MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS OCTOBER 22, 2014 • MINUTES The Board requested an updated plan at the last hearing with the corrected dimensions and mentioned in the October 8, 2014 meeting minutes. Mr. Mendoza asked if the gate could be installed with a lock box approved by Police and Fire prior to the winter. He said it would be beneficial to have this done prior to a frost and not delay any other issues during the upcoming meetings. Mr. Kirrane said this would not be a problem. Mr. Rowley wanted to discuss Item 8 and 9 of his detailed letter regarding the surface treatment of the parking to the South of the building. He stated' he can discuss these items with Cotuit Solar's engineer, but will not be able to resolve this matter until the ZBA makes a determination of the paving and complies with the zoning bylaw. These items would not be resolved by the meeting on November 12, 2014. The grade area is relatively flat and would require some slope treatment, and a method to make sure the sloping is stabilized. Mr. Kirrane was handed a detailed drainage report that was submitted to the Conservation Commission and it deals with a graveled parking area. He asked if this would help Charlie determine the difference between a graveled and a paved parking area. Charlie said it's a requirement not just with the Fire Department, but also the ZBA to make a determination under the zoning bylaw 174-39, for Variance relief.
