MEETING MINUTES MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APEALS MARCH 25, 2026 NEW HEARINGS O Gunters Lane: Petitioner, Marc Drainville, with GHD, Inc. on behalf of Wastewater Management requests a Modification to the Special Permit (SP-87-05-053) under §174-31 of the Zoning Bylaws, registry Book 6259, Page 140. Proposal is for a subsurface wastewater treatment system and treated water leaching area; the total disturbed area is proposed to be less than seven (7) acres, within the cluster subdivision (Pimlico Heights Subdivision Plan Book 448, Pages 4-10) on property located in the R-5 Zoning District, Map 2, Parcel 170, Mashpee, MA "(Owner of Record: Town of Mashpee)" Sitting on this hearing were Ms. Sangeleer, Mr. Furbush, Mr. Goldstein, Mr. Bonvie, and Mr. Morizio. Attorney, Jonathan Eichman presented the modification application. Also present was Mr. Marc Drainville, PE, and Jared Meader, Wastewater Superintendent. At the last hearing dated February 11, 2026, there were objectives and questions raised by Attorney Henchy, and the abutters about the application and how the bylaws apply. At that hearing those questions were addressed to Attorney Eichman and Mr. Drainville to respond to those questions. Attorney Eichman reviewed the tape, extracted those questions and provide the Board a memorandum dated February 20, 2026, with his answers to those questions (confirmed receipt of the Board). Attorney Eichman stated that Mr. Drainville was asked to provide more detail regarding the plans of the project for a portion of the open space located in the cluster subdivision. Mr. Drainville is prepared to discuss the details of the testing that was performed, and the environmental permits that are required for this project. Mr. Bonvie mentioned that there was some discussion that this hearing could possibly be extended. Attorney Eichman stated that the Town did not request an extension and is willing to move forward. Mr. Bonvie concurred. Attorney Eichman listed and addressed five objections in his memorandum; Objection 1: refers to the Zoning Bylaws §174-24 C (9), modification prohibiting removal of the open space of the Pimlico Cluster Subdivision. He responded to the procedural steps that the bylaws set forward and criteria for consideration of the Town's vision that apply to the Board consideration of this application. This section provides for modifications of existing special permits. On page 2 of the memorandum refers to the clause that the Zoning Board of Appeals is the permit granting authority of special permits. No one is contesting that this special permit does not exist; the cluster subdivision exists. 2
