Notice of the hearing was given by sending notice thereof to the Petitioner and all those owners of property as required by law, and to the public by posting notice of the hearing and publishing in The Cape Cod Times. The hearing opened and was held on the date stated above. The petitioner is the Town of Yarmouth which seeks to modify Special Permit Number 1936 which granted approval to use property located at 482 Buck Island Road, West Yarmouth, MA for recreational use. This property is in a R-40 zoning district and within the Aquifer Protection District. Specifically, the petition seeks to replace an existing 2500 square -foot playground with an inclusive playground (less than 9000 ft.z) and a splash pad facility. The plan was well explained by Ms. Amanda Lima, Town Engineer, who answered all of the Board's questions satisfactorily. All members of the Board were in agreement that the new Park will not only allow for more people to attend but also will be inclusive for persons with disabilities. The playground will be an upgrade to a more modern facility which will include a "splash pad". The completed Park will include a splash pad with an excellent plan for water recapture and treatment along with appropriate erosion control for water runoff from the facility to adjacent properties. The proposal was vetted by way of a Site Plan Review which cited 2 concerns about the size of the parcel remaining under 1 acre and that the stormwater management be submitted for approval and permitted. Several people spoke primarily so as to obtain information rather than to support or oppose the project. No exhibits were received at the hearing. The Board listened to the concerns of those that spoke and identified its own concerns. Mr. Igoe raised concerns about the available parking. Mr. DeYoung raised concerns about people not parking on the side of the roadway. A neighbor raised concerns about the safety of people crossing the street at that location. All concerns were addressed within the decision. Though proximate to a residential area, the Board believed that the grant of the modification to the Special Permit as requested by the petitioner would not cause any undue hazard, nuisance nor congestion nor would it be detrimental to the current or future character of the neighborhood or 3 Bk 35417 Pg344 #50358 Town, provided certain conditions were added to the amendment. These conditions are as follows: L That the hours of operation of the splash pad be limited to 9 AM to dusk; 2. That No Parking signs be installed along both sides of Buck Island Road in the area of the entrance to the Park so as to forestall people from parking on the shoulder of the road; 3. That room for 50 parking spaces be designated as "Future Reserved Parking Spaces"; 4. That a crosswalk be added to allow safe crossing of pedestrians from the side of Buck Island Road adjacent to the entrance to the Park; 5. That all plantings as shown on the planting plan be installed prior to occupancy; 6. That a determination be made as to the maximum occupancy of the site once the new construction has been completed and that the Town assure that this maximum occupancy is not exceeded; that the petitioner has the Board of Health review any changes to the construction of the Park differing from that as shown on the plans submitted to the Board and that any substantial change be reviewed by this Board; 7. That the petitioner obtain the Board of Health input as to whether there is any effect on the Aquifer Protection District due to this proposed change of use and, if so, that the petitioner return to this Board with any suggestions made by the Board of Health; and there be a review before this Board with the petitioner present one year following completion of the Park. A motion was made by Mr. Martin, seconded by Mr. Fraprie to approve the modification of Special Permit number.1936 by adding these conditions. On this motion made and seconded the Board proceeded with a roll call vote as follows: Mr. Martin -Aye; Mr. Igoe -Aye; Mr. DeYoung-Aye; Mr. Mantoni- Aye; and Mr. Fraprie-Aye.
