Plan Review Members Present: Charlie Maintanis, Local Inspector Scott Carline, Police Department Tom Fudala, Town Planner Joel Clifford, Fire Inspector Glen Harrington, Health Agent Joyce Mason, Town Manager Catherine Laurent, DPW Director Audience: Bob Wooldridge – ADA Committee Carol Sherman – Board of Selectmen Charlie Maintanis called the meeting to order at 9 a.m. Building 33, Steeple Street 2088 square foot Maintenance Building Representative – Tom Feronti________ Tom Feronti and John Connell appeared on behalf of Mashpee Commons. Tom Feronti said the building is identified as Building 33 and is at Steeple Street and Route 28. It will be a Cape Cod barn building with red shingles. He said it will be a Maintenance Building with garage on first floor and storage on the second floor. He advised they have updated the Plan from the one the Committee has nd seen in that now the 2 floor will not be office, but rather storage area. The area on the first floor will be everything staff needs to access, such as lockers, showers, and equipment.  They applied to ZBA for a setback variance. They are requesting 21.9’ setback, rather than 40’ setback.  Goal is to have connectivity between the neighborhoods. This is the first building they are looking to bring tighter to the intersection to start to create passageway for pedestrians.  Building 32 across Steeple Street still on original plan but they will probably want to move it when they address that building.  Right now, less than 12’ from building to curb and will put sidewalk there to connect to sidewalk on Steeple Street.  Losing 5 parking spaces with this building, but still have an excess of 63 spaces.  This is permitted location of the building, so that’s where they are putting it. Master Plan works with the Plan.  Catherine Laurent questioned location of one of the doors at the West rear parking location. Tom Feronti answered that partial space will be dedicated as a loading zone.  Tom Fudala said does this fit with the idea of connecting the Commons across Route 28 since this seems like dead space.
