Minutes of Meeting of Mashpee Plan Review Committee Tuesday, July 11, 2017 Mashpee Town Hall Waquoit Meeting Room Catherine Laurent, DPW Director mentioned that in the past there were issues with vehicles parked on either side of Bowdoin Road, and she wouldn't want that to happen during their business hours. She asked Mr. Frayre what his plans were for advertising that may encourage others to stop. She said the parking situation will have to be monitored to make sure that it doesn't become an issue for traffic flow. Mr. Frayre said that he uses social media for advertising. He said that Botello's employs over 100 people, and there are surrounding businesses in the back area including Bosun's Marine. He said on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays he would put his mobile concession at different events at other places around the Cape. He said his core business hours is Monday through Thursday at Botello's. He said that he knows that there can be congestion especially with the big boats going in and out of Bosun's. There will only be a sign next to the trailer. Nothing on Rt. 28. Glen Harrington, Health Agent said Mr. Frayre is all set with the mobile food permit. There are no other issues at that location. Glen said that under the General Bylaws the Town requires all hawkers and peddlers licensed which is allowed through the Department of Safety in Boston. He has met the General Bylaws criteria. Tong Fudala, Town Planner said the only issue he has is that there is no provision in the Zoning Bylaws for this sort of business. The section he could see that would match is "outdoor dining" as an accessory use to allow eating which is more for restaurants, but this particular application is mobile. The Zoning Bylaws do not have a clear indication of this type of application. The Board had a conversation regarding the specifics of restaurant establishments with outdoor dining and that Botello's would require a ZBA Special Permit for a restaurant if they wanted to establish a food permit. There's also the concessions at the area beaches. Mike Mendoza, Building Commissioner asked if there will be tables outside. Mr. Frayre said that Botello's might put a picnic table outside for their employees to sit while eating. Fire Chief, Rullo said a permit for the propane will be required by the Fire Department and a Fire Extinguisher. Mr. Frayre said he will do that and he already has an extinguisher.
