MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 9, 2022 Mr. Pesce mentioned that he will be reviewing the details of the drainage analysis with Mr.Kuchar and will be ongoing. He said that he will prepare a letter to the Board stating that all of his comments have been addressed, and referencing the final design revision date for those plans, and those will become the plans of record for the Decision. The Board asked about the landscape plan. Mr. Feronti mentioned that there is a landscape plan in the binder. There is no lighting plan but there is a lighting narrative which explains the methodology behind how they will approach lighting. The landscape plan is a conceptual plan that shows what the intension will be to carry through the same tree lined streets, but there may be some revisions. It's important to make sure there is no impact on lines of sight. Mr. Pesce recommended that a condition would be that final civil engineering design plans, landscape design plans, and proposed lighting plans to be provided for review to the Board's Engineer prior to issuance of a building permit. Mr. Feronti said that all of the building design have to be approved under the architectural code in the Comprehensive Permit. There are nine building types in the binder. The Building Commissioner will review these buildings under the State Building Codes. The civil set plan identifies the dumpster locations in each of the parking lots, and will be appropriately screened. Ms. Arden Russell, Sturgis Lane approached the Board and asked if the existing affordable units are in compliance, and who receives the information to make sure that the units are monitored properly. She asked the Board that they ask for documentation for the reports. Ms. Russell asked about Item 23 on Pg. 17. "The applicant will provide the Board with cost and revenue statements after the sale of the 19 first residential units." These units have been changed to rental units. Mr. Blaisdell mentioned that the monitoring company is in charge of the financials. Mr. Feronti said the monitoring company does the verification of the affordable units. Mr. Feronti said that Mass Housing works with the State. Mr. Furbush asked Ms. Russell who would be the contact person at Town Hall. Ms. Russell said that the Town Manager would be notified. Attorney Peter Freeman said that there is no objection to make sure that the proper compliance takes place, but there's no particular requirement during this process. If the Board would like to institute that it can be done, but Mass Housing, and the monitoring agent CHAPA are responsible to keep these records. Mr. Furbush is correct; it is not relevant to what is being discussed at this time, it's not new permitting. Mr. Freeman said he can have a discussion with the monitoring agency to provide this information to the Town. Mr. Feronti answered Ms. Russell's question that this Phase is all rental which is now 207 units remaining. He is willing to discuss with the Board. 16
