MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT Capewide Construction, Inc. (Owner of Record: Drywall Masonry Supplies, Inc. 53 Mercantile Way (Map 88 Parcel 86) Mashpee, MA 02644 SP-2017-32 This project went before the site-plan review committee and received a positive recommendation. A discussion was brought before site plan review regarding parking in the front of the building as opposed to the side and the rear which is typically the parking criteria in the zoning bylaw. However, under §t74-37 gives the Board the discretion to permit parking to be located other than the side and behind the building providing that the Board believes that the overall site and design is esthetically better and also improves safety concerns. The plan depicted the windows on the building to be considered for architectural esthetics and will also provide additional light. There will be six (6) bays, and depending upon the tenants,there might be more than one tenant interested in more than one bay. Chairman Furbush asked what the requirement was for parking, and if there is a dumpster with a fence. He also asked about the outside lighting. Attorney Kirrane said there are nine parking spaces provided including one handicapped space. There is a dumpster provided and most of the proposed lighting is on the front of the building. The building lights will be shielded. Building Commissioner, Mike Mendoza wanted clarification regarding the- windows shown on the plan and if there is an office for the company watching the building. Attorney Kirrane said there is no second floor on this building. Mr. Mendoza suggested that the handicapped parking space shown on the plan needs to be moved in front of the office section of the building, and will also need to be revised on the building plan. Chairman Furbush asked Joao what types of businesses will be in the spaces and if they will be renting them. Joao said they will be rented spaces, and there will be no landscapers or builders. There will be no outside storage of construction material. Attorney Kirrane said that he will return to the Board if there is a request for other uses made for anything other than what is requested today. Mr.Mendoza said a certificate of occupancy is required for each separate contractor bay if the business use changes. He read the bylaw that depicts the type of uses. Joao told the Board that he will install a bathroom in each bay but will not pour the floor until he has tenants. 2
