Minutes of Meeting of Mashpee Plan Review Committee Tuesday, August 18, 2020 Mashpee Town Hall Waquoit Meeting Room Tom Rullo: Tom had a discussion with Attorney Mills regarding the requirements of the Fire Department last week.Tom will have to review the sprinkler system, and he requires an affidavit from the sprinkler design company to encompass both sides of the building with the appliance store and convenience store. This would be part of the building permit process, as well as the construction of the partition wall. Tom asked the following questions; 1. Is there going to be food-prep? 2. What is the time-frame of the build-out for the convenience store? 3. Will there be a fire alarm system for the building itself? Tom suggested that the applicant have the fire alarm system reviewed by the alarm company because both the appliance store and convenience store fire alarm systems are currently tied together, and may need to be updated. These items need to comply under the building permit. Mr. Marichal said that his time-frame will be approximately 6-9 months for both sides of the building. There is no food prep being done. Charlie Maintanis: Charlie asked if there are apartments above the stores. During construction there's a protocol to maintain the alarm and sprinkler system throughout the entire construction to protect the residents. He would like to have a meeting with Attorney Mills and go over items that need to be addressed, and because this is a change of use, it will require controlled construction. Charlie will be looking at the level of alteration. Katelvn Cadoret: Kate said that the project thus far doesn't need review from Conservation, but if there is a septic system upgrade, and re-grading of the parking lot within 200 ft. of the Mashpee River toward the rear of the lot requires Conservation review. If there is additional exterior work, expansion of the building, or any ground excavation within 200 ft. of the Mashpee River requires Conservation review. Evan Lehrer: Evan stated for the record that the change of a pre-existing non-conforming use to a new non- conforming use is allowed under the Zoning Bylaws so long as the ZBA makes a finding that the new non-conforming use is not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the present or previous non-conforming use of the adult entertainment establishment. He noted that there are currently no substantial changes posted on the facade at this time, but in the future if there are plans for glazing or re-facing of the facade will require Design Review approval. Also signage will require an appearance and approval from Design Review for both the appliance store and the convenience store. Evan suggested that recommendations be made to the ZBA regarding Catherine Laurent's concerns, but all other recommendations and issues raised by the department heads are code related items that will be rectified under the building permit process. 3
