MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br /> MEETING MINUTES <br /> JULY 9, 2025 <br /> The primary business includes housing the rescued dogs and finding adoptive <br /> families. It will not be a day care business. There will be typically six to twelve <br /> dogs at a time, or there will be no dogs when adoption has been provided. There <br /> is an existing outdoor fenced area that will provide a secured area to monitor <br /> the dogs and keep them safe, and there is plenty of parking. <br /> Attorney Kirrane read the bylaw requirements into the record. <br /> Mr. Reidy read the Conservation Department and Board of Health comments <br /> into the record. <br /> Mr. Furbush asked if there will be any overnight supervision of the dogs. Ms. <br /> Eaton mentioned that sometimes there might be overnight supervision if there <br /> are any number of dogs. There will be cameras installed that will be monitored, <br /> and that she is within 15 minutes of the location and can be available if there <br /> are any issues. The small dogs will be separated from the larger dogs. Ms. Eaton <br /> mentioned that she has rescued 896 dogs and saved them from euthanasia. <br /> The dogs will be indoors during the night time. <br /> Mr. Furbush asked if there will be any noise that might disrupt the neighboring <br /> businesses. Ms. Toni mentioned that there will not be a high volume of dogs at <br /> any time, and they are housed for a short time and if any noise she can be <br /> readily available to rectify the situation. The dog waste is disposed of at the <br /> current times, and if necessary, she will hire a waste removal company. <br /> Mr. Bonvie asked how the business is funded. Ms. Eaton said that through <br /> private donations, and fund-raising efforts. He also asked if there will be sound <br /> proofing of the kennels. <br /> Ms. Eaton said that she will be working with a professional kennel company <br /> that specializes in sound proofing as well to make sure that they are applying <br /> the correct methods. <br /> Mr. Bonvie mentioned that he is familiar with sound proofing methods. He is in <br /> favor of the business request, but has to make sure to protect the neighboring <br /> businesses. <br /> 9 <br />
