He said they met with both Glen and Tom for a short basis. Mr. Aucoin presented the following comments: ' • Proposing under 10,000 square foot building with a little over 50 parking spaces. • Facility not a public skating rink. It is educational because they are using it strictly for training purposes. • Hockey training educational rink limited to 10 seats...not open to the public. Strictly for hockey training with parents dropping off the kids and then picking them up when done. • Building is 110X80; it would probably be one-half rink size. • Going to be a long-term project. • Walter Yarosh asked: Will they sell rink space because it could be $18,000 per month for electricity to run the facility? Would they consider enlargening the rink and make it open to the public? Mr. Aucoin said they probably will consider that. Glen Harrington noted that Barnstable is opening twin rinks (one in July and one in October) and rink and ice time will not be a problem when that's done. • Tom Fudala noted that educational facilities are not allowed in this zone so it needs zoning change. Tom added they are thinking of proposing zoning changes in industrial uses and that may be proposed in October Town Meeting and the change may add this type of use to industrial zones. • Tom Fudala said they have to go to Cape Cod Commission due to building size. • Mr. Aucoin asked whether or not nonprofit status affects zoning? Tom Fudala said specifically indoor recreation facilities are not allowed. Charlie Maintanis commented that while it seems the harder way to go it does make more sense to change zoning because in the future they might want to change what's allowed so it makes more sense to do it up front.
