MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES JUNE 24, 2026 The Board had a discussion and disagreed with this comment. They notice a lot of foot traffic around that area of Route 28 and Jobs Fishing. There are no sidewalks. Lynne Sweet thanked everyone with their discussions and would like the development team to review the peer review consultant's presentation and will be expecting the traffic peer review on Tuesday, next week. This could include the fire department's comments and intermingle with the traffic discussion. There are commonality concerns with Daniel's presentation and the Cape Cod Commission's letter. She cautioned the Board that it's wonderful to have a wish list but a 40B has a higher requirement standard which is the health and safety issues and to make sure that during the traffic discussions may be a good time for the fire expert to join a meeting. Attorney Amy Kwesell had no comments. Mr. Morris agreed with the Board's comments but is concerned with the 1.5 parking spaces. He agreed with Mr. Reidy's comments and the presentation. The Board wants equal amount of parking with the number of units. Ms. Mary Waygan, who resides on Ashumet Road and is a Planning Board Member. She is representing herself. She viewed the video dated May 27, 2026, and asked if the application was posted online. She commented that the project does not have any recreational facility or playground area. She mentioned that Mashpee is considered a nitrogen sensitive area by the State and is also subject to intermunicipal agreement for nitrogen control with the Town of Sandwich and Barnstable and that the State approved a management plan of a flow neutral bylaw. She cannot see how this development can be accommodated without strict conditions with wastewater management. She provided the Board the 40B that was approved by the Town of Sandwich and noted that; "The project is subject to a No Net Nitrogen impact due to the IMA dated November 13, 2017". She thanked Daniel Riggs for his presentation. She mentioned that the eligibility letter that was submitted to the State did note that this project would comply with Mashpee Commons Architectural Standards. It would be helpful for the public if Daniel could review the standards. She also agreed that the height of the building and the close proximity to the street is a safety issue. She would prefer the building material to be the Cape Cod style. She suggested that the Board look at the building on Sea Captains Row in Hyannis, Yarmouth Commons, and Edgartown. Lynne Sweet asked Mary Waygan to submit those comments to the Board. 9
