MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br /> MEETING MINUTES <br /> JULY 23, 2025 <br /> Attorney Kirrane represented the applicant's request for a Written Finding. <br /> The dwelling is located in the Popponesset Overlay District. The Board is aware <br /> that the minimum lot area requirements are 6,000 square ft. The minimum front <br /> yard setback is 60 feet, minimum front yard 25 ft., minimum side and rear yard <br /> setback is 15 ft., and set back to wetland is 50 ft. The maximum building height <br /> is 30 ft., and lot coverage is 25%. <br /> The lot is not located in the any flood zones. However, there are a couple of <br /> nonconformities. The front yard setback is 21.3 ft. where it should be 25 ft. and <br /> the rear yard is 12.6 ft. where 15 is required. <br /> Attorney Kirrane said that the project involves lifting up the house, taking out <br /> the existing foundation, replacing it with a new foundation that will be code <br /> compliant, and putting the house back down. There are no changes to setbacks <br /> and there are no changes to lot coverage. The existing house is going right back <br /> on the foundation and is just being replaced in kind. <br /> Mr. Goldstein asked if the deck is being replaced on the front located on the <br /> water side. <br /> Attorney Kirrane stated that there is no expansion being proposed of any existing <br /> structures, and the deck is existing. <br /> Mr. Morris has no issues with the project. <br /> Mr. Ganzenmuller read the Conservation Department comments into the record. <br /> Mr. Goldstein questioned if the cesspool was being replace. Mr. Morris said that <br /> there are no additions to the house, and if there are any changes to the habitable <br /> space, it can be dealt with during the permitting process. <br /> Mr. Ganzenmuller read the Board of Health comments into the record and the <br /> septic is being upgraded to an IA system. <br /> Mr. Reidy read an abutter letter into the record from Rita Crowell. <br /> Attorney Kirrane stated that this application was filed under Section 174-17 for <br /> the Board's determination whether or not it's substantially more detrimental to <br /> the neighborhood than what currently exists. In this particular case, I think <br /> where we're not changing setbacks, and not changing lot coverage, and an IA <br /> system is being installed, and what will be a code compliant foundation are all <br /> positives to this project. <br /> 2 <br />
