Minutes of Meeting Plan Review Committee Tuesday, January 7, 2025 Mashpee Town Hall Waquoit Meeting Room Catherine Laurent, DPW Director Ms. Laurent mentioned that there is an existing fire retention for the senior center parking lot. She noticed that there is grading toward that area. She questioned if there is storm water infrastructure located at the patio area, and to make sure it's not contributing toward the senior center. Mr. Buckley said there will be a berm installed to direct the runoff. The runoff will flow into the catch basin or the swale. The area is 50% sand, 30% compost, and 20% loam at the bio-retention area. Ms. Laurent wanted to make sure there is an O&M plan included with the project. Ms. Laurent mentioned that there is existing utility conduit provided by Open Cape for the Boys and Girls Club and includes the connections for the schools. She asked that a sketch be rotated in the field so that the connections be preserved. Mr. Buckley pointed out the gas lines and utilities that are on the utility plan. Ms. Laurent stated that Open Cape provides the telecommunications service for the Boys and Girls Club and the two elementary schools. Ms. Laurent asked if there is a proposal for outdoor use space. Mr. Kiley mentioned that the proposal only includes programs to be located inside the building, and is for safety reasons. Ms. Laurent mentioned that there might be a possible conflict with children using the school playgrounds rather than the use of the Boys and Girls Club. Mr. Kiley will review this. Ms. Laurent was curious if there would be any future outdoor playground area proposed to avoid conflict with the current schools. David Morris, Building Commissioner Mr. Morris mentioned on a zoning point of view, and waiting for Town Counsel's determination, he would consider this a modification to the existing Special Permit or any approvals that work. He said that the zoning bylaw would be §174-25 18 which is an "indoor recreation facility" that fits the criteria for a Special Permit by the Planning Board. However, it is under 10,000 sq. ft. and could be presented to the Zoning Board or the Planning Board. He could not locate the original Special Permit, so the original building might have been approved by the Select Board. He asked if this project could be approved by the Select Board, and if this question could be brought to Town Counsel to determine the correct path of approval. Mr. Morris asked if there was any further discussion. There was none. He asked for a motion. Mr. Collins made a motion to approve the project as presented on the condition that Town Counsel is satisfied with the plan. Additionally, complying with the Fire Chief's request to designate a fire lane, and preserving the conduit for Open Cape. Mr. Carline second. Mr. Morris took a roll call vote. Mr. Collins, yes, Mr. Peltier, yes, Mr. Carline, yes, Ms. Laurent, yes, and Mr. Morris, yes. All were in favor. 4
