MEETING MINUTES <br /> MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br /> SEPTEMBER 11,2019 <br /> There were requests to revise the additional spot grades, additional curb radii and typical <br /> construction upgrades. There were limited comments made regarding the storm water <br /> runoff which were addressed and confirmed by Charlie Rowley in his short report <br /> submitted this date. There were two general comments regarding traffic circulation, and <br /> traffic generation which were in Charlie's preliminary letter. He didn't have the time to <br /> review all the technical information, but Chris is confident that he will receive positive <br /> information from Charlie Rowley in his final letter. Chris mentioned the comment in <br /> Charlie's letter dated September I lth regarding the two-way traffic. Chris said he spoke <br /> with Brian Anderson with Andy's Market to make sure this does not impact his customer's <br /> loading operations. Chris said he feels strongly about retaining the existing curb-cut on <br /> Rte. 151. <br /> He said they reduced the linear length of curb cut that's pre-existing on this property, and <br /> located it as far from the intersection of Ninigret and Rte. 151 as much as possible. They <br /> provided a future cut-through to provide contiguous traffic flow through the two properties. <br /> Limiting the traffic to one way around the building would prevent them from utilizing that, <br /> and the idea as shown on the graphic shows there are 200-plus residences to the north that <br /> currently utilize Ninigret as their primary point of access and egress, so the idea would be <br /> to alleviate a lot of traffic. This cut through would eliminate the traffic movement to the <br /> intersection. Chris said that the traffic generated from the Dollar store will be insignificant <br /> compared to the volume of the existing infrastructure generated by other uses. <br /> Chris said;the Fire Chief thought the turning radius was excellent to provide full building <br /> circulation for his personnel. The building itself will be serviced by a WD-67 Tractor <br /> Trailer Truck, which is 70 plus feet long, so the area and pavement shown will be needed <br /> to provide full circulation for loading operations, and emergency access. It makes sense to <br /> have that shared cut-through and maintain that two way circulation. The loading operations <br /> will not occur during the operation hours of the store. <br /> Mr. Bonvie read the first item listed on Charlie Rowley's letter dated September 5, 2019. <br /> He considers the paper road a public way. Attorney Kirrane said; no, it's a private way <br /> opened to the public.He said.a public way is a way that results from the taking by the Town <br /> by eminent domain or otherwise which creates a public way, or by the Commonwealth of <br /> Massachusetts. But if it has not been taken as a way or a street by the Town, than it is a <br /> way or private way opened to the public. Ron said if he were an applicant of a sub-division <br /> to then bond or securitize a construction map as all developers do for a sub-division it <br /> would then just remain a private way which could not be used as frontage.Attorney Kirrane <br /> said that when the Planning Board approves sub-divisions they want to make sure that the <br /> ways are constructed according to their rules and regulations, and make sure that the <br /> residents of the sub-division don't have an issue, and they want to make sure they will not <br /> have any impact on adjacent public ways. Ron said why not sign a covenant that says it's <br /> not a buildable lot until it is securitized.Attorney Kirrane said if you build a road than there <br /> is no covenant. Ron said; correct but if he doesn't build a road then he would have to sign <br /> a covenant that says it will never be utilized as a public way. <br /> 8 <br />
