MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 27, 2015 MINUTES 117 Industrial Drive: Clipper Landscape requests a Special Permit under §174-25 (G) (13) to allow for construction of a 6,240 sq. ft. commercial building and utilized by a landscape company on property located in an I-1 Zoning District: Assessor's Map 88 Parcel 29-0-E, Mashpee, MA. Owner of record: Town of Mashpee (EDIC). Mr. Furbush pointed out that Associate Member, Scott Goldstein is stepping down because he is an abutter which leaves only four Board members and would require all four members to vote positive. The Board is also concerned that the engineering plans be reviewed by a consultant who represents the Town. This is a concern that has been discussed at previous hearings upon receiving prior commercial/industrial applications. Mr. Bunker addressed the Board and said that Charlie Rowley reviewed the preliminary plan at the Plan Review Meeting. Mr. Steve Haddad, Builder representing the applicants introduced Mr. Tom Bunker at BSS Design, and the owners of Clipper Landscape Design, Mike Szarlan, and Dan McLaughlin. Mr. Haddad said that Clipper Landscape currently has their business in Falmouth, Ma. They purchased the Mashpee property from EDIC and expect to expand their business to thirty employees during the summer. He provided an extensive site plan depicting the building design, landscape features, and • the turning radius. He also provided pictures of the landscape equipment and material that will be used for their business. There will also be snow removal equipment during the winter months. The hours of operation will be approximately 6:15 am in the morning until 7:15 pm, with employees arriving to pick up and return equipment. The driveway will be designed to avoid truck backup alarms so not to disturb the abutters. The business will not be conducting any retail business onsite except for an occasional customer to conduct contractual business. There will be stationary storage bins onsite filled with landscape material. The dumpster will be moved according to the Board of Health requirements. The business owners do not own a chipper shredder and occasionally rent this equipment to reduce yard waste. The Board of Health approved the septic design and tight tank with alarms. Any water runoff is captured into a detention bio-swale. The roads will be paved as requested by the Fire Department. The DPW requires a curb cut or Cape Cod berm. M
