The project purpose is to modernize the existing warehouse/distribution center building and site as described in more detail below. The project site consists of a large single parcel of land containing 17.7 acres. The parcel is located within the Business District, B-3 and Watershed Protection Overlay district. No change in use of the property is proposed. No portion of the project occurs within a FEMA 100-year floodplain (Zone X). A review of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program (NHESP) GIS data layer indicate that there are no Estimated/Priority habitats or rare-listed wetland, or upland wildlife or vegetation designated within the project vicinity, including vernal pools. There are no onsite wetland resource areas or offsite wetland resource areas within 100’ of the property, nor other special resource areas including Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) or Outstanding Resource waters (ORW). The site is improved with an existing single-story steel and masonry building approximately 156,000 square feet in size. The building is subdivided into three (3) condominium units. Unit 1 contains approximately 46,000 square feet and comprises the front portion of the building. Unit 2 contains approximately 42,500 square feet and Unit 3 contains approximately 37,500 square feet comprise the remaining portion of the building. Units 2 and Unit 3 together comprise the project premises, Unit 1 is not part of the proposed project. Access to the site is gained from a single driveway entrance from White’s Path, located in the northwest corner of the site. Paved parking and loading areas are in the westerly portion of the site, adjacent to the centrally located building. The remaining portions of the site consist of naturally wooded and landscaped areas. The proposed project will modernize the interiors of Units 2 and 3 to better serve the warehouse/distribution use, including new van loading area, screening area, and staff support and administrative spaces. Two (2) vehicular ramps are proposed to provide access to interior parking and to facilitate sorting and loading of packaging. No changes to the footprint of the building or to the overall area of the building are proposed. Site improvements proposed include new paved parking for vans, paved areas reserved for trailers and automobile parking. The single driveway access from White’s Path will continue to be used without alteration. Moreover, there are no changes proposed to the existing access and parking/loading facilities from White’s Path to a point approximately 450 feet into the site as this area is generally reserved for Unit 1. The proposed improvements have been positioned on the site to provide considerable natural or landscaped buffers to adjacent properties. In lot trees and perimeter trees are proposed to enhance screening. Existing and new paved surfaces will be striped and site lighting will be installed in conformance with the Town’s requirements for mounting height and intensity. Stormwater management improvements are proposed, incorporating deep sump/hooded catch basins, oil/grit separators, water quality units, and a replacement retention/recharge basin. These best management practices will improve water quality and provide treatment, flood control and groundwater recharge. Refer to the attached Stormwater Report and Project Plans for a detailed description of the stormwater management improvements that are proposed as part of this project. In accordance with Section 145 of the Code of the Town of Yarmouth, the proposed project will require a Stormwater Management Permit as the project will disturb land area equal to or greater than one (1) acre. The project has recently been reviewed by the Town of Yarmouth Site Plan Review Team and comments received are included in this Stormwater Management Permit application. Approval has also been received from the Cape Cod Commission for a Minor Modification of their 1992 Development of Regional Impact Decision.

On the exterior, 2 new vehicle access ramps are proposed on the west façade of the building. Site improvements to include new paved area for 25 vans and 20 trailers, replacement of the infiltration basin and addition of water quality unit, landscaping and lighting. Comments Building: Project is located in the B-3 / APD overlay district. Applicant seeks to modify the structure to allow interior parking / loading and an increase to the outdoor parking area. The original ZBA decision, #2856 allowed for F3, trucking and warehousing use of the entire property. Interior parking will likely require compliance with 248 CMR MA State Plumbing Gas Code, section 10.09 regarding floor drains. Parking area upgrades appear to meet the standard of section 301 of the zoning bylaw. Stormwater Management Permit through Con Com will be required. All proposed construction to comply with 780 CMR and appendant codes. Community Development and Planning: As some of the project components (parking for vans and tractor trailers) will be occurring closer to the southern property line (Cape Cod Rail Trail and residential properties), applicant should ensure robust screening and adequate noise attenuation from trucks backing up. Depending upon the thickness of the vegetation to remain, supplemental plantings and or fencing may be required. The minor modification to the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) submitted to the Cape Cod Commission (CCC) included a traffic report showing that the project will not exceed the maximum traffic volumes outlined in the 1992 DRI approval. However, the problem with allowing for traffic increases based on a DRI from 1992 is it doesn't take into consideration the background increases that have happened over time. The analysis back in 1992 may have shown one level of impact based on the proposed project traffic increases, but the impacts will be much more exacerbated based on our increased traffic levels over the past 30 years. Applicant should adhere to the amended DRI requirements including implementing the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program and any ongoing traffic monitoring requirements and provide the information to the Town. Conservation: Not present. A stormwater permit is required from the Conservation Commission. Design Review: Not present. Engineering: • Drainage o Existing catch basins & piping to be retained shall be cleaned, inspected and repaired as needed. o Tight tank location has close proximity to CB with RIM 36.8.

DMH Rim 37.2 heading east. o Provide stormwater O&M plan as part of the stormwater submission to Conservation. ire: Evaluation of fire alarm and sprinkler system by design professional.
