Doug Storrs Jobs& Whitings Road Commercial Space continued • Access issues...Charlie Maintanis suggested keeping handicap parking; handicap access issues; etc. in mind as they go along. Doug Storrs said as they've come along they've added additional handicap parking and ramps. • Bob Nelson suggested it might be beneficial to tell this Committee of ZBA restrictions spelled out for Market Street. Mr. Storrs said they would be building and making formal connection from Market Street up to Jobs Fishing Road. • Tom O'Hara said everybody on Planning Board liked the plan but had questions about parking issues and service delivery street parking issues. Tom also said he is looking for j 'input from Police and Fire Departments so he could bring information from this Committee to the Planning Board to move it forward. • Doug Storrs said George Baker went through in detail and said in front of ZBA that he was satisfied with everything but was not completely happy with 2 or 3 buildings but they are in phase 6 or 7 and will be dealt with down the line. Sheldon said if they come back with details on each phase,then that's fine. • Mr. Storrs noted that Market Street is being completed as part of phase 1. • Fire Alarm System...Sheldon asked for those buyers other than Mashpee Commons,who is responsible for fire alarm systems? Doug Storrs responded the condominium association for that building would be responsible. • Loading zones...Doug Storrs said majority will be through rear, as well as on-street parking/loading. He said that is the intent of the lane. • Parking...W. Storrs repeated that they are going to have plenty of parking. He said employees are calculated in the parking calculations. He believes they have parking spaces in excess of the demand. • Tom Fudala commented that Planning Board now specifies square footage for each allowed use in special permits. Mr. Storrs said he objects strongly to putting limitations on their project due to faults of others. Comments from Audience Robert Wooldridge asked Mr. Storrs if wherever practical they have access ramps at emergency exits for the commercial units. Further,Mr. Wooldridge suggested they do an over-all review of topography and positioning of handicap parking. As an example, he said right now behind Sienna there are 2 handicap spaces that are on slopes. Mr. Storrs said this is a valid comment and he would discuss this at the ZBA. Next Meeting Bob Nelson advised that at February 13`h ZBA meeting they have the new post office building on the agenda and recommends this Committee review the site plan. Mr. Storrs said he would be available to attend whenever meeting scheduled. The Committee agreed and will ask Pat to try and schedule a meeting of this Committee on February 7, 2008.
