Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes June 27, 2006 (3) A lean-to inside parking area is proposed along Front Street that would be consistent with the Mashpee Commons design to alleviate a "parking to parking" scenario as the unit abuts the Homeyer Village parking area. Mr. Rowley made note of his concern regarding the inside lean-to proposal on LA -24-24 Front Street as it relates to the egress of vehicles at the subject site comer location. (4) The small green previously located in the center of Meeting Street has been eliminated from the design proposal. The green area has been relocated to the front of buildings 127/133 and buildings 121 and 122a on both sides of the street to create more of a buffer and to improve vehicle movement and flow. (5) The amended design modifies building 121, 122a and 122b and improves parking to support residential uses. Garden Lane is now a pedestrian only connection to better serve the area residents. The pedestrian paths will not be paved roadways. Mr. Rowley indicated the parking to the rear of building 121 it very tight. Twenty-four feet is • typical between parking aisles. (6) The retail/office space in building 121 has been reduced to 1,300 square feet. The commercial space will only be along Jobs Fishing Road. (7) Lot 66, initially of high density has been reconfigured in the design plan. The units and commercial space have also been reduced. Four townhouses and two live work units are proposed in place of 12 units. The commercial space is reduced from 6,320 to 2,400 square feet. The commercial space is not shown as part of the live work unit totals. This is a reduction of 5,770 commercial square feet in total. Mr. Rowley asked about the garage lot, 66b & 66c as it pertains to access and limited width. It was noted that all garages would access from a lane and not a street. The matter was taken under advisement. Final subdivision plans would be provided to the Board in greater detail to address this concern. (8) To conform to density, lot 1 was modified to reflect three units opposed to eight. (9) Twelve townhouses have been incorporated into the proposed design in place of 5 single family homes along Broad Street in an effort to better situate the makeup of the intended homes around the green area of the design plan. • (10) Along Fountain Street, two duplexes are proposed in place of two sets of three townhouses.
