13 Treasure Lane: The applicant requests a Written Finding under §174-17 in an R-3 Zone to allow for construction and alterations of an existing deck, sunroom, and kitchen expansion.

Mr. Steve Cook, owner of Cotuit Bay Design represented the Petitioners, Dan and Margaret O’Neill who own the pre-existing, non-conforming cottage that is situated to the right side of the 10,000 square foot lot, and has a close slopping drop off in the back yard. The existing structure has a wrap-around deck with an attached greenhouse in the rear. The proposal is to remove the greenhouse and add a kitchen addition with an interior stairway so the homeowners can access their basement and utilities. The proposal also includes to extend the deck ten (10) feet and follow the existing structure line but will be closer to the lot line 8.3 feet. The proposal requires a variance on the right side due to the typography of the lot. The existing lot coverage is 17.6% and they are requesting 17.8%.

Mr. Bonvie asked if “hats” are required on the bottom of the footings of the deck. Mr. Mendoza stated as long as the sono-tubes are a minimum of 10 inches. The “big foot” would only be required if there are engineering issues or soil conditions deem it necessary. Mr. Cook will set the beam back two (2) feet from the edge of the deck for clearance.

Margaret O’Neill, homeowner, said she spoke to her neighbor and they had no issues with the renovations.

108 Orchard Road: Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc., requests a Comprehensive Permit under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40B to allow for construction of a single-family home on property located in an R-3 Zoning District at 108 Orchard Road (Map 69 Parcel 18), Mashpee, MA. (Owner of Record: Town of Mashpee).

132 Quinaquisset Avenue: Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc., requests a Comprehensive Permit under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40B to allow for construction of a single-family home on property located in an R-3 Zoning District at 132 Quinaquisset Avenue, (Map 69 Parcel 6), Mashpee, MA. (Owner of Record: Town of Mashpee).

Mr. Bonvie stated he is working with Habitat providing his business services and asked the Board if he is required to excuse himself from the hearing. Mr. Blaisdell stated he does not believe there is a conflict of interest and the Board accepted.

Mr. Warren Brodie, Attorney representing Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod Inc., for the proposal. He stated Don Bracken, of Bracken Engineering Inc., and Bud Abbott on the Affordable Housing Committee, and Arden Cadrin, the Housing Coordinator for the Town of Barnstable, and a Member of Habitat’s Land Acquisition Committee.

Mr. Brodie briefly described the history of Habitat for Humanity that is included in the contents of the submittal package. The submittal is labeled with “Exhibit tabs” and includes the site plans, jurisdictional requirements, requested waivers, preliminary project pro forma, and development team and developer contacts for the project.

The Town of Mashpee and Habitat have a disposition agreement with the Town owned parcels at 108 Orchard and 132 Quinaquisset Ave. These sites were identified as appropriate for affordable housing in the Town and plan production which was approved by the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). On October 21, 2013, the Annual Town Meeting approved the designation of these parcels for construction of single-family homes under the DHCH and Local Initiative Program (LIP). These projects have been referenced as implementation of goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Affordable Housing Element.

The particular lot at 108 Orchard Road consists of 19,512 square feet slightly under a half acre. The lot is vacant and consists of a relatively level wooded area located in a single-family residential Zone 3 Zoning District. The project will adhere to all local State and local conservation regulations. This lot is not in a FEMA special flood hazard area. The site is mapped under the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) and Habitat is waiting for final determination that it is not considered a taking of State listed endangered species area.

Both sites have access to electrical service and town water and will be serviced by individual septic systems and will adhere to all State and local health regulations. Preliminary plans for the house to be built are under Exhibit B along with the required tabulations showing lot size, lot coverage, and open space, etc. The homes will be 3-bedrooms, one and one half bath homes with a full basement and ranch design to be easily adaptable for disabled members if needed. The applications were indorsed by the Board of Selectmen and the Affordable Housing Committee as shown under Exhibit C.

Both of the homes will meet or exceed the DHCD and LIP standards in terms of square footage, and other features. In addition to approval by the subsidizing agency, Habitat for Humanity is required to demonstrate that the development is consistent with local needs. It is simply a function of the percentage of affordable housing in the Town, and as of December 25, 2014, Mashpee had 298 affordable housing units out of its 6,473 year round units or 4.6%, which is shown in Exhibit C. The homes will be affordable to very-low income households earning at or less than 65% of area median income and Habitat will pre-qualify candidates according to its established criteria and conduct a lottery. Exhibit E in the submittal titled; Preliminary Project Pro Forma basically describes the costs of the material for construction of the two homes. Mr. Brodie concluded his discussion stating he anticipates to meet the goal to have 100 homes built on Cape Cod.

Mr. Bonvie asked if an applicant can make a single lot affordable under 40B. The Board was concerned of a developer making a single lot 40B, unless the lot is 100% affordable. Mr. Brodie confirmed that these proposed lots are 100% affordable.

Mr. Mendoza asked if there was a licensed contractor assigned to these homes. Mr. Brodie said not yet, but he will have a contractor assigned when applying for the building permit. Habitat provides qualified licensed contractors and workers compensation insurance.

Mr. Blaisdell addressed the waivers that are listed in the submittal under Exhibit D for 108 Orchard Road as follows:

  • A cash performance bond is required by the Board under §174-23 of $1,600.
  • Under §174-28, a licensed surveyor will certify that the plan presented to the Zoning Board of Appeals is compliant under the 40B.
Under §150-3, a bond would be required to the Board as advised by the DPW for $2,000 per property. This would cover any potential damage to the Town road from the construction of the cub cut for each house.

Mr. Blaisdell read the comments submitted by the Building Department as noted below that apply to 108 Orchard Road:

  • Prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, that there be placed language in the deed(s), that they shall maintain their affordability if sold in perpetuity.  The language should be reviewed by town council first and once approved, then a Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued.
  • Along with the issue of maintaining affordability of these locations, that the initial sale of the unit(s) shall be restricted to households earning no more than 65% of the median income of Barnstable County.  Resale of either locations shall be restricted in perpetuity to households earning no more that 80% of the median income of Barnstable County.
  • The Petitioner states that they shall select purchasers under the Local Initiative Program.  Not being familiar with the program, I would like to see that a current resident of the Town of Mashpee get first choice.  A local resident is defined as someone currently residing in the Town of Mashpee, currently employed in or by the Town of Mashpee, or attending school in the Town of Mashpee.
  • The Petitioner is responsible for the preparation and execution of any document that may be required by DHCD in order to have the home(s) included on the Town’s Subsidized Housing Inventory.
  • The Petitioner shall be responsible for recording this Decision with the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds and shall provide evidence of such recording to the Inspector of Buildings and the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Conservation Comments for both 108 Orchard Road and 132 Quinaquisset Avenue (Strawberry Ave.): “It’s not under the commission’s purview or jurisdiction if there are no wetlands present and I don’t believe there are any wetlands in that area. The property owners will indeed have to contact NHESP prior to any development as I’m sure they will have requirements/reviews that will be necessary, but it has nothing to do with the local commission in the absence of any wetlands”

Board of Health Comments for both 108 Orchard Road and 132 Quinaquisset Avenue (Strawberry Ave): “I have reviewed the proposal for constructing 2 3-bedroom dwellings on the above properties and I have the following comments:

Both properties are NOT located in Zone II so there is no restriction on number of bedrooms. A complete Title V septic design will need to be submitted prior to Building Permit issuance. A land surveyor’s stamp is required due to the project being new construction.”

DPW Comments for 108 Orchard Road: “The project would require a curb cut permit from DPW for the driveway and utilities. Per these permit requirements, at least the driveway apron will need to be paved.”

Mr. Blaisdell indicated the frontage required for 108 Orchard Road in the R-3 Zone is 150 feet, and the plan indicates 125.42 feet, so the relief would be 24.58 feet of frontage. The side and rear setbacks meet the criteria of the Zoning Bylaws. The lot size under zoning requires 40,000 square feet, this project indicates 19,512 square feet, the relief of 20,488 square feet. The lot coverage is 7.7%.

Mr. William Ebersold, an abutter who resides at 114 Orchard Road, is concerned that his shed is maybe located on the subject property and questioned the aerial photo.

Don Bracken, of Bracken Engineering Inc., stated the aerial photo is submitted by Mass GIS and is not always accurate. He has not surveyed the property, but if he does he will confirm the property lines, and everything that’s required for a building permit. It will be up to the neighbor to discuss this situation with Habitat. It is not up to the Zoning Board to handle this situation.

Mr. Bonvie made a motion to issue a Comprehensive Permit to Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc., under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40B to allow for construction of a single-family home on property located in an R-3 Zoning District at 108 Orchard Road (Map 69 Parcel 18), Mashpee, MA. (Owner of Record: Town of Mashpee). Referencing the conditions that were read prior to this statement.

Documented Conditions and waivers under this motion for 108 Orchard Road are as follows:

  • Required Lot Frontage is 150 feet, presented is 125.42 feet, required relief is 24.58 feet. There’s no relief required for side, rear or front. The lot size zoning requires 40,000 square feet, this project indicates 19,512 square feet, and relief is 20,488 square feet. The lot coverage is 7.7%.
  • A cash performance bond is required by the Board under §174-23 of $1,600.
  • Under §174-28, a licensed surveyor will certify that the plan presented to the Zoning Board of Appeals is compliant under the 40B.

132 Quinaquisset Avenue: Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc., requests a Comprehensive Permit under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40B to allow for construction of a single-family home on property located in an R-3 Zoning District at 132 Quinaquisset Avenue, (Map 69 Parcel 6), Mashpee, MA. (Owner of Record: Town of Mashpee).

Mr. Blaisdell stated to Mr. Brodie that he can present any differences for the 132 Quinaquisset Avenue application compared to the 108 Orchard property.

Mr. Brodie stated the difference is the lot is smaller. There’s a request for an access road/driveway to be treated as a private driveway, and will be paved to accommodate the homeowner, and potential fire and safety equipment access. The home does not have a street facing the home, and would not include the full wrap around porch as 108 Orchard. The architectural drawings are the same and the Exhibits are the same. The lot size is smaller, at 9,276 feet. The coverage is 16.2%, so no relief is required.

The distance from the corner of the porch is 29 feet, but removing the porch the distance will be 23 feet and 17 feet side setback relief will be required.

Mr. Bracken stated in his experience that Strawberry Avenue can be considered as frontage.
The relief would be to bring the road up to required standards.

Mr. Mike Paterno, an abutter that resides at 146 Quinaquisset Avenue, asked the Board about the waivers, the road frontage, fire and safety.

Building Department Comments for 132 Quinaquisset Ave. (Strawberry Ave):

It is the responsibility of the owner of 132 Quinaquisset Ave (Strawberry Ave), to maintain this road (snow removal, street repair, etc.)

DPW Comments for 132 Quinaquisset Avenue (Strawberry Ave.):

“The applicant is proposing a 12 foot wide paved “road” from Quinaquisset Ave to the property. I would consider this a driveway, not a road. As such, it would be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain this driveway, including plowing in winter. This driveway and utilities would also require a curb cut from DPW for the access onto Quinaquisset Ave. For emergency response purposes, as the property has been re-addressed, the house number should be placed in a location visible from Quinaquisset Ave.

If a “road” is actually proposed, the construction does not meet the minimum requirements for a road. Are these requirements something the ZBA can grant a waiver from or would Planning Board approval be needed under the Subdivision Control Law? If it is determined to be road and whatever waivers or variances are granted, I would ask the ZBA to impose as a condition of approval of these waivers/variances a requirement that the property owner maintain the road, including plowing in winter.”

Fire Inspector Comments for 132 Quinaquisset Ave: “I met with Leedara (a representative from Habitat for humanity) quite a few months ago, maybe up to a year ago to discuss access issues with 132 Quinaquisset Avenue. The issues were the width of the driveway and the ability for fire apparatus to turn around. Leedara agreed to make a tee turnaround at the end on the driveway closes to the house for fire apparatus, also the driveway will be 12’ signed Joel Clifford.”

Mr. Bonvie made a motion to issue Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc., a Comprehensive Permit under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40B to allow for construction of a single-family home on property located in an R-3 Zoning District at 132 Quinaquisset Avenue, (Map 69 Parcel 6), Mashpee, MA.
