Meeting Minutes Mashpee Plan Review Committee Tuesday, February 16, 2021 Mashpee Town Hall Waquoit Meeting Room Catherine Laurent DPW Director: Commented that there seems to be a lot more development on the subdivision than just these two lots. She questioned that there might be four lots being developed. Her concern is the tracking of material out onto the road. There is no apron or tacking pad shown as enter onto Evergreen Circle.There needs to be a defined entrance, a paved apron to protect the road from breakdown, and a tracking pad so when trucks are exiting the property any material is captured before it's brought out onto the road. She noticed on a rainy day a lot of dirty water was washing out into the drainage along the street, She requested a fence or barrier be installed along the rear property line on Lot 3 where it backs up to the Town property and to make sure there is no encroachment onto Town property, Glen Harrington, Board of Health Agent: The Board is going to require if there is any structure planned it should be done now.The existing leaching pit should be maintained so the Board will want a subsurface structure for the drainage basin to avoid ponding of water. The nitrogen uptake is important for a storm drainage basin but it's important to avoid ponding. He requested a manhole with a catch basin that goes to the leach pit so there is not any deep standing water for more than four days. If you could maintain those leach pits, that would appease the Board. Raul will discuss the issues with Lot 3 to the developer and make sure there is no encroachment of that abutting open space that is Town property. Raul said there is a leaching pit on both lots; Lot 3 has two leaching pits, and Lot 8 has one leaching pit. The proposal is to grade around the leaching pit and lower the grade on the perimeter of this new created low depression and to install stone chips to collect any debris or block any debris from entering the depression. The depression will be grass lined, and the inlet for the subsurface will be a foot above the bottom of this depression so any debris or sediments will settle on the basins and not directly into the leaching pits. The Town requirement is that there cannot be collection catch basin. There has to be some subsurface treatment in means of grass swales. A drainage report was submitted and it has a maintenance requirement, and we will expect that the developer will use to maintain the property. Thomas Rullo Fire Chief: He noticed that there has been a lot of activity working on trucks and cleaning vehicles. He is concerned that there is no permanent or mobile fuel storage on those lots. He noticed the wood piles, and he will have to review the State requirements for pile separation because he's concerned with the amount of fuel and what could happen if that catches fire and spreads into the adjacent woodlands. The same goes for any mulch piles. There's a distance requirement for mulch piles. Evan Lehrer Town Planner: He reiterated Catherine's point regarding debris entering the roadway. He had communications on this issue with Matt Costa at Cape & Islands Engineering, and the Property owner back in January. He requested a detail be added to the plan for the gravel surface sections that demonstrate minimum compliance under Section 174-41 of the bylaws with good compacted gravel material that is suitable for road base. He wants to make clear that at the most recent Town Meeting back in October, Section 174-41 which explains the minimum requirements for parking lot design were amended to require 12 inches not 8 inches specifically of dense graded crushed stone as a base surface. He made this clear to Matt Costa, and the property owner. But at the time, of the communication he is not certain if the Attorney General submitted approval of those warrant articles to the Town Clerk. He would want to make sure that the AG has submitted its approval on those articles, and that detail would need to be amended to demonstrate compliance under that bylaw Section 174-41. 2
