <br />Ms. Faulkner commented for structures in a preexisting non -conformity, property owner cannot <br />increase footprint. <br />One resident remarked that regardless of location, in or out of floodplain, this applies to all <br />Popponesset. He has a problem with that. There are a lot of houses that were already built in <br />the floodplain. They are struggling with how to deal with these issues and the goal should be to <br />encourage homeowners to become more compliant. Meet the goals we talked about earlier <br />like clean water and breakaway panels for a more flood compliant situation. If you say we can't <br />do anything then you're never going to improve the situation. You're going to do nothing or sell <br />to someone who has money to fight the bylaw or special permit decision and win. He wants to <br />see something that encourages people to make the situation better. <br />You can add on to your home in the floodplain, trigger 50% to encourage all compliant utilities, <br />put your addition on, but its still in the floodplain. What do we lose when we fill in coastal <br />floodplain? Do we lose flood capacity of the ocean? That little fill is not going to impact flood <br />storage. Is it going to negatively impact water quality? It's safe and it's built according to code. <br />It will improve resiliency to that storm. A couple houses had a little channel between them, a <br />hurricane came in and eroded foundations and houses collapsed. You can fill in the channel <br />and make it more resilient to protect those homes. The water table and 100 year flood are <br />sourced differently. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated footprint is any structure defined in building code like a pool, decks, or <br />gazebo, but not sheds. The use of the word in the draft was intended to mean the principal <br />dwellings footprint. They consider all those structures. The driveway and patio are not. <br />It was stated removing these takes away from everything that makes living here enjoyable. We <br />aren't looking at people cheating to get away from rules. You cannot draft a perfect zoning <br />bylaw. Lawyers work on the edges. Instead of punishing the homeowner work on a pathway to <br />encourage. <br />Ms. Waygan stated we need to protect people from outrageous proposals. She is not trying to <br />punish anyone. <br />7 <br />
