February 16, 2000
Present: Bob Canning, Steve Edwards, Jon Eitelbach, Chuck Medchill,
Ron Wolanski, Jenny Wood
Absent: Bob Bersin
Formal Review, Staples, 136 Route 6A, Orleans Marketplace. Represented
by Todd Thayer, Scott Anthony of Cape Cod Management and Bob Fitzgerald,
engineer. A site plan dated 12/22/99, revised 2/9/00 and a landscape plan
dated 2/9/00 were submitted.
Bob Fitzgerald stated that the Zoning Board of Appeals had voted against the
additional curb cuts. The applicants have decided to widen the existing curb
cut near Willy's Gym. A Fire Lane is shown on the plan, with a gate and fence
by the hydrant. Parking has been reduced by a few spaces to widen the curb
cut, total spaces provided is now proposed to be 387.
Jon Eitelbach asked if Traffic Study should review the revised site plan. Steve
Edwards said he had spoke to Bob Bersin and Chief Stone regarding the curb
cut widening, and neither had any concerns. Bob Canning suggested a
formal site plan be filed with the Traffic Study Committee with time for them
to comment. All agreed. Ron Wolanski stated that Bob Bersin suggested
directional painting on the black top.
Jon Eitelbach asked if Brewer was changing location of electric line. Scott
Anthony reviewed underground electrical locations. Chuck Medchill
commented that the underground utilities, as changed, be shown on the site
plan.
Jon Eitelbach asked about plantings required in the Zoning Board of Appeals
decision. Todd Thayer said they were not directly written into the decision.
A 6' high stockade fence sited to offer safe site distance was required under
the decision. Mr. Thayer thought this was a trade-off for the 4' deep
plantings. Mr. Thayer commented that they would be willing to landscape
along the fence. Jon also asked if height of the pole lights were to be
reduced. Scott Anthony said no, but light will be directed downward and
away from condominiums.
Todd Thayer asked if they should withdraw from the formal review today,
modify landscaping plan and return. Alternatively, could contingent approval
be granted?
Jon recommended reviewing the items with the Zoning Board of Appeals.
They are meeting this evening. Mr. Thayer said he would not go to the
Zoning Board of Appeals without legal representation. Bob Canning asked if
approval from this committee on site plan would hold up occupancy for
building. Jon Eitelbach said no; the building permit would be separate.
Jennifer Wood offered to perform a site visit with the engineer for assistance
with the landscape plan.
Bob Canning asked if Staples would be using front septic system. Bob
Fitzgerald said yes. Bob asked about condensation run-off from roof
compressors. Scott Anthony said that condensation would run down roof
drain to existing drywell. Bob Canning also asked that Staples contact the
Health Department regarding food sales.
Scott Anthony asked for that in writing. Bob Canning said he would write a
letter to Staples, and send a copy to Cape Cod Management.
Jon asked that the location of sewer lines be checked. Bob Fitzgerald said
that he would. Jon asked about existing ejector pump. Scott Anthony said it
is abandoned.
Chuck Medchill requested that the fence have a jog of approximately 3'
behind the hydrant for access. Scott Anthony agreed.
Ron Wolanski requested a calculation on the landscaped area within the lot.
Minimum of 5%. Ron and Steve Edwards requested signage at the widened
curb cut; keep right, stop signs.
