Minutes of Meeting of Mashpee Plan Review Committee Held Tuesday, September 18, 2018 Mashpee Town Hall Waquoit Meeting Room Glen Harrington, Health Agent asked if there is another dog training facility in the building, and if it would be similar with an inside and outside area. Christi said there's a dog day care in the building, but she only has one unit that is 25 ft. wide. The outdoor area is approximately 25 or 30 ft. The outside area is for the dogs to relieve themselves and for outdoor play. Glen asked if there would be overnight dogs: Christi said occasionally, but has client's that might want her to keep their dog. She said she does not want to continually allow this option, but might offer this service for puppies. Glen has concerns with overnight stays unless there are employees working different shifts, and cannot allow someone residing there. Even as an overnight working area it is difficult, and he would prefer to see shift workers. Also, the kennel would have to be approved by the Board of Health,which requires a filing with the Board because they would make a recommendation to the Clerk's office to issue a license. Glen asked how the dog waste will be disposed. Christi said she would get her own dumpster. Glen said the next Board of Health meeting is September 27, 2018, Evan Lehrer, Town Planner had no questions or comments. Jack Phelan, Deputy Fire Chief had a photo of the building. Christi pointed out that the. location is the end unit of the building in the rear. Mr. Phelan requested that two carbon monoxide detectors be installed on each level. He also wants the owner/landlord to provide an updated alarm test certificate that's dated less than one year old. It was not functioning the last time he inspected. Mr. Mendoza told the applicant that she will require a life safety inspection by the Building Department and Fire Department prior to moving into the space. Christi mentioned the back is already fenced on one side; she asked if she could install contractor petitions that are 8 to12 ft. long and 6 ft. high to make an "L" shape, between Unit 9 and Unit 10, Mr. Rodney Collins, Town Manager asked Christi if she will maintain the walking-path and scoop after the dogs. She said; "yes". Mr. Mendoza said the "use" falls under the 2012 Special Permit, but recommended an informal meeting with the Zoning Board of Appeals to see if this application requires a formal meeting to revise the Special Permit. Mr. Mendoza reiterated that the space needs to be inspected by both the Building and Fire Departments. Life safety is important, and requires them to check the fire alarm systems, emergency lights, fire extinguishers, lighted exit signs,and egress doorways which should be on the building owner.The'building would require two fire extinguishers to be installed in the front and rear. Christi said she doesn't want to sign.a lease until she knows this is done. Mr. Mendoza said this is an informal meeting, so no vote is required. 2
