Appeal No. 13-043:  Brian E. & Linda M. Miner, P.O. Box 575, Marlboro, MA  01752, c/o James M. Norcross, Esq., P.O. Box 707, Chatham, MA  02633, owners of property located at 671 Orleans Road, also shown on Assessors’ Book Page 12I as Lot 4.  The appellants propose to expand a nonconforming single family dwelling via the removal of an existing 80 square foot garden shed and the addition of a 240 square foot shed, 5 feet from the easterly lot line where a 25 foot setback is required.  The existing dwelling is nonconforming in that it is located 11 feet from the easterly lot line and 22 feet from the westerly lot line where a 25 foot setback is required and a guest cottage is located 20 feet from the westerly lot line where a 25 foot setback is required.   The property is nonconforming in that it contains 88 linear feet of frontage where 150 feet is required, and contains a main dwelling and a guest cottage where there is sufficient land for only one dwelling.  The property contains 40,108 sq. ft. in an R-40 Zoning District.  A Special Permit is required under Section V.B., Nonconforming Lots, Buildings and Uses, Enlargement, Extension or Change, of the Protective Bylaw.

The appellant is requesting the grant of a Dimensional Variance to construct a 32.33 foot by 6 foot covered front porch on the northeasterly side, 20.5 feet from the road where a 25 foot setback is required.  The lot and the existing dwelling are dimensionally conforming to the requirements of the Protective Bylaw for an R-20 Zoning District, therefore, because a nonconformity would be created by the addition of a porch within the required setback to a road, a Dimensional Variance is required under Section VIII.D.2.c., Zoning Board of Appeals, Powers, Variances, of the Protective Bylaw.  The property contains 20,649 sq. ft. in an R-20 Zoning District.

The proposed deck is located 20 feet from the easterly lot line where a 25 foot setback is required.   The building coverage will increase from an existing 18% (2,217 sq. ft.) to 20% (2,479 sq. ft.) where a maximum of 15% is allowed.
