MEETING MINUTES <br /> MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br /> SEPTEMBER 11,2019 <br /> He said that some vehicles travel down Old Brickyard Road to avoid the traffic on Rte. 151 <br /> to get through to the neighborhoods.He asked the Board to consider the size of the building <br /> because the variances requested could make the building that much larger. <br /> Brian Anderson, with Andy's Market said he strongly disagrees with the traffic engineer's <br /> report. He had discussions with the owner and thought when the property was developed <br /> that he could share the entrance with that lot. He was asked 22 years ago by the Town <br /> Planner to eliminate two curb cuts; one was eliminated on the abutting lot, and one was <br /> eliminated on his lot which was combined to one curb cut on Wampanoag Ave. He said if <br /> this lot is developed, he said he is willing to change his driveway so they can both go in <br /> and out in a two way fashion to the intersection. He said he had to research the issues of <br /> the paper road. He is adamantly against the engineer's proposal of a one way drive way for <br /> this project or any other proposed project. <br /> Doug Semple asked the Board if they are closing the hearing tonight. Chairman Furbush <br /> said the meeting will be continued because the applicants will have more to present when <br /> they come back, especially questions regarding Wampanoag Ave. Mr. Semple asked if the <br /> Board will be taking any more comments at the next meeting. Chairman Furbush said the <br /> meeting will be continued to listen to the applicants, and most likely will close the next <br /> meeting. The next meeting is scheduled on October 16, 2019, and will be very brief. The <br /> Board will need to get some information that they requested; such as a summary, and then <br /> vote. <br /> There were other residents from other locations in Town that spoke on the same issues <br /> relating to the traffic in that area,the request for several variances,the size of the building, <br /> and saying it is a detriment to the character of the neighborhood. <br /> Attorney Kirrane said that he believes that the building is one of the more attractive <br /> buildings proposed in that stretch on Rte. 151. He requested a copy of the letters that were <br /> submitted to the Board. He said he will comment on some of the discussions raised at the <br /> next meeting. He doesn't disagree that other uses would be more attractive than some but <br /> other uses in some cases would create even more traffic in a smaller building than what is <br /> being proposed for this particular use in this size building. He cannot recall any lot where <br /> there are three streets that impact a use on a lot, and the many uses that were on that lot <br /> before where uses that predated any of the current zoning requirements that exist today. He <br /> will comment at the next meeting on some of the letters that were submitted. <br /> Mr. Bonvie made a motion to accept the applicant's request to extend this hearing until <br /> October 16, 2019. Mr. Goldstein second, yes. All were in favor. <br /> OTHER BUSINESS <br /> Sharon moved to approve the meeting minutes dated August 28, 2019. Mr. Goldstein <br /> second, yes. All were in favor. <br /> 12 <br />
