INFORMAL REVIEW(Continued): Orleans Enterprises, Inc. (d/b/a Orleans Toyota owned by
Jack Carter), 16 O'Connor Lane
Attorney Andrew Singer and Jack Carter were present for this meeting. Meservey stated that this
application was reviewed by the Cape Cod Commission due to a discrepancy between the plan that was
previously exempted from Cape Cod Commission review and the plan received by the Town of Orleans
for review. The Cape Cod Commission's Regulatory Committee voted to affirm their exemption of any
Development of Regional Impact review at the County level. Meservey noted that the applicant has
addressed all issues that were previously raised. The applicant noted that this application is scheduled for
review by the Zoning Board of Appeals on September 20, 2006. There were no significant comments
from the Site Plan Review Committee members.
MOTION: On a motion by Bill Quinn, seconded by Jenny Wood, the Committee noted the Cape Cod
Commission affirmation of the exemption of this application from Development of Regional Impact
review, and voted to approve the Formal Site Plan application dated May 26, 2006 revised June 12, 2006
for Orleans Enterprises, Inc. (d/b/a Orleans Toyota owned by Jack Carter), located at 16 O'Connor Lane.
VOTE: 5-0-1 The motion passed by a majority. (Pat Ballo abstained).
FORMAL REVIEW: Bill Yuen2lin2, 148 Route 6A(former Lot Cabin farms property)
Stephanie Sequin(Ryder& Wilcox)presented the Site Plan Review Committee with a new proposal plan
splitting ten apartments between 3 buildings (as opposed to the 2 buildings previously proposed), with an
increase to 1,516 square feet of proposed retail space. Sequin stated that a hardened surface (possibly
with future landscaping)is proposed to provide adequate access for emergency vehicles. Parking
configurations have been made in order to maintain a 75' buffer between all buildings and the wetland.
Sequin stated that this Site Plan has been reviewed and approved by the Conservation Commission with
an Order of Conditions. Sequin stated that the access driveway has been straightened out to meet
existing curb cut to meet the requirements of the proposed increased retail space. Sequin noted that the
existing driveway cuts across a small triangular piece of an abutting property, and Yuengling has an
accepted offer to purchase that piece of property, thus causing both properties to be in the same ownership
and according to Sequin, they will remain in the same ownership.
Sequin noted that the parking calculations now include garage spaces and with 31 outside spaces and 10
garaged parking spaces which total 41 parking spaces provided(well over the 32 parking spaces that are
required). Sequin stated that a new water main is shown on the plan and will connect with the adjacent
condominium property. The timber wall issue will be resolved, according to Sequin.
