MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 13, 2023 29 Echo Road and 41 Echo Road: Petitioner, 3M Ventures, Inc., d/b/a Triple M Management Company, LLC requests a modification under § 174-24 (C) (9) (c) (e) of the Zoning Bylaws, and condition #5 of the Special Permit Decisions: SP-2015-33; SP-2019-36; SP-2020-28; MOD- 2023-08 to extend the date for completion of construction from its previously extended date of December 31, 2023 to May 31, 2024 on property located in the I-1 and Light Industrial Overlay Zoning Districts, Map 19 Parcels 3-8 and 3-9, Mashpee, MA. (Owner of record: Triple M. Management Company, LLC.). Attorney Christopher Kirrane represented the Petitioner, 3M Ventures. This is a request for an extension of the existing Special Permit to May 31, 2024. The Board may recall that this matter was before them six months ago and the Board allowed an extension until December 31, 2023. There were some concerns raised by the Fire Department, and the Board allowed the extension until this date knowing his client has consulted with the Fire Department. Attorney Kirrane said his client has consulted with the Fire Department but he has not heard that they had any concerns. Mr. Kirrane provided the Board with a progress report and an estimated timeline of the projected work to be performed. Mr. Bonvie had concerns with what the Fire Department had presented, and the issues that Mr. Morris had. Mr. Reidy read the comments submitted by Catherine Laurent, DPW Director dated November 29, 2023: Echo Road is a Town road. While the original project did receive a Cub Cut Permit from the DPW, this permit has expired. Since then, an issue has arisen with the turning radius for the driveway aprons. The radius is too short/abrupt so vehicles and large trucks entering or exiting the property "cut the corner". This is causing a 'pothole "at each corner and will eventually break down the edge of pavement for Echo Road. I request that any approved extension be conditioned upon the widening of the paved turning radius for each entrance and exit for the properties within the next six months. Attorney Kirrane stated that if the Board is willing to extend the time of completion until January 31, 2024, he will agree to continue the hearing until January 24, 2024. The procedure would require a new application extension from January 31, 2024 to May 31, 2024 because the Board is granting a modification from "X" date, and another modification would be required. Mr. Bonvie is willing to accept a continuance as long as the Board has definitive comments from the Fire Department and Mr. Morris, Building Commissioner. He said he can work with the Attorney on the procedure. Attorney Kirrane asked for an extension of the completion date of Condition 5 of the existing Special Permit until January 31, 2024.
