MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES MAY 22,2019 Mr. Bonvie was most concerned with the ownership of the driveway and/or roadway. He said that Charlie Rowley mentioned in his letter that it meets local and State highway criteria in the design and/or a subdivision road. In the application, there's mention of condominium ownership, and to have that driveway be a common area with no need of easements, etc. Mr. Bonvie asked if the applicant would be willing to discuss the application to Charlie Rowley. Mr. Brodie said; yes, it's just lines on the ground to create that right of way and have the ownership of that in the homeowner's association. Mr. Bonvie asked the applicant if he feels confident and willing to sit down with Mr. Rowley and comply with his request, and modify the plans to meet his request. Mr. Reedy said; yes as it pertains to the roadway. Mr. Bonvie asked if there was anything in the letter that they felt they would not be able or not willing to comply with. Mr.Reedy said after reviewing Mr. Rowley's detailed site review letter dated May 7,2019, his proposed changes to the drainage facilities will accomplish the same goals. Mr. Reedy said his method is a stone and grass swale to collect debris. Mr. Reedy said instead of having a leach pit in the lower area that has a grade, it would have a closed cover and the pipe would run directly to it. Mr. Bonvie asked if there would be a problem if the Board saw in its wisdom to approve the application with the following;"that it would be subject to Charlie Rowley's approval". Mr.Reedy said that it might be that Charlie Rowley was not looking at the existing drainage facility that is also on the site plan within the road layout. There is an existing drainage facility that the DPW mentioned in their comments.Mr.Bonvie asked if they did a drainage study. Mr. Reedy said yes. The calculations are for a 25 year storm. The main difference between Charlie Rowley's plan and the proposed plan is that the proposed drainage facility will also allow for collection of ground surface of water that is not just on the paved surface. The DPW is concerned about protecting the drainage facility. The proposal is to limit the amount of work around the property line to ensure there are no erosion issues during construction. But they also want to provide some storm water solutions in addition to what is on the pavement so they can collect some of the storm water that will naturally run down the site. Mr. Bonvie asked if the Board saw fit to approve the application with a condition noted that states; that you will meet with Charlie Rowley and between the two of you and your team that would satisfy his concerns; would that be acceptable. Mr. Reedy and Attorney Brodie said; yes. Chairman Furbush likes the project but there's concerns with Charlie Rowley's report. 6
