MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 28, 201.8 Attorney Kirrane said that Holmes and McGrath provided a number of areas that snow can be placed. The hours of operation are 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, 7-days a week. The dogs are brought inside at 7:00 pm. There will be no staff overnight. Mike asked about the two phase construction and the time frame of each phase. There could be building code as well as fire code changes within that 3 to 5 year construction phase. If the Zoning Board approves the building for the first phase that would be under the current building code,but the codes could change within the time frame on the second phase. There might be an issue later on if the construction is delayed later on. Kailey pointed out that the rectangle front end of the building will be the first phase, and the rear section will be done within 3 to 5 years depending upon the growth of the business. Attorney Kirrane said that his clients would want to see the business grow and want to make sure they can operate the business efficiently and economically. Mr. Mendoza asked what the configuration is for the play yard. He wants the Board to understand what the building will look like between the two phases. Mr. Learned pointed out that most of his clients phase out the construction of these buildings. But he will comply with any code changes if necessary. Chairman Furbush asked if the building requires a sprinkler system. Mr. Mendoza said that the square footage does not mandate that at this time. Chairman Furbush read the Town Planner comments into the record regarding the parking in front of the building. Attorney Kirrane said that the Board has the discretion if the project is improved esthetically, and they agree, then the parking can be in the front of the building. The Attorney said his clients have a separate plan showing signage with"drop off and pick up only" in the front of the building. Attorney Kirrane said that either temporary drop off and pick up parking with designated spaces or if the Board prefers to have the second concept option that was shown. The second option could cause traffic issues. Mr. Mendoza wanted confirmation that the number of parking spaces were exceeded, and the employee parking is in the rear of the building. He asked if the parking spaces in the front are specifically used for dropping and picking up of animals. He mentioned that a vote was taken and documented at Plan Review to keep the original layout of the building because it is much more attractive, and showed the temporary parking spaces. 13
