Minutes of Meeting of Mashpee Plan Review Committee Held Tuesday, May 21, 2019 Mashpee Town Hall Waquoit Meeting Room The applicant said; no. Glen was concerned that there will be no dumpster, and wanted to make sure that there is a licensed hauler for the waste. He asked if the product will be prepackaged, and if there will be processed packaging. The _ applicant said there will be no processing of the product other than what is pre- packaged and given to the consumer. Glen had no other concerns. Charlie Maintains, Building Inspector He asked if the applicant knows the AAB requirements for the medical facility parking. Raul said that the use has been determined for retail. Charlie wanted to know if there was a different requirement for the medical use. He said that he reviewed the plan and it looks like there is one space used on the medical side. It looks. like there are two for medical and three for the retail, and one of the handicapped spaces is being shared in the front right of the building. Raul said there are four proposed handicapped spaces,two for the medical, one for the main customer, and one for employee parking. Charlie asked if the proposed number of accessible spaces is for the total buildings combined. The required number of accessible spaces is actually three for the two units. He did not have any further questions. Evan Lehrer Town Planner He had the same concerns about the traffic cueing on Echo Road. He asked if there were any changes to the fencing around the perimeter, particularly around the gate house. He wanted to know if the security guard access will be open. Raul said while the security guard is there the gates are open.There will be an arm gate that will remain down on the exit lane on the far left of the property. Evan asked if the arm gate is a statutory requirement. Raul said that the gate will only activate when a vehicle is approaching to exit. Chief Carline said he is a strong supporter of that gate. Evan said there are repeat comments regarding the side of the building being displayed along Echo Road, and the 15 parking spaces along the front side of the building. Raul said that there are 49 required spaces, and they are proposing 71; there are 22 extra spaces. Evan said that he would be supportive of maintaining the existing spaces for the medical dispensary on the right side of the site, and retaining some parking in the front specifically for handicapped access. Evan asked if the parking can be satisfied on the left side of the building if the massing of the building were shifted to the short side of the building. Can the building be shifted 90 degrees? Raul said there is a minimum 50 ft. setback to the rear property line. The front setback is 75 ft., and the proposal is for 81 ft. Evan said he's concerned about the handicapped parking. Charlie said that handicapped spaces are supposed to be accessible closest and safest to the entrance. He said there is no entrance on the west side of the building. Raul said that the employees can access the building in the front. Evan mentioned that the existing building had employee parking to the rear, and is now shifting toward the lot on the left side of the structure. Charlie suggested that those parking spaces should be close and used by disabled individuals purchasing retail as listed in the AAB code. -- 3
