Upon <br /> approval of the schematic design, construction documents are anticipated <br /> to be prepared in mid September and placed out to bid in early October. <br /> The construction project is anticipated to last six months with occupancy <br /> in June or July of 2008. <br /> The design of the intended facility is familiar in style to the main fire <br /> station headquarters. The colors have been retained to continue the fire <br /> station identity in the Town of Mashpee. Six full time firefighters per shift <br /> will be employed at the new substation. <br /> Peter Michaelson, Jr. was present on behalf of the Michaelson Family <br /> Trust to discuss his family concerns regarding the present design. Issues <br /> addressed related to lighting from the parking area and the noise from the <br /> engine exhaust systems. In response, Chief Baker indicated he would <br /> advocate for the engine exhaust to exit through the front of the building in <br /> a muffled type of system in an effort to be less disruptive to the neighbors. <br /> Additional landscape and fencing was also a consideration to lessen the <br /> engine noise and to buffer the lighting from the rear parking area. <br /> It was agreed the Assistant Town Manager would serve as a liaison to the <br /> area residents to address their concerns. <br /> I <br />
