Reason for Decision:
Petition No. 1132
This was a request to the Board of Appeals seeking an addition
to an existing house. A plan was submitted to the Board indicating that
the property was located on the corner of Lorena and Andrina Road in West
Yarmouth. The proposed addition would be erected along Andrina Road and
would be 12' x 24*. It is noted that the addition when completed, accord-
ing to the sketch plan filed with the Board, would be eight feet from
Andrina Road.
It appeared at the hearing that the addition, although it was
not convenient and would involve relocating cesspools and relocating a
flagstono patio, could, in fact, be added to the rear of the building
without violating the zoning by-laws. In any event the Board feels that
the proposed addition is a substantial variance from the zoning by-law.
It is'noted that the local by-law requires a thirty foot setback and to
allow the petitioner an eight foot setback would, in fact, be a substan-
tial -derogation from the intent and purpose of the by-law. The Board is
also of the opinion that because of the substantial deviation from the
standards set forth in the by -lair that the public good would be adversely
affected by granting this request.
Therefore the appeal is DENIED.
