MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 9, 2022 Mr. Feronti mentioned he worked on the civil engineering with Ed Pesce, and Horsley Witten Group for Phase 1. He had a discussion with Mr. Pesce that involved a 510-page utility plan and the scope of work detailing the storm water report. Mr. Feronti mentioned that the plan exceeds the parking requirements. There are 244 spaces required, and there are 246 provided as well as off-street spaces for the residential units. This is based on one space for every one bedroom, or studio, and two spaces for every two bedroom or more. In addition,that total number of parking spaces includes 8 handicapped parking spaces, but there will be 15 spaces provided. Mr. Feronti said that there is wastewater capacity for the wastewater treatment plant. There is a ground water discharge permit for 180,000 gallons a day, and currently using 90,000 gallons. There will be 182 bedrooms being added to that plant;there will be an excess capacity of just over 70,000 gallons. Mr. Feronti said that his team met with the fire department showing the turning radius for all of the intersections, and the hydrant locations. He met with Andy Marks of the Mashpee Water District, and was approved for connections to the public water supply. Mr. Feronti has met with the Chief of Police who will meet with his staff and will follow up with any concerns. Mr. Feronti explained that part of the process is to get approval of the three sub-phases so he can go back to Mass Housing to get the final approval letter for this plan set. Once the final approval letter is done, that formalizes the details for the lottery arrangement, the monitoring agreement, and all of the regulatory information that is part of what the Zoning Board needs to approve for the process of the three sub-phases,but cannot actually be produced until Mashpee Commons does the final approval letter with Mass Housing. Mr. Feronti will return to the Zoning Board after approved by Mass Housing and prior to starting construction. Mr.Blaisdell asked if Mass Housing is in charge of the lottery. Mr. Feronti said that SEB Housing, and the Angler Group are the monitoring and lottery agents. He said that 40B projects are 25% affordable. Chairman Furbush asked if the Fire Department had an issue with the building height that exceeds the 35 ft. requirement. Mr. Feronti said that the Fire Department concerns were reaching the window on the top floor of the space. The total height of the building to get to the ridge is less of a concern as it is to get to the sill of the top floor unit. The Fire Department will be part of the review process during the planning stages before submitting plans to the Building Department. Mr. Blaisdell said he is willing to condition any future recommendations submitted by the Police Department. 14
