PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
NEW HEARINGS
Louis J. and Louise M. DiMeo Trustees: Request a Variance under §174-33 of the Zoning By-laws for setback relief from water and wetlands to allow for a deck expansion as defined by MGL C 131, §40 on property located in an R-3 Zoning District at 5 Compass Circle, (Map 105 Parcel 260), Mashpee, MA.
Mr. Louis DiMeo representing himself stated he presented his application to the Conservation Commission for the pool deck expansion and after speaking with Mr. Morgan, he suggested Mr. DiMeo meet with the Zoning Board of Appeals. He and his wife Louise purchased the home with the pool two years ago. He stated there’s a two foot wall that aligns the pool facing the ocean. There’s a seat inside the pool that is only two feet below the water line, and when anyone gets out of that seat, it’s very dangerous to step out and walk along the ledge because it’s very narrow and he’s concerned for his family’s safety.
Mr. Furbush asked what the proposed dimensions were for the deck extension. The proposed plot plan depicted the patio addition, retaining wall and steps are 291 square feet. The wall is currently two feet wide and three feet high, and the pool is 31 feet long. Mr. DiMeo stated he is proposing to extend the deck four feet, so it will be a total of 6 feet.
Mr. Jodka read the comments submitted by Drew McManus, Conservation Commission into the record; “Mr. DiMeo’s project at 5 Compass Circle was approved at the hearing dated Thursday, May 22, 2014. No issues.”
Mr. Reiffarth read the comments submitted by Glen Harrington, Board of Health into the record; “No comments from the BOH are necessary regarding the deck at 5 Compass Circle.”
There were no abutters present and no questions from the other Board members.
