liked the idea of avoiding the wetland but expressed concern about Fire Department needs and whether <br /> the neighbors would be willing to share the driveway. <br /> Mr. Lehrer apologized for the error in the Public Hearing Notice, noting that the matter could be <br /> reviewed with the Planning Board on March 6. Mr. Lehrer recommended consulting with the Building <br /> Commissioner and Fire Department in advance of that meeting, to better understand whether there <br /> would be a need for a variance. Mr. Lizardi-Rivera agreed to do so. Mr. Lehrer added that, in a <br /> previous similar request, a Special Permit was granted conditionally upon receipt of Fire Department <br /> access. Mr. Rowley suggested more information would be needed about the surface and that a curb cut <br /> would be needed from the DPW to make the connection to Old Barnstable Road, which should be <br /> added to the plan. Mr. Lizardi-Rivera will follow up with the DPW and add it to the plan. <br /> The Chair opened for public comment. Teresa Sandinkowsky addressed the Board with a prepared <br /> statement. <br /> I have a verdict slip awarding me monetary damages and a jury verdict decision against a company <br /> once owned and operated by Matthew Costa, which is current owner and operator of Cape and Islands <br /> Engineering. My docket number is 2014 0359. The jury decision holds Matthew's company <br /> responsible not only for negligence, but also for violating Chapter 93-8 of the Consumer Protection <br /> Act. In other words, the actions of Matthew's and Christopher's company were willful and knowing, <br /> unfair and deceptive business practices. For over 15 years,Matthew Costa engaged in the practice of <br /> land surveying in East Falmouth and Mashpee without a license and without insurance. He was sued <br /> three times, the Company was sued three times. In 2013, he closed his business in East Falmouth and <br /> he destroyed 15 years of records, including mine. His father Christopher testified that he had no <br /> involvement in the new business here in Mashpee. In nay opinion, Matthew engaged in the same <br /> fraudulent practices in Mashpee under the name, Cape and Islands Engineering, again, without having <br /> a license himself. As guardians of the people of Mashpee, I'm asking for you to investigate his past <br /> behaviors and the facts of nay case, before engaging in Mr. Costa's services or accepting his work. <br /> Before you commit the hard earned tax money of the citizens of Mashpee, you need to know the person <br /> you are thinking of working with and the facts of the latest judgement against Mathew and his father, <br /> and their company. <br /> The Chair requested that Ms. Sandinkowsky's comments be written verbatim in order to share it with <br /> Town Counsel, along with the docket number. Ms. Sandinkowsky asked that the Board investigate the <br /> company with which the Board would be doing business. The Chair assured Ms. Sandinkowsky that <br /> the Board would want those working on this plan to be professionally qualified to provide their <br /> services and that Town Counsel could look into the matter. <br /> MOTION: Mr. Balzarini made a motion to continue the Public Hearing to March 6 at 7:10 p.m. <br /> Mr.Weeden seconded the motion.
