MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT Evergreen Energy, LLC 30 Evergreen Circle (Map 19 Parcel 10-3) Mashpee, MA 02649 SP-2021-31 Raul said that lot 8 which is (30 Evergreen Cir.) is directly abutting the lot that was just approved for Cape Cod Gutter Monkeys. The screening buffer will be situated along the front and side that faces Evergreen Circle, and Lot 7. The back side of Lot 8 will remain a natural vegetative buffer for about 25 ft. On Lot 3, which is (41 Evergreen Cir), will have the same screening, keeping the existing 15 trees in the front yard that is labeled "trees to remain", and there will be evergreen trees, as proposed for screening toward the back of the lot. At Design Review there was a request for a fence to be installed along the rear property line which is depicted on the site plan to keep the project from encroaching on the northern property. Attorney Kirrane said that Lot 7 is a vacant lot. The rear section of Lot 8 is the marijuana facility. A gate will be installed that is approximately 20 ft. wide, and will be locked at night. There will be 6 to 8 trucks, and some machinery. There will be nothing stored on Lot 8, but Lot 3 will have firewood logs, woodchips, and natural material from site work. Mr. Govoni said the rear corner has a drainage basin that was installed, and will be upgraded. Chairman Furbush asked if a gate will be installed at Lot 8,and if there is a dumpster stored in the rear corner of the lot. Raul said that Lot 8 had been graded and cut down, and the rear corner is the lowest point on the site. Currently there's a subsurface leaching pit, and that will be improved with a penetrated retention basin to provide treatment for the subsurface leaching. When the water level reaches about 12 inches, it drains into the subsurface leaching, and will be treated with the basin before it drains. Chairman Furbush asked if the vehicles will be idling anytime during the day or night, and if there will be lights installed. Mr. Govoni said that the vehicles are started up in the morning usually around 6:30-7:00 am, and they go right to work. There will be some lighting and cameras installed by an electrician. Attorney Kirrane said that there is nothing shown for lighting at this point, but will be installed at a later date. Mr. Govoni said that the material is brought to a plant to be processed. There is only one loader truck stored that will have this material. There is also an outhouse provided on Lot 3, as required by Board of Health. Chairman Furbush read the requirements under the Special Permit bylaws asking if there was any safety concerns. He is most concerned with any type of disturbance, noise, excess vibration, etc. on the sites. 2
