14 Board of Selectmen Minutes August 27, 2018 Review of Draft October 15, 2018 Annual Town Meeting Warrant: (continued) Article #10: Zoning Bylaw to limit the number of Marijuana Retailers and the location of Marijuana Establishments. Mashpee currently has (9) retail off-premises alcoholic beverage licenses. Twenty percent (20%) of the (9) licenses is L8. This would presently equal (1) location for the Town of Mashpee to allow the siting of a marijuana retailer. If the number of off-premises sale of alcoholic beverages should change, the number of allowed marijuana retailers would also change. In concern to the Mashpee schools, Mary Waygan requested a buffer zone be considered for the siting of a retail establishment. In response, Evan Lehrer stated there is a mandated 500' buffer zone from the schools. A colored map would detail the proposed commercial/industrial areas, and locations of the schools. The proposed Bylaw amendment would restrict a Marijuana establishment use to the Commercial (C-1, C-2 or C-3) or Industrial (1-1) Districts upon issuance of a special permit. The article was HELD for additional clarification. Article #11: This Bylaw amendment would establish the penalties for violating the Sign Bylaw. An amendment to the draft article would impose a fine per sign for the second, third and subsequent offense to enforce fairly and consistently. Currently,there are no penalties for violating the Zoning Bylaws regarding signs. The article was HELD pending a recommendation from Town Counsel.
