MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS JULY 24, 2013 MINUTES • This project is also conditioned upon a full set of revised plans submitted to the building inspector showing compliance of heights, stories, and average grade present and future and his approval of the plans. John Dorsey seconded the motion, yes. Votes: Jonathan Furbush, yes, Bill Blaisdell, yes, James Reiffarth, yes, Richard Jodka, yes, and Dom DeBarros, yes. All were in favor. OTHER BUSINESS Tom Feronti, Construction Manager representing Mashpee Commons 40B Project addressed the Board and introduced the following attendees: Eric Bush, Financial Advisor of Russ Point Advisory, John Connell, Project Manager and Bud Chace, Principal of Mashpee Commons. John Connell, Project Manager spoke and presented the project to the Board Members starting with "Sub -Phase A" which is to complete Market Street all the way to Jobs - Fishing Road. John mentioned there is a deadline to start the project now and systematically with the requirements of 40B and the ZBA before the permit lapses in April, 2014. A problem was discovered regarding the threshold of the four foundations with the 40B requirements. A building permit needs to be issued to start the building project but the 40B regulations state that no permit should be issued before their final letter of approval. Although there is a Comprehensive Permit in place, construction cannot start until a letter of approval is issued. The four foundations are the threshold of the project and effectively moves the deadline up about five (5) months. Jonathan Furbush stated there are several items to consider prior to start of the project, i.e., minor or major modifications, size of buildings, number of units, plan changes, etc. He mentioned that the Planning Board and other departments should be notified and approve of the project before returning to the Zoning Board of Appeals. He stated any plans and changes of what was approved and what is proposed should be submitted to determine if a minor or major modification. Ron Bonvie suggested to possibly setup meetings to include all Board members, Selectmen, Planning/Design, Town Engineer and Zoning Board to fast track the project. Richard Morgan mentioned that these plans should include the current stretch and sprinkler codes. Tom Feronti the architecture of the buildings would still follow the code that was approved as a function of the special permit. Any changes regarding road layout would be submitted to the Town Engineering, fire and police departments for review prior to start of any construction. In concluding, John Connell thanked the Board for their time and will be in contact again soon to schedule future discussions. 7
