John O'Reilly reviewed the issues from the November 15th meeting. The two

note has been added to the plan stating that the two lots in common ownership,
changes to ownership of either lot will negate approvals from the Town. A

O'Reilly stated that a receptacle inside the building can be designated for paper
goods and other garbage.
George Meservey asked if there were questions in the audience.
The interveners/residents expressed concerns regarding the combination and
use of the lots, and questioned if the plan being reviewed here was
misrepresented to the Cape Cod Commission and the Board of Health.
Phil Magnuson stated that access had always been shown over the abutting lot.
The building on the abutting lot is currently an office and that use will not change.
George Meservey stated that the committee will send a copy of the approved site
plan to the Cape Cod Commission, to allow them the opportunity to re-review, if
necessary.
Bob Canning was asked if this plan met the site assessment by the Board of
Health. He commented that the access to the site was shown on adjoining lot
during the site assessment; and that the Board had reviewed the "handling" of
debris, access and weighing were not included in the assessment. He will be
submitting the formal site plan to the Board of Health for their approval.
Additional questions and concerns were raised; those relating to Site Plan
Review were addressed by the committee.
Motion: Chuck Medchill made a motion to accept the plan as the formal
plan with the designation of a garbage receptacle.
Discussion: Date of the plan should be included and letter to Cape Cod
Commission should be noted.

Informal Review, Dr. William Scheier, 56 Eldredge Park Way, addition.
Represented by John O'Reilly, engineer, and Dr. Scheier, owner.
Steve Edwards commented that the Town and Fire Department are abutters to
this property.
The building is located in a residential zone, pre-existing non-conforming use.
Addition will hold lab areas, operatory and consultation rooms. Parking to be
better defined on the lot; after reviewing the parking, John O'Reilly commented
that there will be enough spaces. The owner is requesting gravel instead of
pavement. No drainage to be added, lot slopes and drains into kettle type
depression. Lot coverage meets the By-law. Existing septic to be modified for
increase in use.
Jenny Wood had no comments.
Chuck Medchill asked about the lab use and commented that he would need to
see plumbing plans to check for cross connections and the need for backflow
preventers. All utilities must be shown on the plan.
Bob Canning commented that the Board of Health would have to review the
septic design. He asked about the fence; John O'Reilly stated the fence is
existing; existing septic tank is H2O rated.
Bob Bersin said that he may have no problem with leaving the drainage; he will
discuss with the engineer. He asked if the easterly entrance could be eliminated.
Dr. Scheier said possibly. Bob will also discuss with engineer.
Steve Edwards commented that fire code issues will be addressed under the
Building Code.
Brian Harrison said a Special Permit or Variance will be required. Screening
should be added to West property line or add to the Special Permit request from
the Zoning Board of Appeals.
George Meservey commented that parking is closer than 10' to property line;
should be relocated or Special Permit/Variance requested. Lighting should be
box type directed downward with no spillover.
