Matt Eddy briefly reviewed the proposed Site Pian: • Zoned industrial. • Lot is 1.76 acres and is currently undeveloped and wooded. • Existing utilities and public water will service site. • Single story building with both storage and contractor bays. • Building is 7,440 square feet with 6 bays proposed. • 9 parking spaces are provided; requirement for this use is 8 spaces. • Added small island in front of the building and augmented with landscaping—a couple of maples, white pine, and ground shrubbery. • Also maintaining buffers and vegetation where they can. • With parking in front they had some dialogue earlier with Tom Fudala and understand the ordinance about parking at the side and to the rear, but it does allow by the Special Permit grant authority to approve front parking based on aesthetics and safety aspects. • Looked at rotating the building. • Building will not be sprinkled. • Fence enclosure for dumpster is at rear of the property. • Proposing a septic system located to rear of the building. • Drainage—meets the Mashpee Zoning Ordinance requirements; also Mashpee storm water policy. Joao Junqueira said he is proposing a Steel Morton building with black roof; white walls and windows; black shutters; and white doors and white overhead doors. Matt Eddy commented that it is a single story building with windows for light and aesthetics. Comments/ariestions Scott Carline asked about employees and hours of operation. Mr. Junqueira said he has 6 employees and the hours of operation will be 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tom Fudala said the By-Laws say parking facilities should be side and rear of the structure. Tom said he doesn't think the parking improves the building aesthetically and doesn't improve public safety. He said there is no reason the building should be oriented the way the lot is oriented as other buildings in the industrial park. Tom said he doesn't see the justification for the ZBA over-riding the "shall be at side or rear of the building". Tom asked: What is the large gravel in the backyard for? Tom said it looks like a junkyard to him. Mr. Junqueira responded: You see my other property—no junkyard at back. Mr. Junqueira said he doesn't know what they will use that area for. Tom said if parking there, it has to be paved. Tom said we don't want pollutants in the ground water. Matt Eddy said there is parking area in front of the doors. Tom said I don't know that you can park and maneuver there at the same time. 2
