Mashpee Design Review Committee Minutes of Meeting Held Wednesday, September 1, 2004 Mashpee Town Hall Meeting Room 3 Committee Members Present: Thomas O'Hara, Mary LeBlanc, Walter Yarosh, Robert Nelson (Mr. Nelson exited the meeting at 8:50) and Lee Gurney. Summary Clover Paving—Applicant to return with landscape plans and revised building plans Site Plan and Landscape Review Clover Paving 759 Falmouth Road Applicant: Michael Borselli Attorney Brian Garner, Daren McDonald and Michael Borselli presented plans showing some modifications to the building. There was discussion about leaving 4 to 5 inch diameter trees in the buffered area and brush cut the under story, the under story to be maintained yearly. The board felt that treating the buffered area in this manner was more attractive that leaving the buffer in its natural state. The rock wall was shown on the plans,the board felt that it was long and would need to be broken up by some plantings on the bottom of the wall and evergreen trees on the top of the wall. The board did not see a formal landscape plan at this time. The building is 180 feet in length. It was felt that it needed to be broken up by either materials or by a false facade. It was clear they did not want it to look like a long steel building. The stone shown along the entire front of the building was not approved. It was felt that they needed to bump out portions of the building. Building plans were not approved. The turning radius was discussed to insure that the Fire Department could get their trucks around the building. Walter suggested that they show their plan to Fire Dept. They did not show dumpsters on the site plan and were reminded to move the location of the sign to 5 feet from the property line. Conclusion: Applicant to return showing the screening of the wall, dumpsters, on landscape plans and a revised set of building plans.
