MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 28, 2018 The building has a broad front to prevent barking noises from being heard in the front and also prevents the dogs from hearing vehicles that are driving in. The reason he prefers the parking in the front so the dogs don't hear the cars which are on the property for a very short period of time, and the people bringing their animals into the facility have a relative short walk-way. There is two levels of fencing so the animals cannot escape. The only area that does not have that double level of protection is when a person takes their dog out of their car and brings their dog into the front door. This path is kept as short as possible, and easy as possible to bring their dogs in and out. Mr. Gould asked where the drainage basins are located, and the plan for waste removal. Mr. Learned said that dog waste is controlled through the sanitary system. The waste system is fairly complicated. The design of the system has two separate sewage laterals, one is for wet waste that is from the floor drains, the grooming area, and the trench drains which has urine water and dog hair.That drain line runs separately out of the building,goes through a hair trap,and protects the sewer system beyond. The solid waste is scooped inside the runs or outside and is flushed and goes directly to the septic system. The septic system is about 50% to 100% larger for a building of this size to accommodate for the additional waste. It's a very tried and true system. He said the Board of Health Agent addressed his concerns at Plan Review and the system is sized appropriately. Attorney Kirrane said that this project will be going before the Board of Health to discuss any issues they have. There are two drainage basins, one in the rear of the property, and one in the front which are both sized for 25 years, 24 hours and was approved by the Conservation Commission. Mr. Blaisdell asked about the 8 ft. buffer along Evergreen Circle. Attorney Kirrane said it was originally proposed to be stone block along the front, but indicated that it would not be part of the plan. Tim Sawyer the Architect with Brown Lindquist, Fennucio & Raber mentioned that the design of the building is such to break up the massing and create a more modern style building. The materials contain stone, clapboard siding, and painted trim. It's a fairly long front facade but the roof is broken up with a center massing,and two wings to break up the scaling as Scott mentioned earlier. The building is used to buffer the sound both from the street to the dogs. Chairman Furbush wanted clarification on the outdoor area and how many dogs in those areas. He wants to make sure that there will be no complaints from neighbors in terms of noise. 11
