MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES JULY t2,2017 73 Mercantile Way: Petitioner, Richard McCracken requests a Special Permit under § 174-25 (G) (6) and § 174-25 (G) (9) of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for construction of a 15 unit, 9,939 square foot boat storage building, and an outside gravel surface boat storage area on property located in an I-1 Zoning District, (Map 88 Parcel 94), Mashpee, MA. (Owner of Record: Suzanne Rogers). Attorney Kevin Kirrane represented the application for the prospective purchaser of the property located at 73 Mercantile Way. Also present was Mr. McCracken, Petitioner, Matt Eddy, with Baxter Nye Engineering, and Joao Junqueira, with Capewide Construction. The plot plan shows that the property is located in the I-1 Industrial Zone. The lot consists of 159,560 sq. ft. and has 300 linear ft. along Mercantile Way and abuts Great Hay Road which is an unapproved way on the south easterly section of the lot. This parcel will be serviced by public water supply and there is a proposed independent onsite sub -service sewage disposal system as part of the overall system of the site. This matter has gone before the Mashpee Plan Review Committee, and they recommended approval with the submitted plans. The applicant is proposing construction of a 9,939 sq. ft. industrial storage building which is typical of a number of buildings that have already been constructed in the Industrial Zone areas. The building will be separated into a maximum of fifteen (15) separate units as provided on the site plan. The building is also proposed to include a common restroom facility, handicap accessible on the northerly end of the building, and equipped with a sprinkler system -for fire safety. Each unit will have an overhead door to accommodate the storage of boats or vessels which is the intended use and is allowed under the bylaw. The applicant is also proposing outside storage that was highlighted in blue on the plan. There will be two size units in the building, and the outside bays will be consistently sized for the storage of vessels. It is a one story building with overhead doors large enough so they can accommodate these vessels and vessels on a trailer. The general criteria for special permit relief is set forth in section 174-24 (C). The Board. must determine that relief can be granted without adversely impacting health and safety concerns or creating excessive demand on community facilities, decreasing surface or ground water quality or air quality adversely affecting the environment, etc. The boat storage use will largely be used actively in the winter months because the owners will be using their boats during the summer months. Most of the activity in the facility will be during the winter months so the owners can maintain their boats. Attorney Kirrane also provided drafts of the possible boat loft condominium documents that were requested at the Plan Review meeting. Mr. Bonvie asked if there will be one association that will be handling this whole project. He asked if these condominium documents outlined any type of maintenance regarding drainage areas, i.e. rain gardens, etc. Mr. Bonvie requested this verbiage to be a line item in the deed. Mr. Bonvie would like to have the verbiage noted, i.e.: "a visual inspection shall be made in all bays." He wants to know who will inspect it. Mr. Bonvie would like the condominium documents reference to the Board's approval of a maintenance plan. 7
