MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A WRITTEN FINDING Petitioner: Fausto Abreu d/b/a Cape Cod Appliance Liquidators Owner of record: Juan Marichal; Trustee 100 Great Neck Road North(Map 45 Parcel 3) Mashpee, MA 02649 FINDING-2020-18 Mr. Mills said that the Hyannis location is mostly an online business, and these appliances are delivered from an off-site location. Customers can go to the business location to view the products or order line. Mr. Abreu is proposing to conduct business between 10:00 am and 6:30 pm, Monday through Saturday. The hours of operation are significantly reduced than the previous business that existed. Also the occupancy at the former.establishment held approximately 291 people,and there will generally be 10 people maximum in the store at any given time. There are no exterior changes being proposed to the building at this time. The Board should find the change of use is not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the former use. Mr. Fausto Abreu has owned Welcome Appliance for over one year. He buys used, and new scratch-and-dent appliances from the States of New York, and New Jersey, and sells the appliances at a lower cost. He believes he is providing the Cape an easier alternative to search for ready available appliances. He generally gets his products from trade by Lowes and other home building supply stores. The customer can purchase and take the appliance the same day. He said there will be at least 3 to 4 employees. The space will be an open warehouse area so people can view the products. He believes this will be a productive business for the Town of Mashpee. The Board had a discussion regarding the site conditions addressed by the Health Agent and DPW Director at the Plan Review meeting. Mr. Marichal said he intends to fix the property and septic system by working with the BSC Group on the engineering. He is also working with Sage Environmental because the septic system is very large, and the process takes time. There was a ground water test and a hydro ecological evaluation done,and both companies are in the process of working with him on the system to upgrade the property drainage issues. Sharon read the Board of Health comments into the record;"Please accept the motion from the 7 JUL 2020 Plan Reviei4� Committee as the BOH comments of record." Charlie said he cannot speak for the Board of Health but the inspectional services will have to approve the business before issuing a building permit. Mr. Mills said that the discussion should only be regarding the requested proposal brought before the Board. There is no Special Permit. Mr. Mills said that his client Mr. Marichal, the property owner, will gladly cooperate on what he intends to do, and is in the process of working through the requirements for the property. 2
