Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals September 14, 2011 Minutes • Attorncy Kirrane reminded the Board that it granted a Special Permit to the previous owner allowing for construction of four separate contractor bay buildings on the subject property. That previous owner has been foreclosed upon. The Petitioner, Franey Medical Laboratories, Inc. recently signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement on the property. The subject property is located in an Industrial Zone and consists of 1.64 acres of land with the required 200 feet of frontage. The proposal calls for construction of a 5,700 square foot wood frame building with shingles and clapboard on a concrete slab, which will replace the existing concrete slab on the property. The building will be used for corporate offices and medical laboratory purposes in the front, and a warehouse with a loading dock to the rear of the building. Twenty-two parking spaces will be provided. Proposed lot coverage will be approximately 8%. This new location will allow the Company to continue to expand and more efficiently provide services to its clientele, which consists largely of physicians, the Courts and corporate employers. Attorney Kirrane stated that the laboratory function involves the preparation of a specimen, which is almost exclusively urine and collected off-site, analyzing the specimen, and then generating a report for transmittal to the client. All specimens are retained for 30 days, providing the Petitioner opportunity to dispose of all specimens properly. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Deliveries are made via UPS or FED -EX trucks.. Small cars are also used to make • deliveries. There will be no large tractor trailers. This is an allowed use under Section 174-25.1)(2) and 174-25.1)(3) with grant of a Special Permit from the ZBA. Attorney Kirrane stated that the proposed use is far less intense in nature than the use previously approved for this site by the Zoning Board of Appeals in 2008. The proposed location of the facility will be 100 feet farther away than the buildings previously approved by the Board in the 2008 Decision. Referring to Section 174-24.C(1) of the Zoning By-laws, Attorney Kirrane said that there will be no adverse impacts on public facilities, surface and groundwater quality, traffic and neighboring properties. All runoff on site will be retained and dispensed into vegetated drainage facilities. The proposal will not generate excessive noise or hazardous waste. Mr. Nelson said that the Board will require a deposit from the Petitioner for fees incurred by a consulting engineer who will be acting on behalf of the Board. After a brief discussion, the Board and the Petitioner agreed to a figure of $3,000 which will be deposited into an account from which the consulting engineer will be paid. Mr. Nelson said that parking in front of the building requires ZBA approval. Mr. Junqueira said that the signage will only be 2' x 8' or 2' x 10' in size. Mr. Eddy said that the photometric plan shows that lighting is designed to illuminate up • to 20 feet from the property line with zero light intensity at the property line along the rear and the sides — all at ground level. The luminaires are shoebox-style light fixtures with 90 degree cutoffs. 3
