The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General. Laws Chapter 40A §6 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Public Hearings were held on the Petition at the Mashpee Town. Hall on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals sat in on this hearing; Chairman, Jonathan Furbush, Vice Chairman, William Blaisdell, Board Members, Ron Bonvie, Dom DeBarros, and Scott Goldstein. Attorney, Brian Wall represented the homeowner to re-establish the Written Finding that was previously granted but lapsed because it went beyond two years. He provided a revised plan that shows a change in the shape of the dwelling by removing one of the porches. Mr. Wall said that it is approximately 2/3rds less than the original design. Attorney Wall said that the existing structure is within the 50 ft. buffer of the wetlands and that's the reason for the Written binding under Section 174-17 which allows for an alteration or change to a preexisting,non-conforming structure.The non-conformity is not getting any greater because there is nothing being built closer to the wetlands, and the porch is being built in the back of the existing structure. The Board had a discussion about the proposed deck being built below the flood plain elevation. Attorney Wall said it's a pre-existing, non-conforming structure and the proposed screened porch is well below the 50% of the appraised value. 1
