over 30 acres of land, a Cape Cod Commission DRI filing is triggered. A Chapter 40B filing with the Zoning Board will be required for the residential development. It is suggested to propose a hypothetical Phase I, plot building and produce a plan, layouts and renderings. An ENF (MEPA) is also triggered. A groundwater Discharge Permit is required because of the septic flow for the residential development. Chapter 40B does not provide any relief from State Regulation. The DPW recommended that heavier pavement courses be provided for the road because of the proposed industrial uses. All lots should be accessed from the proposed road only, not onto Route 130. Information on drainage and a maintenance plan for the drainage is also required. A 3" -31/2" base course with 2" top course is suggested. The Planning Board has discussed with the Applicant about providing an emergency road connection to Echo Road; but at the Site Plan Review Meeting, the fire chief wants this connection to be constructed as a road. It should not be gated and not limited to emergency access only. Concurrent filings with the Cape Cod Commission and for the Chapter 40B development are proposed. The latter will require a letter of support from the Selectmen. The applicant is looking for comments on the Road, turn around, front (Route 130) commercial lots, and individual lots. The Planning Board will submit findings to the Cape Cod Commission. Comments from the police department and water district should also be obtained. 17 Cape Drive Cape Cod Appliance Owner Robert Sullivan - Thomas Sullivan Engineer- Yankee Survey Attorney - John Holmgren Property zoned C2 The applicant is seeking to build a 2-story, 6-unit office building with paved parking area. The building will be constructed with a shingled roof and siding. One unit will be occupied by Cape Cod Appliance for an office. No repairs will be performed in the building; all repairs are completed in the customer's home. Greg McDoogle addressed the drainage issue on Cape Drive. All drainage from the proposed development will be kept on site; a drainage swale is proposed off the rear parking area. A low berm is proposed across the entrance to prevent runoff from Cape Drive from flowing onto the property. Cape Drive itself is a private road. The Committee suggested that the applicant contact the other owners on the street to address the drainage problems as the catch basins are not functioning correctly and/or do not have sufficient capacity. The Board of Health recommended recalculating the office square footage, eliminating utility or common areas within the building; the current square footage exceeds that allowed on the property for nitrogen loading. There might be fire truck considerations to reach the 3rd story on the rear of the building with walkout. Recommendations: ZBA Special permit, design review for signage and landscaping. Parking looks adequate to meet requirements.
