MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 13, 2025 8 Nehoiden Road: Owner, Edward J. Farley requests a Written Finding under §174-17 of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for construction of a second floor addition to the existing house, a deck to the easterly side of the existing house, add a roof over the stoop at the front of the existing house, and a detached garage with an (ADU) Accessory Dwelling Unit above on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, Map 125, Parcel 123, Mashpee, MA. Attorney Christopher Kirrane stated that this project was before the Board at the last hearing and there were two items to address. There was some confusion about the public hearing notice because it had not sufficiently described all the proposed alterations to this property; specifically the garage with the ADU. The ADU specifically isn't under the jurisdiction of the Zoning Board. However, there is a structure proposed that should be included in the Written Finding of the public hearing notice. The second issue was the storm water management. Mr. Raul Lizardi-Rivera, from Cape Islands submitted the drainage calculations. He was not present at the hearing, but could be available if needed. The project consists of some additions to the existing dwelling. The non- conformities only exist because of the flood zone. The property is 100% lot coverage, and cannot meet the 50-ft setback from wetlands. But the existing structure and the proposed structure will meet all other dimensional setbacks. The project will comply with the side yard and rear setbacks. Although there is no rear yard setback because the property fronts two roads. So the front yard setbacks comply for both the proposed structure and the existing structure. The lot coverage is 100%, but is well under the 20% building coverage which would otherwise be required in the R3 Zoning District. The Board of Health comments dated August 11, 2025 were read into the record; "Septic is designed for three bedrooms,floor plan shows three bedrooms." The Conservation Department comments dated August 12, 2025 were read into the record. "Notice of intent application was approved due to proposed location of addition and ADU altered areas and no disturbance to native vegetation will occur for construction." 5
