MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br /> MEETING MINUTES <br /> MAY 13,2020 <br /> Kevin said there are arborvitaes about 6 ft. tall within that 10 ft. buffer already. <br /> Charlie Maintanis said that the only issue he could see on the plan was the chicken coop. <br /> He had no further comments. <br /> Ron suggested the applicant could plant additional arborvitaes 20 ft. 22 ft. located in <br /> between the existing trees 23 ft. off the rear property line giving the abutter a 25 ft.setback <br /> that would provide a double row of trees, a fence, and a tree line with another set of trees <br /> that would fill in the space between the existing trees. <br /> Kevin said that his client is not willing to go beyond the 19 ft. setback. Mr. Kirrane said <br /> that space is reserved for parking of vehicles. <br /> The Board reviewed the drainage plan and the dashed line showing the gravel area. Ron <br /> mentioned that trees could be planted within that space and would still provide enough <br /> available parking. <br /> Kevin said that his client has.already planted 30 or so trees,and the impact that this lot has <br /> on its most immediate abutter is probably on the westerly side of the lot. His client has no <br /> interest going further into the lot area to plant additional trees. <br /> Chairman Furbush agreed with Ron but would like to see trees planted within that 19 ft. <br /> near the gravel area.Mr.Blaisdell agreed with Jon.He said that it's a very fair compromise. <br /> Sharon said she likes the second row of trees in the 19 ft. <br /> Attorney Senie said that he thanked the Board members who expressed additional <br /> plantings. He said it would be very helpful if he could see a landscape plan that would <br /> depict what will be the actual plan if the Special Permit is granted. <br /> Jonathan asked Attorney Kirrane if his,client could provide a revised landscape plan with <br /> the suggestions from the Board. Attorney Kirrane said that is not necessary because there <br /> have already been additional plantings. His client could supplement additional plantings <br /> within that 19 ft., but to spend more money on a landscape plan to show those arborvitaes <br /> is not necessary. <br /> The Board had a discussion about adding the row of trees to the existing site plan. Mr. <br /> Blaisdell suggested that it could be a condition. Attorney Kirrane said that his client does <br /> not accept that request. <br /> Attorney Senie said his clients also sought a more substantial privacy fence. He also asked <br /> for reasonable operating hours. He suggested 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through <br /> Saturday, and no work on Sunday and Massachusetts Holidays. <br /> 3 <br />
