Mr. Palmieri responded that as the technical consultant to the Planning Board and the Town, <br /> their primary goal is to advise the Planning Board,provide educated support on an application <br /> and to review the thoroughness and detail of the plan. He stated that it is in the best interest of <br /> the Planning Board to have a complete comprehensive set of plans. Mr. Bows added that they are <br /> always aware of any potential liability issues for the Town. He said that they not only offer <br /> engineering review but act as a consultant to the Board. <br /> Mr. Balzarini: As site work inspector what is your philosophy as to the inspection process and <br /> procedures you typically employ in inspection work? What in your opinion is one of the most <br /> important aspects of site inspection work? <br /> Mr. Palmieri said the most important aspect of site inspection is that the project is constructed as <br /> designed. He further added that it is their job to be sure that the project, subdivision or site plan <br /> is constructed as approved. <br /> Ms. Waygan: If selected as technical consultant to the Mashpee Planning Board what is your <br /> availability to meet project approval deadlines, attend bi-monthly meetings of the Planning <br /> Board(if required), or provide project reports in a timely manner? Would one individual be <br /> assigned to that role from your firm if more than one professional is part of your staff? <br /> Ms. Keller said most often she and Mr. Palmieri handle the peer reviews but that Mr. Bows is <br /> available as well. They also have a land surveyor to assist if needed. She stated that typically <br /> when they receive an application, the review can be done within a week and they would be <br /> available for the Board's bi-monthly meetings. She stated that they have always presented their <br /> reviews with coordination with the Town Planner and Board and have asked that if it is agreeable <br /> to the Board that they can communicate with the developers engineer to coordinate an initial site <br /> walk in the initial review process before preparing a review letter. She added that she is aware <br /> that situations arise that need immediate attention and that the staff at Merrill would be available <br /> so that they don't hold up any review process for the Board. Mr. Bows added that with their <br /> teamwork and communication in addition to their three offices they would be able to handle any <br /> emergencies that may arise. Mr. Palmieri added that they would able to attend bi-monthly <br /> meetings and will respond to emails typically the same day so that there is no lack of <br /> communication. Mr. Phelan asked if it would be the same individual who would attend the <br /> Planning Board meetings. Mr. Bows said it would probably be based project by project and the <br /> work load that they have as to who attends the meetings. He said that it would have to be <br /> handled case by case or he would want to know if the Board had a preference. Mr. Palmieri said <br /> that if a consultant started a project, it would be that individual who would follow that project <br /> through. <br /> Ms. Waygan: As a professional engineer/surveyor how do you approach differences in <br /> application of engineering solutions that other farms or individuals might present to the Planning <br /> Board, especially if they are different than your own? What might some of those differences be? <br /> 10 <br />
