MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES DULY 13,2022 Attorney Christopher Kirrane represented the applicant Capewide Construction. Also present was Roger Brooks, with Capewide Construction, John LaValle, with Baxter Nye Engineering. The property is located at 19 Mercantile Way in the I-1 and Light Industrial Overlay District. The building is a typical Morton style building similar to other buildings located in this development. The lot is 44,516 sq. ft. lot with 200 ft. of frontage. The footprint of the building is 7,272 sq. ft. There is a proposed mezzanine and a revision will be made to a revised plan. The floor plan that is shown is a bit larger than what the building code defines as a mezzanine. A mezzanine can only be one third of the underlying floor area, so a revision will be made to make sure that it meets the building code requirement. The mezzanine is currently shown on the plan as 2,419 sq. ft., and will be revised to 2,349 sq. ft. which will meet the definition under the building code. The mezzanine is basically a second floor. Mr. Roger Brooks said that the owner is not sure how he intends to use that open space. He plans to have a show room and cabinet making facility but there will be a stairway to the mezzanine. Chairman Furbush mentioned the notes submitted by the Plan Review Committee and wanted to know if the applicant is asking for the approval of the building and the uses at the same time. Attorney Kirrane said; yes. If the project is approved by the ZBA, Greg Clancy Construction, and will be utilizing a portion of the building for cabinetry making for his clients that are in the process of building their home or that is under construction for a kitchen, etc. The showroom is not open to the public; it's by appointment. Mr. Goldstein said that Clancy Construction has a cabinet shop but is looking to have his own building. Mr. Bonvie asked if the conditions were met from Plan Review. Attorney Kirrane said; yes. The paint booth was approved by the Fire Department, and the parking lot for the septic system was approved by the Board of Health. Mr. Bonvie wanted confirmation that the Plan Review Committee was satisfied with the conditions that were submitted. The Board would like the plans reviewed and approved by a Town official or someone qualified that all conditions are met. Attorney Kirrane said that most of the conditions were met with the exception of the revised plans regarding the parking that the ZBA needs to review. Mr. Reidy went through the conditions on the Plan Review list and mentioned that the Board of Health is involved with all of the items except for the parking. The Board would like to continue the petition based on their discussion regarding the parking, and they are requesting revised comments from some members of Plan Review Committee. Attorney Kirrane requested a continuance until Wednesday, July 27, 2022. 3
