New Post Office continued <br /> Conclusion: Matter is going before ZBA next Wednesday. Rich Stevens suggested the ZBA <br /> should be informed that that everybody on this Committee has voiced concerns about no access to <br /> the post office building from the back parking lot. Suggestion was also made that loading dock <br /> be changed so it cannot block parking area. <br /> I <br /> Wind Conversion Facilities installed on Building 11B <br /> Mr. Storrs showed a picture of the turbines to be installed on second floor of Building 11. He said <br /> residential apartments are behind it. Highlights of the review discussion: <br /> • Glen Harrington commented that turbines are a noise nuisance so he prefers it be on a <br /> commercial building. Doug Storrs said the reason they selected this particular turbine is <br /> because they are less noisy; they are designed to go on residential buildings. When asked . <br /> how heavy the turbines are;Mr. Storrs did not know. <br /> + Turbines will be tied to Mashpee Commons' electric center and will reduce their NStar <br /> costs. <br /> • Tom Fudala commented that Planning Board looked at this proposal for two meetings. <br /> Planning Board is in favor of it. Tom is drafting amendments to the by-laws. <br /> • Mr. Storrs explained they did a lot of research into this and the amount of usage in <br /> Scotland is phenomenal. <br /> • Users suggest maintenance every 2 years. These are the exact same manufacturer that <br /> Christies is using. <br /> Bob Nelson addressed the Committee stating that ZBA advertised a meeting on this request for <br /> next Wednesday. Bob said he has now heard that ZBA has no right to act on this. There was a <br /> difference of interpretation voiced between Tom and Doug Storrs. Tom stated ZBA cannot do a <br /> use variance,but could do it using a finding and modification of the special permit. Doug Storrs <br /> stated ZBA has the authority under Section D-1,which provides for variance from dimensional <br /> release. Bob Nelson pointed out that the by-law change being drafted by Tom would be on the <br /> ballot next May. Mr. Storrs said he would prefer to move forward more quickly,but if it had to <br /> wait until next July for by-law change to go through then they'd have to do that. <br /> i <br /> Approval of Minutes..
