last week regarding the status of the egress winidow construction. On April 30, 2021,the <br /> owner stated that contractors are busy and can't give her a start date. Mr. Harrington <br /> stated that he declined the owner's offer to provide the contractors names and numbers <br /> if the he wanted to get in touch with them. That is the only update our office has received <br /> in a while. The septic has been completed and the owner is trying to get the basement <br /> bathroom and the egress windows going. Per Mr. Harrington, all of it should have been <br /> done concurrently, but that was the update that she provided. <br /> Chair Baumgaertel asked if a building permit had been pulled, and Mr. Harrington <br /> answered that a permit has not been issued for the bathroom or the egress windows, <br /> Chair Baumgaertel proposed to set a date by which a building permit needed to be issued. <br /> Mr. Harrington discussed what he thought the Building Department might need prior to <br /> issuing that permit, but stated that he did not know if the property owner had reached <br /> out to the Building Department as of yet. <br /> The Board discussed how difficult it is right now to get contractors, and Mr. Virgilio <br /> expressed his opinion that some have overextenided themselves. Mr. Harrington wasn't <br /> sure exactly what the Building Department requires, but mentioned what he thought they <br /> would need from the owner regarding a sketch of plans. Mr. Baumgaertel stated that it's <br /> possible the owner doesn't even have a contractor at this point and Mr. Harrington <br /> agreed. Mr. Virgilio expressed how difficult it is to get a permit now, in his opinion, with <br /> everything having to be done electronically., Mr. Harrington informed the Board that <br /> many permits are done this way. He further stated that, if someone called to discuss this <br /> address, we would make it a priority, as we do all requests that-pertain to violations. <br /> Board members discussed the timeline for the owner to acquire a building permit. <br /> There being no further comments or discussion, Kripani Patel motioned to set a 10-day <br /> period for the property owner at 545 Cotuit Road to get a Building Permit for the egress <br /> windows and the basement bathroom. Motion seconded by Ernest Virgilio. Roll call vote: <br /> Ernest Virgilio (yes); Kripani Patel (yes); Brian Baumgaertel (yes). VOTE: Unanimous (3- <br /> 0). <br /> I COVID-19 Update. Mr. Harrington commented that the following actions are completed <br /> or ongoing. Chair Baumgaertel advised that he could just report on the main issues. <br /> a. The Governor had changed the mask mandate guidance, we received many <br /> questions regarding it. The state did not update guidance until this week so we're <br /> in the process of going through that and getting back to people as we go through <br /> the guidance, <br /> b. We have been working with a lot of the businesses in Mashpee Commons. We <br /> have had a couple of complaints that did not have a lot of violations. <br /> c.
