Minutes of Meeting of Mashpee Plan Review Committee Tuesday, January 19, 2021 Mashpee Town Hall Waquoit Meeting Room Tom Rullo, Fire Chief: • Confirmed that there is no change of use. • Confirmed that there are no storage of vehicles inside the building. • Confirmed that there are no chemicals being stored. • Alarm system is an older system, and may have complications with nuisance alarms. He suggested updating the system. • There is an existing fire alarm system in the building. • The front door opens going into the building, and should be corrected because it's a public safety issue. Also there's an Emergency Exist sign over that door. • A site visit to be arranged with the Fire Chief and Building Commissioner. Rodney Collins,Town Manager: Rodney suggested the Fire Chief and Building Commissioner do a site visit. Neal agreed to a site visit. Dave Morris, Building Commissioner: Dave has concerns with the parking situation. The property is located in a C-2 Zoning District, and in the Mashpee Overlay District. The bylaw requires parking to be located on the side of the building or to the rear, and the site plan shows 90% of the parking in the front. Dave said there's 15 spaces plus a handicapped space, and should be moved to the side or rear. The parking area needs to be paved prior to supplying extra overflow gravel parking. He said to refer to bylaw Section 174-24 11. He reiterated that the 15 parking spaces need to be on pavement to the side or rear of the building. Also, the building is located in the Historic District which means any color changes to the building or structural changes will require a meeting with the Historic Committee. Neal asked what was allowed from the previous business. Dave said he will review the previous permit. Mr. Collins commented that he had parked out front in the past, but was not sure if that was permissible or not, but a violation is another thing. Glen Harrington, Board of Health Agent: • There will be approximately six crew people and four office staff. • The existing septic capacity is 315 gallons a day per person is essentially for warehouse. He would like that shown on the plan so the proposed use will fit into the existing septic. The septic inspection was done, but the exiting use should be shown per Title 5 and show that it meets that use. Neal agreed. • The Fire Chief already went over that vehicles are not in the building. • The chemical storage is covered. There were no more issues. 2
