�h- <br /> TOWN OF MASHPEE <br /> DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING <br /> January 26, 2000 <br /> The Design Review Committee met at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 26, 2000 <br /> in Room 3 of Mashpee Town Hall. <br /> Committee Members Present: William Hauck, Ex Officio; Ed Govoni, Chairman; <br /> Mary LeBlanc, Thomas F. O'Hara, and Walter Yarosh. Also Present: Russ Wheeler <br /> and Bill Haney. <br /> 1. Canal Auto Body, 65 Algonquin Ave. <br /> Messrs. Nickerson and Russo presented revised plans to construct a commercial <br /> type building with accompanying paving, parking and utilities in the Z-2, re-charge <br /> area. <br /> It was strongly suggested the applicants consult with the Technical Review <br /> Committee. <br /> Canal Auto Body plans to use half of the building and rent out the other half to <br /> businesses which would compliment the auto body business, such as auto <br /> upholstering, auto glass, and detailing. <br /> It was suggested a few of the egress doors be eliminated in order to improve the <br /> building's appearance. <br /> Vinyl siding and the mansard roof met with approval, although some members <br /> prefer wood siding for the front. It was agreed a good quality, heavy vinyl could be <br /> utilized. A split block was suggested for a portion of the front of the building. <br /> Heating equipment will be installed inside the building; nothing will be on the roofs. <br /> Dumpsters should be screened and shown on a future plan. No fencing is planned. <br /> Storage should not go outside. <br /> Drainage swales and groundwater leaching were discussed at length. Shade trees <br /> need to be planted in the parking area. Pines are needed in the front as well as <br /> inkberry on the side and rear. Bradford pears and inkberry should be installed in the <br /> front, sides and rear. Other landscaping suggestions included doing something <br /> about the swale and the corner. Transfer some pines, stagger the vegetation, mix <br /> species. All new plantings need to be watered generously. Azaleas and <br /> pyracantha are not good choices; more drought-tolerant plans should be used. <br /> Mr. Haney, an abutting property owner, noted the 40 ft. buffer zone. <br />
