MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br />MAY 25, 2016 <br />MINUTES <br />Mr. Mendoza stated that he had spoken with the Building Commissioner in Natick, and <br />said Tesla has a special permit from the ZBA as well as from the Planning Board, Mr. <br />Mendoza stated that his position is that the applicant requires a Special Permit because this <br />use would require a license, insurance, and to be able to sell a vehicle would require a Class <br />1 license from Board of Selectmen. In his opinion, this use is not listed under the original <br />special permit and feels that the Zoning Board has to determine if this falls under a special <br />permit or not. The Zoning Board of Appeals also has the ability to keep this special permit <br />exclusively for Tesla and is not transferable. <br />Attorney Ford said that he reviewed the 40 plus decisions issued by the Board of Appeals <br />and could not find anything that suggests the sales of automobiles was contemplated. The <br />main reason for the proposal is to get some direction for this project to get done. He <br />anticipates the filing would be a very narrow special permit for just the use. This is not a <br />dealership. He asked the Board if there's an issue applying for the license with the Board <br />of Selectmen, and special permit with the ZBA at the same time. He said he would plan <br />that the licensing hearing came after the Board's decision, so the licensing board had the <br />benefit of the ZBA special permit. <br />Chairman Furbush agrees that the application would fall under F2 of the Zoning Bylaws <br />and would require a Special Permit. The other Board members agreed with Chairman <br />Furbush. The Chairman stated that he would like to see the plans with all the specifics <br />listed, especially where the charging stations will be located. <br />Mr. Mendoza said that he issued a building permit for the unit to show a vehicle and will <br />be issuing a certificate of occupancy by the end of the week. <br />Mr. Feronti said that the charging spaces will have to be located near an electrical source. <br />Attorney Ford, Mr. Feronti, and Mr. Renz thanked the Board for flaking the time to discuss <br />the Tesla proposal. <br />Approve May 11, 2016 meeting minutes <br />Mr. Gould made a motion to approve the meeting minutes.
