MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT Owner, Suzanne Rogers 5 Mercantile Way (Map 88 Parcel 106) Mashpee, MA 02649 SP-2023-07 The Board read the comments submitted by Catherine Laurent,DPW Director dated January 25, 2023 into the record;"I am in agreement with Ed's report with one correction. Commercial Street is the only Town-owned road so DPW will only assume maintenance of the drainage structures in the southwest corner of the drainage easement on the property (overflow for the catch basins on Commercial Street). Industrial Drive and Mercantile Way are both private roads so the association or businesses on those roads are responsible for maintenance of their associated drainage." Mr. Ojala with Down Cape Engineering and Mr. Pesce reviewed the latest site plan and agreed that the slight enlargement of the retention area will manage and correct any drainage issues off of Commercial Street. Mr. Pesce reviewed the minor concerns as submitted to the Board and he recommended approval contingent upon receiving the final plans and erosion control plan. There will also be compliance inspections during construction and after construction with an as-built plan. Mr. Pesce will prepare a letter that the inspection was done for the drainage, and the Board of Health will be inspecting the septic system. The Water Dept. will review the water supply. The Board discussed the cost that should be placed in an escrow account for the peer review services. Mr. Pesce recommended that the applicant establish a $3,500 fee for an escrow account for inspections and close out of the project at or before obtaining a building permit. He would also have to write a letter prior to the certificate of occupancy being issued. Mr. Pesce submitted an invoice for his initial review of the site for $2,301.45. The total escrow amount would be $5,801.45. In view of the foregoing, the Board determined the Petitioner met the criteria for a Special Permit. Upon motion duly made and seconded at the Public Hearings on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 the Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to issue a Special Permit to Owner, Suzanne Rogers for 5 Mercantile Way under §§174-37, 174-41 (M), 174-25 (G) (14), 174-45.6 (D), and §174-25 (G) (6) of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for construction of a 7,440 sq. ft. building for its lawn care and pest control business, and for storage of vehicles on property located in an I-1 and Light Industrial Overlay District(s), Map 88 Parcel 106, Mashpee, MA with the following conditions: 1.
