proposed to be constructed over a lot line common to both lots, the two lots shall be combined by plan or deed,
and such plan or deed shall be recorded at the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds. Copies of the recorded
information shall be submitted with any building permit application.
Bugle: read through the zoning change recommended by the Planning Board and provided the purpose of the
change. Opened to the Board.
Robert Evans: A&E Architect - has a uiient that is considering buying an adjunct lot. The lot is grandfathered
under zoning bylaws does that mean that they would need to go to zoning?
Leven: it is not a combining of the lots -they would have to do a 81X or combine the lots
Stephen Jones: town has ongoing process of combining lots by deed?
Leven: she was not sure about what the problems are but you could just do a plan and record that. She would
check with the assessor's office.

Representing the Selectmen: Greg Levasseur
Levasseur: Provided an overview of the change. The change would be needed to be made in order to finance the
life of the unit.
Bugle: Opened to the Board.
Taylor: explain #4
Levasseur: some of the financing by CVEC -backup position
McMullen: sounds reasonable and should be recommend
Bugle: Opened to Public
Elbert Uleshoeffer: Question on how this works: The permit is valid for 25 years and only for the applicant; the
10th year the turbine is abandoned -what happens. Should the words be changed to include the abandonment of
the turbine?
Tubman: isn't there somewhere else in the bylaw that would address~the abandonment
Levasseur: at this point the Selectmen think this is the only change necessary -town counsel, and the energy
company reviewed and they felt these were the only changes necessary
Bugle: if we do this for 25 years then perhaps later on we should make some changes on the life
Taylor: perhaps we should revisit but she thought we were covered because we hold a bond for the life of the
turbine.
Jones: recognized it is not part of the addition or changes -question #4 it can't be reassigned
Bugle: agreed to the change. No further public comments.

3. ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT/Sign Regulations
ARTICLE NO. #: To see if the Town will vote to amend the Town of Brewster Zoning By-laws Article VI (Signs)
by adding a new Section 179-20.3 entir, ed "A-frame signs for any business", as follows:
179-20.3 A-Frame signs for any business
A. One A-frame sign is permitted, not to exceed eight square feet in area on a side.
B. A-frame signs to be located within an historic district must receive approval from the appropriate local or
regional historic district commission.
C. Permits for A-frame signs run from June 1 to May 31 and must be renewed annually.
Bugle: any comments from the Board.
Taylor: reviewed the changes from counsel.
Bugle: the change was in reference to the road footprint. The article that the PB advertised did not have the
change. It went into the paper to make it legal. HDC was concerned about the original article -and this was
feedback they received. The Board had not authority to act in the road footprint. The article as it is written is not
lawful. The HDC supersedes the town.
Leven: the article can't be amended without a public hearing. The original language doesn't address anything
about the roadway it is common sense that a sign needs to be on your property. 40A section 5 says specifically
that what can be altered. Town counsel feels it needs to be pulled and put forward in the fall.
Bugle: the PB can't say - PB can't allow anything in the roadway. We can't go forward with something that is not
lawful. When the Planning Board chang~~d the article then it became a Planning Board article. Dropping one line
is not going to be misleading - strongly c isagrees with counsel on this.
McMullen: we are losing sight of why this is going forward - we are going another summer without getting this
straightened out -thinks we should go ahead and would welcome comment from the business community
Barnard: 2 points -this article got defeated in Nov. 2"d point Harwich is taking a different approach -they are
looking at other ways to attract business - he doesn't think the Board has given enough thought as to what is good
and what is really going to work.
Bugle: regarding the legal aspect -because this was defeated - there a couple loopholes -the first being that the
PB can recommend that it goes forward.
Taylor: not in favor or signs but feels that we should look at neighboring towns to see how they are addressing.
Also, thinks it should go forward and let the citizens know what is up with it.
Tubman: not in favor - we are cluttering up a busy way and thought we were trying to get a handle on the signs
out there
McMullen: this doesn't mean that we can't revisit and or change in the fall
Bugle: would like to help the businesses
Kuzman: supports the business -temporary basis -not there for the long term -concerned about the look of the
signs
Bugle: did learn from the HDC-they have learned the importance of the sandwich boards for the success of the
business -HDC can't say they are in support that is against their regulations - If the town votes this in then they
would be forced to work with the Town.
Barnard: understand the economics of today and thinks the Board has not done anything to ensure that this
addresses the issue -what would the difference be if this doesn't go?
Planning Board Meeting Page 4 of 11
04-28-10
McMullen: the whole sign code needs to be addressed
Bugle: the sandwich signs will be coming down -the town, the whitecaps signs the library signs will be taken
down. This is a small step that should taken now
Barnard -doesn't think it is necessary and would vote no
Sumner: he worked with the Chamber and asked them to work with the Selectmen - he thinks it is flawed and he
would recommend that everyone meets with town counsel together and see if there is a way to put this forward.
Felt dialogue needs to happen
Lewis: question about the process -the article was submitted by the .BOS and referred by the BOS - it would
appear that the chair in consultation with another member decided to advertise without a line of the text - it
appears that there was an open meeting law violation. The whole board should have been consulted.
Taylor: it was not the Board's action
Bugle: felt it should not have gone forward because of the legal issue - he requested the BOS check with the
AG's office to make sure it was legal. Nothing was done
Lewis: thought the question was within a 2 year period - not a question on the right of way.
Bugle: need to cooperate not finger point -had to speak for himself - he thought the purpose to make sure that
the PB was not doing anything unlawful -protecting the Board
Uleshoeffer: point of criticism -generally you hear from the public before the Board - as a citizen this is a flawed
article - a zoning bylaw is for the aesthetic nature of the article 1 the proliferation of signs 2 the equity portion 3 the
aesthetic -the summary does not work -protecting the look of the town - it needs to work with the departments
and will have an approach -the size noted is 8 foot by side it coi ild be huge -must get approval of HDC -same
sign; sign on the property being advertised - 24 signs could be a: Foster Square -need to have all the parties
together and work on something that works for the community in general but not at the expense of the community.
Would like to indefinitely postpone it
Norm Michuad; president of the Chamber -given the legal questions -recommend that the,parties get together to
discuss and see if it can go forward - it has been documented over the past year that the sandwich signs did
generate additional revenue -don't forget that if the business are doing better then more tax dollars are going to
the town -they visit with the other Cape towns and everyone finds that sandwich signs work. The intent for the
sandwich signs is to have consistent signs -bring some order to advertise for the business - it is effective for the
businesses. They are as concerned about how the community looks and they feel that it is better to work with the
business, the town and HDC to create a sign that will be accepted. Currently the town has a mixed sign policy -
some look nice and some don't -some can be enforced and some can't. Hopes the town will support.
Barnard: it was the Director of the Harwich Chamber of Commerce -this Board has not spent any time figuring
out how it will be better for the business and the aesthetic of the town -what are alternative solutions that might be
out there
Bugle: 1 restaurant reported that when they put out a special dinner -they sell 35 dinners without the sign they
only sell 7
Peter Johnson: thinks the Chamber has done their due diligence -the Board has not -this is a flawed article - it
is a situation that is not going to change much over the next 6 months. The statement of distress may be
overstated -can help this community by ensuring the Board has Fully addressed the issue -hopes the Board
would reflect on that
McMullen: this has been talked about for years - we try to go forward with it once and the town has shot it down if
it is legal - have a session with the Chamber -let's give it a try
Planning Board Meeting Page 5 of 11
04-28-10
Bugle: if we go forward given the consequences of this article -doesn't think this is a huge deal - if this turns into
a disaster then the Board can address -Signs are going to be regulated, and attractive
Uleshoeffer: just a point of order -this public hearing is going forward then it is going forward -your position is to
support or not - it will happen whether it is going or not
Bugle: hoping that the public will support this article
Leven: this article would be effective as soon as the AG's office approves -this will still take time - HDC will have
to approve
McMullen: recommend the article to town Meeting -Taylor -second -Roll Vote - 4-2-0
Roll Call Vote:
Robert Bugle: Aye John McMullen: Aye
Robert Barnard No Elizabeth Taylor: Aye
Amber Tubman No Richard Kuzman: Aye
Bugle: so it is defeated.
Taylor - no you have the majority.
Bugle: oh, right - a simple majority is all you need to recommend -therefore is has passed
Taylor: requested to set up work meetin~ls in order to discuss these issues and be ready.
PUBLIC HEARING -Tree removal on a Scenic Roads: Tree Warden: Robert Bersin
1. Satucket Road -near intersection with Stony Brook Road

Remove 1 - 13" Ailanthus; Remove 1 - 18" Locust; Remove 1 - 16" Locust; Remove 1 -Double Cherry - 12"
and 14". Removal of these trees will improve the sight distance at this intersection. The work also calls for the
removal of brush and Ailanthus saplings from the improvement area.
3. Paines Creek Road @ Stony Brook Road
Remove 1 - 26" Locust; Remove 1 - 14" Ailanthus; Remove 1 -12" Ailanthus; Remove 1 - 4" Ailanthus.
Removal of these trees will improve the sight distance at this intersection. The work also calls for the removal of

Remove 1 -Double Poplar -18" and 22". This is a request by NStar to address a hazardous situation. The tree
was topped 'several years ago and has grown back into the open wires.
Present: Robert Bersin
Bersin: provided an overview of the treys that would be removed. He started with #4 and the need to cut from a
hazardous condition.
Bugle noted about the changes across the street -Bersin noted that those trees that are marked are on Rte 6A
and he has no control over them.
Barnard: the suckers have grown up into the lines
Taylor: are you cutting or replacing? Bersin -will cut down and replace with something.
Barnard: glad to hear that we are replacing.
Planning Board Meeting Page 6 of 11
04-28-10
Bersin: #3 - Paines Creek and Stony Brook -the roadway has to be closed and hot off the press are the plans
that went to Mass Highway that shows the reroute of traffic -Stony Brook and~Paines Creek is going to be a
difficult turn -the idea is to open up the intersection -there are a lot of trees that are going to be effected
Taylor: when? Bersin -the work is going to be done in the fall. Taylor - if this was done at this time of year it
would be disastrous due to the nesting Bersin -could clear some of the brush and improve the sight distance -
the long term goal is to improve the intersection.
Barnard: -reviewed those trees and they are pretty hacked up - it gets hacked up because of NStar being
topped - we have to recognize that NStar is going to be hacking -then we need to understand that if we take a
tree down then we plant a replacement in a smart way - On Scenic roads then let's replace on the side of the
way that there are utilities and create acanopy -find the most appropriate place for them.
Taylor: on the Locust is that the one that is dead? Or sight line? Bersin - it has holes in it and some sight line
issues.
Bugle: #2
Bersin: same discussion
Bugle: are there 2 Cherry Trees? Bersin: they are falling over and it is in the way -maybe they could plant
something on the person's property.
Johnson: new couple owns the property and they only come up on the weekends
Bugle: #1 Satucket
Bersin: would like to take down the Locust trees to allow the mowers to cut the area and improve the sight
distance
Barnard: the trees come down for the maintenance? Bersin: y.'s
Taylor: is there anyway to fix the NStar hacking? Bersin: NStar is coming back with a plan and they will
comment. Taylor -can they make recommendations? Bersin within reason
Barnard: should the Board's approval be contingent upon knowing what is going to be planted.
McMullen: don't think it requires another hearing -felt that Bersin would make appropriate recommendations
Bugle: HDC has some control
Bersin: will have a recommendation
Barnard: show something upfront - likes a canopy approach
Bugle: any public input - no comment
McMullen: any reason why HDC is not here
Bugle: requested that Jayanne send HDC a copy of the proposed changes

04-28-10
Present: Robert Bersin, DPW Director
Bersin: the engineer is putting together plans -there is a monitoring well out there -they have gone into the
well and can't find any groundwater -they have gone down 45 feet and haven't found anything -should they
dig a test well?
Bugle: any comments from the Board
Bersin: just trying to abide by the bylaw -not planning on working in the pit - he believes they are above 10
feet and wants to know what he should do
Barnard: on the Vb'QRC -they are pushing the operators and want to make sure that the Town is doing what
they need to
Tubman: if you are doing test pits 10-15 feet then you're ok
Bugle: the bylaw is 10 feet if you can prove that then it is ok
Tubman - if you go down 20 feet then you know you have 10 feet to dig -give us a level you are comfortable
with and then you are ok
Taylor -this is not in the Zone 2 -not required to go to WQRC
Bugle: fulfilled your obligation if you can prove you are above 10 feet.
Bersin -they will determine what 10 feet below is
Taylor: what are we using the pit for? Bersin: excess sand from the tennis courts - it is tough to get the trucks
out of the Pit
Bugle: The Board Agreed
LEGAL HEARING -Corridor Overlay Protection District - COPD #2010-09 Applicant: Robert Evans, A
& E Architects, Inc./Club Dry Dock -Owner: New England Fire Museum -Property is 1439 Main Street and
shown on Assessors' Map 24; Parcel 1. The applicant purposes to change of use: gift shop to meeting
house, add handicapped parking spaces (2) to rear of building and handicapped ramp.
Present: Robert Evans, A&E Architect; William Murphy -Trustee of Club Dry Dock
Evans: Provided an overview of the application and the plan. Club Dry Dock is anon-profit organization.
He noted that the organization had been before the ZBA (#09-10) and received an approval. He discussed
the requirements outlined in the zoning bylaw - a written narrative was provided with the application. They
feel this application meets the Town Zon ng Bylaw and should be approved.
Bugle: Read the Departmental Reviews and the questions brought forward. Opened to the Board.
McMullen: Parking regulations say - 1 space for every 3 occupants? Don't most people drive by
themselves?
Evans - 60% drive by themselves
Taylor: Had some questions about parking issues on the site. People are parking on Rte 6A -have you
measured the parking lot? And are you planning to delineate the parking spaces? How are you addressing
the no smoking ban? The noise issue -there are no meetings after 10pm?
Planning Board Meeting Page 8 of 11
04-28-10
Murphy: There are "No Parking" signs on Rte 6A, the trustees have voted a smoking ban on the premises;
there are no meetings after 10pm.
Barnard: Hearing that there are parking issues -what is going to happen in the'summer when it gets
busier?
Murphy: The noon time meeting is the most attended meeting. Some people do park around back.
Dry Dock is just the facilitator - it is a volunteer society.
Bugle: Club Dry Dock literally provides a roof and the different g oups run each meeting.
McMullen: The trees at the entrance - do they cause a sight line issue? Evans -doesn't think it is an issue.
Bugle: Read in the letter from an abutter not in support of the application. And then made his comments:
1. parking needs to be delineated and defined. This would help to get the parking under control. 2. The 6A
parking issue; 3. Any screening shielding your lot- some underbrush on the sides; suggested adding some
evergreens or shielding on the sides to deter the light and sound. 4. parking spots - is there anyway to add
any parking someplace else on the property? Murphy they rent only the "gift" shop portion of the property.
5. Don't really feel like you have a plan to handle the overflow of traffic. At the moment they have expanded
the number of people attending and this will increase and or decrease. He would like to see them find 15-20
additional parking spaces to accommodate the increase attendance.
McMullen: Drove up in there today - no other buildings are being used. He felt they should be able to
negotiate some additional parking with the owners. Overflow parking doesn't have to be paved -grass is ok
but needs to be delineated.
Taylor: Had heard that the numbers of trustees has decreased -have they thought of looking at another
location?
Murphy: The tried to look at a church but they haven't found anything that works for their schedule
Taylor: Delineate parking, show overflow parking and add some evergreens, encourage carpooling,
pleased about the non-smoking ban. A noise bylaw -neighbors can call the police
Leven: Noted the parking should be delineated; handicapped parking not sure if t-base is adequate; the
noon hour people who are working will be replaced with vacationers
Bugle: 10 x 20 parking spaces are required
Barnard: The scheduling of your meetings is there an overlap? Only one meeting on Friday ends at 6pm
and the next starts at 6:45
Dion Dugan: an abutter -unfortunate that Dry Dock can't find a better location that accommodates their
needs. He would tike to see that the Board set a maximum number of attendees to accommodate the
parking lot. You have a limited amount of parking -conservation area and the septic system. Doesn't think
they should expand the parking - it should be kept to the number of spaces that are available.
Amy Maloney: 1425 Main Street -abutter; the screening is a huge problem -smoking is occurring in the
back of the building -the yellow light, the people are still parking on 6A - it doesn't look like a residential
area. The noise -people show up early stay late; people leave their dogs in their cars; people are
screaming in the parking lot -would like to see the organization in another location.
Bugle: 7 am -7pm noise ordinance -the applicant must keep that in mind.
Barnard: Seems like the neighbors aren't having a great experience out there -the applicant needs to be a
good neighbor.
Planning Board Meeting Page 9 of 11
04-28-10
Leven: The Board has the permission to condition the approval but can't deny the use because it is an
allowed use.
Bugle: If a neighbor is having zoning issues then notify the Planning Board clerk and or go direct to the
Building Commissioner.
Evans: In the Club Dry bylaws alcohol is strictly prohibited. Evans would like to see a copy of the
complaints and let the trustees be notified and make decisions.
Taylor: littering also is included -but could trash cans be put out front
Murphy: Had not heard of these complaints or issues before and would be happy to address. They were
unaware of any issues and this is good feedback for them
McMullen: the ZBA gave them an approval -can the PB deny this approval.
Leven: the COPD is designed to review an application to ensure that if this fits within the town's
guidelines/environment.
McMullen: would suggest that they continue the hearing in order for the applicant to address the parking,
screening, noise, light.
Leven: the Board is within their right to ask for a parking plan, landscape plan -something to address the
concerns of the abutters.
Evans: we are talking about human nature here and agreed
Bugle: Requested that the applicant provide a landscape plan, additional parking - a plan on how
disturbances, the noise the lights -you are in a residential neighborhood and something needs to be done
to address this issue.
McMullen: Motion to continue this until June 9'h Seconded by Barnard. Vote: All Aye

shown was for parking. The dumpster is encroaching on the property line -the parking lots parked are not
done to 10 x 20 they are 8 x 16. The plan needs to match what is actually out there.
