The May 15 meeting of the Mattapoisett Zoning Board of Appeals included a Special Permit Application filed by Mike and Elizabeth King for property located at 84 North Street. The agenda item reads, “Case #1563: Petition of Micheal and Elizabeth King, Wyandotte Farm… request to seek a special permit for a Farm to Fork Stand and Farmers Market.” But prior to the meeting, King was advised that a Variance not a Special Permit was required on the advice of the town’s legal counsel.
In a follow up, King said there had been some confusion but had been told a Special Permit was needed not a Variance. He asked for and received a postponement to allow for further clarification in this matter before filing anything further. The new date was scheduled for June 26.
In other matters, a request for a Variance solicited by Timothy and Shyana Fisher, 4 Mattakiset Road was granted. The applicants’ plans include the removal an existing garage and shed.
North Eastern Trade Service, on behalf of Nancy Griswold, 5 Bay Road, filed a Special Permit request for the construction of a master bedroom above an existing garage with no outward expansion. The request was granted.
A Special Permit filed by James DePierre, 20 Cove Street for the construction of a new home on a flood compliant foundation was granted. Also granted was a Special Permit requested by George Luber, 13 Waterman Street to elevate an existing home.
Representing Alexandra Ablon, 4 Island View Avenue was David Davignon of Schneider Davignon and Leone for a Special Permit to construct a breezeway and garage addition to a single-family dwelling. The garage will become an accessory dwelling unit. The permit was granted.
The next meeting of the Mattapoisett Zoning Board of Appeals is scheduled for June 19 at 6:00 pm in Town Hall.
