IBIN <br />n <br />�AOTamnw M�� <br />Board <br />North <br />16 Great Neck Road <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />Proposed Amendment to the ADU Bylaw <br />Ms. Waygan put in a request for Town Counsel to review the Affordable Homes Act and <br />compare it to our Zoning Bylaw. Town Counsel may recommend zoning changes that will bring <br />us into compliance. <br />Proposed Amendment to the Raze and Replace Bylaw <br />The Board received correspondence from Bob Orsi with the Popponesset Working Group. <br />John Malloy is present as Co -Chair of the Working Group. This was brought about by <br />concerned residents that don't have the money to build larger homes, but want to stay in their <br />homes, ("age in place") while complying with code in moving electrical upstairs from basement <br />level, but not being able to expand. <br />Ms. Waygan stated Ipswich and Dennis have a bylaw for this. Falmouth now has a Warrant <br />Article, it is in the packet as correspondence, something worth reding as there might be <br />verbiage in there. You cannot create a `new non -conformity', they are existing nonconformities. <br />Conversation ensued regarding lot coverage ratio limitations in the floodplain. If you have land <br />in the 100-year flood plain, you cannot calculate that land. This upsets residents. <br />Ms. Waygan understands the frustration but that won't ever go out of zoning. There are some <br />extreme cases where you are in the floodplain completely or the majority. When you redo, it <br />must be built on stilts or pilings. The point might be moot, but we need a lesson. In the velocity <br />zone you are absolutely on pilings. <br />Mr. Fudala said their lot coverage at 25% is higher than for the rest of town with 20%. Many of <br />those houses were built before zoning, and grandfathering puts them applicable to 1959, but <br />those projects are subject to grandfathering, some of these homes predate zoning. The <br />Overlay was requested by the neighborhood to keep very large homes from being built, which <br />is why the height limit is 30ft. vs 35ft. <br />The Working Gorup would like to see tear downs tighten to current zoning regulations. Mr. <br />Malloy does not agree with the floodplain lot coverage calculations. He wants to tighten the <br />rules on drainage, the neighborhood is supportive of more permeable materials as opposed to <br />paved driveways. <br />5 <br />
