Chairman Waygan recommended the project proponent contact the DPW Director regarding possible signage that would alert drivers to children being present. Mr. Lehrer confirmed that the signage on the rear of the building approved by the Historic District Commission would measure 30 inches x96 inches. Mr. Lehrer indicated that he would draft Modification #2 for consideration at the next meeting. There was no public comment. Mr. Lehrer stated that it had been a pleasure working with the project proponents and Mr. Lovely responded that Mr. Lehrer had been helpful throughout the whole process. Mr. Rowley referenced a plan to be developed to show items that needed to be addressed. Mr. Rowley had visited the site, approximately in December, with Mr. Lovely. At that that time, there was discussion regarding the drainage at the corner of the building in relation to the children. Mr. Lovely stated that the playground was being relocated to the hill at the site of the-proposed second building, where approximately 1,500 square feet would be fenced in with a four foot tall fence. The new plan was submitted and was part of the package, though Mr. Rowley had not been in receipt of the package. Mr. Lovely confirmed that they met in December when there was discussion about placing the playground adjacent to the building. Mr. Lovely indicated that additional engineering was needed which they would consider in the future and Mr. Lehrer confirmed that Mr. Lovely would return with the engineering for a change to the permit. The Chair inquired whether Mr. Rowley wished to review the packet any further and Mr. Rowley responded that he did not have an issue with the use. Mr. Rowley referenced the other plan, stating that during his inspection, he noted broken curbing in the upper area of the center island in the parking area. The contractor installed an aluminum cover measuring three feet by three feet, extending into the driving aisle. Mr, Rowley expressed concern about whether it was a suitable design for wheel loads and questioned its presence. The plan showed two manholes in the island but not a square cover in the line of traffic. Mr. Rowley expressed concern without knowing the details of the cover, particularly with traffic circulating. Mr. Lovely confirmed that it was work completed by Robert Our for the condo association, adding that it was completed through Mashpee's Board of Health, to install a vault for wastewater treatment. Mr. Rowley suggested that it was an inappropriate cover for a driving aisle that would need to be addressed. Mr. Lovely would convey the information to the Condo Board, acquire information from Robert Our and forward the information to the Planning Board. Mr. Lehner recommended that the Special Permit Modification be made conditional to complete the work to allow the teachers to meet their State deadlines. The Chair inquired about deadlines and Ms. Haley responded that the State would visit in July and issue approval in August. The Chair suggested continuing the Public Hearing in case a condition was needed on the Special Permit Modification. Mr. Lovely asked why it could not be done this evening and the Chair responded that there was insufficient technical detail. Mr. Lovely suggested that if it did not meet engineering standards, they could replace the cover with a steel plate and submit the correct cover. Mr. Rowley wished to see the details of the installation if the Board of Health was in possession of the plans, in order to make a report to the Board to be part of the Public Hearing. Mr. Rowley recommended that the information be gathered prior to the Public Hearing. Chairman Waygan noted that requests to change a Special Permit was the time when the Planning Board could ensure conditions were being met. Board members encouraged Mr. Lovely to gather the necessary information for Mr. Rowley and Mr. Lehrer before the next meeting so
