Mashpee ZBA allows small plunge pool at 279 Monomoy Road; lot coverage remains below 20%
Summary
The board approved a minor modification to special permit SP 2024-04 for 279 Monomoy Road on May 13, 2026, allowing an 8x14 plunge pool within a patio; the change raises lot coverage from 18.4% to about 18.7% and was supported by MassDEP and local boards.
The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals on May 13 approved a minor modification for 279 Monomoy Road that permits an 8‑foot by 14‑foot plunge pool to be situated within an existing patio footprint. Applicant Patrick Dale, trustee for the property, told the board the change increases lot coverage from 18.4% to 18.7%, keeping the parcel under the 20% threshold set by local zoning. He said MassDEP issued a superseding order of conditions on Dec. 12, 2025 reflecting the revised scope.
The Conservation Department submitted a notice of intent approval for the parcel and the Board of Health returned no comment; the applicant noted the pool would be inside an existing raised patio and that the requested modification is a minor plan change. No members of the public spoke in opposition. The board closed the public hearing, moved and seconded a motion to allow the modification and recorded ayes; the clerk signed the paperwork and the applicant was excused.
The modification was processed as a minor adjustment to an existing special permit (SP 2024-04) and does not change the underlying permit conditions beyond the limited plan change described.
