Zoning board approves two property modifications, grants continuances on several hearings

Vice Chair Sharon Sangalia presided over the portion of the June 24 meeting that handled several zoning appeals and administrative matters, during which the board approved two applications with conditions and granted continuances for others.

9 Sanuit Lane (SP2025‑01): Attorney Brian Wall appeared for owner 9 Sanuit Lane LLC and described a modification to a previously granted special permit to demolish an unsafe dwelling, install a denitrifying septic system, and construct a new house shifted back from the pond with a covered northerly deck and a widened rear deck. The board reviewed lot coverage and setbacks — the approved lot coverage of 14.1% was described as increasing to 18.1% under the proposed modification (still under the 20% threshold) — and confirmed conservation had approved an amended order of conditions. Charlie moved to approve the modification with seven conditions (including reliance on specific stamped site plans and landscape/mitigation notes, building plans to be approved during the building permit process, compliance with town department comments including Board of Health and Conservation, and review under the tree bylaw). The motion passed on a voice vote.

386 Mashpee Neck Road: Attorney Christopher Karine represented owners John K. McCabe Jr. and Tracy Padulla McCabe and sought a written finding under the zoning bylaws to reconstruct decks, add a covered patio and remove a failing chimney on a pre‑existing nonconforming structure in an R3 district. Conservation and the Board of Health had provided conditions and comments; the board found the proposal was not substantially more detrimental and approved the written finding with conditions mirroring the stamped plans and departmental comments.

Continuances: The board granted continuances to July 22, 2026 for two items — 63 Monahassett Road (owners Steven H. and Andrea B. Dubs) and 14 Little Neck Lane (trustee of the Nij family revocable trust) — because conservation approvals remain pending.

Administrative: The board approved June 10 meeting minutes and closed the meeting after scheduling the next session.
