Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes • 3 July 27, 2005 this by-law, which was defeated at the last town meeting, is excessive. They feel five feet off the lot line is acceptable. Mr. Nelson asks if the shed is on blocks which would make it portable. The applicant says that it is and the board feels as long as it is on blocks it would not be considered a permanent structure. Ms. Mihos would accept five feet from lot line as opposed to the three feet that was originally requested. Robert Nelson moves to grant a variance that would allow the shed to be five feet off the lot line since the actual lot line figures are not depicted on the plot plan. Marshall Brem seconds the motion. All agree. So moved. Reference the mortgage loan inspection plan which was allowed to be used for the use of placing the shed only, dated April 14, 2000.

The Board previously granted a Variance on this property in order to deem this lot buildable for the commercial building they are proposing to build. This matter has been before the Design Review/Tech Review Committee as well as the Planning Board for almost a year and they have now come to an agreement on the plans being presented tonight. The applicant has made all of the changes they have requested are feel they are now ready to move forward for the special permit from the ZBA to develop a boat storage facility. Attorney Kirrane provides a brief summary of what the applicant proposes to do on this property. They are seeking to build a wholesale boat storage facility that will store boats both inside and outside for a total of about 21 vessels give or take depending on the size of the boats. Aplicant is proposing to construct a 6,048 square foot building which will house the boats but will also allow for an inside area to perform primarily off season maintenance of boats. The Tech Review Committee felt they needed a fire plan thus the applicant has hired Anthony Caputo, a fire protectant consultant. Upon discussion of the Board with respect to harzardous materials, Mr. Caputo informs them that all materials will be listed and where they will be stored as well as fire rooms with high density sprinklers that would contain any fire hazard, therefore maintaining it to one room. They discuss hazardous materials for some time. A fire hydrant will be installed on the site as well. There will be no rack storage at this point and Mr. Caputo tells the board that the gas tanks will remain full since it is the fumes from the gas tanks that cause the explosions and not the gas itself. Mr. Conway mentions that these buildings will be • Morton Buildings and about 27 feet high. They will be well kept and a landscaping plan is also submitted. Mr. Kirrane also addresses the concerns of the residents from Deer
