Minutes of Meeting Plan Review Committee Tuesday, June 6, 2023 Mashpee Town Hall Waquoit Meeting Room The bylaw does not allow accessory parking on a lot that is not part of the whole entire marina. The proposal consists of combining the two lots under the LLC which is 21 Frog Pond Close LLC, and to allow parking on the whole entire lot that is currently 352 Mashpee Neck Road. The owner will continue to use the residence as a residence for either the marina owner, or an employee of the marina. If the ZBA approves this project, this would be a condition of their decision that this residence would only be used for the owner of the Marina or an employee of the marina. There will be no air-b-and-b, or other type of rental. It will strictly be the owner or an employee of the marina. The office space is also being proposed but only as an accessory to the marina, which will be located on the first floor. The proposal also includes 32 parking spaces to accommodate the overflow parking and also boat storage. The boat storage would be ground only, no racks. This would also be a condition by the ZBA if they approve the project. The access from Mashpee Neck Road would only be for the residence, there will be no marina traffic flowing in an out onto Mashpee Neck Road. The plan depicts a stockade that will be situated along the entrance parameter of the property with a locked gate that will not allow the public to access. There will be an internal driveway between the two properties which will accessed by traveling on Frog Pond Close, and enter through the existing parking area of the Marina to park at 352 Mashpee Neck Road. There is no changes in the marina use. The fire department does annual inspections and there is no additional activity being proposed. This is simply to allow additional parking. The plan also has arborvitaes that will be installed between the abutting properties of the parking area. The septic system will be upgraded to accommodate the total use or there will be a temporary bathroom trailer for the site, but will require Board of Health approval. Mr. Tim Leedham, Owner of the property spoke and stated that the marina does an excellent job in controlling the parking, keeping it strictly to members of the marina, and neighbors are allowed to walk the property. He pointed out that on the busiest Saturdays of the year between 4pm— 10 pm there is enough parking for the initial trip, but there are people that have extended families and friends to enjoy their boating and they are aggravated that they cannot have a second vehicle in order to accommodate 8-10 people. They end up shuttling them down Mashpee Neck Rd back and forth from their residence. The other issue on Mashpee Neck Road which is north of the entrance to Pirates Cove Community has now been cleared on the sides for trailer parking for the boat ramp. He believes there is now more use of the ramp than in prior years. He is trying to accommodate his customers totally internally so there is less impact as possible using the path to Mashpee Neck Road. The residence will be controlled internally from the lower parking area. He will be also comply with the different changes that are required for safety, environmental reasons, and the concerns of the neighbors. He met with several neighbors and made several changes to the plan based on discussions he had with the community after the ZBA continuance a couple weeks ago. The new revised plan is now to provide the access from the marina to the overflow parking, and the addition of a stockade fence. These modifications were made as discussed with the community. 2
