Board of Appeals Cape Cod Ventures, Inc. — Jiffy Lube V-99-27 2 Special Permit relief being sought is for the commercial development of a Jiffy Lube service station. Mr. Joe Pandolfo, contractor for the building; Mr. Randy Huber, site plan engineer from Rand Associates; Mr. Jim Noyes, traffic engineering consultant; and Mr. Joseph Menendez, President of Cape Cod Ventures, Inc., also attended the meeting. Attorney Kirrane referred to a large site plan and detailed landscape plan that were approved by the Design Review Committee. The substantial landscaping will further enhance the property. The traffic study concluded that the proposal will have minimal impact on traffic flow. The building will include three bays to service the vehicles, an office and a waiting area. The queue line will not interfere with access in or out of any of the 14 parking spaces. Attorney Kirrane informed the Board that potential spills or leaks will be contained in a large pit area in the building. Creating a berm beneath the bay doors will control any spills occurring on the deck. This is drained into tight tanks, greatly eliminating the possibility of contamination by toxic or hazardous material to any groundwater supply or surface water body. The tanks will be pumped out periodically. The hours of operation are proposed as follows: Monday through Friday: 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. Saturday: 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Sunday: 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. The applicant proposes to create the front lot as a 40,000 + square foot lot, separating it from the rear lot. The rear lot will have no frontage and will be considered as an appendage to the Botello Lumber Yard. Mr. Menendez informed the Board that the average bay time is ten minutes per car. He stated that the facility can accommodate three cars every ten minutes. The average Jiffy Lube services approximately 45 to 50 cars a day. The queue lines will be sufficient to accommodate people waiting for their vehicles to be serviced, even on a busy day. No comments were received from abutters. FINDINGS General Findings 1. the subject property is located at 60 Falmouth Road and consists of 40,656 square feet.
