Minutes of Meeting of Mashpee Plan Review Committee Held Tuesday, May 16, 2017 Mashpee Town Hall Waquoit Meeting Room Plan Review Members Present: Michael Mendoza , Building Commissioner John Phelan, Deputy Fire Chief Catherine Laurent, DPW Director Scott Carline, Police Chief Tom Fudala, Town Planner Wayne Taylor, Assistant Town Manager Michael Mendoza called the meeting to order at 9:05 a.m. 63 Mercantile Way Capewide Construction Requests a 6-Unit storage building 7,440 square feet Representative -- Matthew Eddy, Baxter Nye Engineering Attorney Kevin Kirrane addressed the meeting saying he is representing applicant Capewide Construction and he introduced Matthew Eddy of Baxter Engineering and Joao Junqueira, the property owner. Attorney Kirrane said what is being proposed in the industrial zone at Mercantile Way is a typical industrial use building. It is largely intended for dry storage. He said they have an application before the Board of Appeals for a storage facility and also for contractor bay use in the event a contractor came along that was compatible. He said Joao also is going to run his office from the site so his focus is largely that the tenant be involved in primarily dry storage. Kevin Kirrane said the lot is long and narrow so they are putting the building in the corner of the lot. Also, they are proposing that while typical parking is at rear and side of a building, they are requesting ZBA for authority to have parking in the front of the building. He said they think front of the building parking is better from aesthetic point of view and from a safety point of view. He said there are only 9 parking spaces that will be in the front. There will be one bathroom in the front of the building so it would make sense to have parking in the front rather than rear where there are overhead loading doors. It is a one story building for dry storage and potentially contractor bay use. It allows Fire Department access for fire protection.
