SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMENT SHEET
• Formal Review SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMENT SHEET Date: March 7, 2023 Map:88 Lot: 94 Applicant: Coastal Medical Transportation Services Location: 0 Forsyth Ave Zone: B-1/APD Persons Present: Kathy Williams Kevin Huck Mark Grylls John Lavelle Sara Porter(DRC) Rich Quirk Carl Lawson Amanda Lima Matt Bearse Project Summary Construction of 9680 sf transportation services building with septic system, drainage system, paved parking lot with 28 parking spaces, associated grading, utilities, site lighting and landscaping. Comments Building: Project is located in the B1 zoning district as well as the APD overlay. Use is categorized in the NAICS code as#485991- Special Needs Transportation. Based on this, the use is identified in 01 the Zoning Bylaw as an F2 use and will require a Use Variance for use in the B1 and APD overlay districts. Building plans show very little detail and are incomplete. Rooms not identified. All construction to comply with 780 CMR and appendant codes. Site plans do not show compliance with buffer and in lot tree requirements of sections 301.4.4 and 301.4.5. Buffer trees not shown on plan.. In lot trees not dispersed. Planting schedule does not match the plan. Photometric plan not included for-- review. Ridge height must be confirmed. Several different dimensions provided for proposed ridge height. ll �^'community Development and Planning: The SPR application materials included a modification to the front office area per the request of the Design Review Committee. This is an improvement over the general warehouse style form originally proposed. Recommend making the canopy more proportional to the building (currently very tall and narrow). Concur with comments below from Design Review. Impacts to the site related to plantings and underground utility services (electric and gas) should be included in the total disturbed area related to stormwater permitting. Conservation: 42,900 square feet is currently below the threshold for a stormwater management application- if any modifications are made to increase the land disturbance above 43,560, a stormwater management permit application will be required. it> Design Review: See attached Design Review Committee Comment Sheet dated February 7, 2023. The office/porch area was revised from Design Review. Th Porch as presented at SPR is out of proportion, suggest lowing it so the bottom of the horizontal portion of the porch matches the top of the windows and widen the porch. Suggest changing the roof pitch of the office section to 5:12 pitch rather than the shallower 4:12 shown. See attached sketch. Engineering; neral Comments • Coordinate with DPW for proposed address change to Old Townhouse Road with future projects on the parcel. • Proposed curbing within right of way shall be granite in lieu of PCC. • Suggest increasing binder course to 2.5"to accommodate larger vehicles. Drainage • Provide stormwater operations and maintenance plan • Drawing C 4.00: confirm property boundary offset is sufficient from the sediment forebay location. Fire: Sprinkler and fire alarm system required, Fire department connection proposed appears good at this time, Direct access to sprinkler room or PIV required, fire department lock box required for access to building. Recessed lock box to be purchased and installed by contractor. Fire department access per Chapter 18 of 527 CMR 1, CO protection needed for office area, any overnight sleeping may add requirements per 780 CMR Health: (__ -- Toxic or Hazardous Materials The project must comply with the Town of Yarmouth, Board of Health Regulation: Handling and Storage of Toxic or Hazardous Materials, which includes, but is not limited to 150% volume secondary containment of all materials and annual Board of Health licensing. The site plan review application does not contain a reply beneath the heading "List of all Hazardous Materials and Quantities". Site Layout Plan, Sheet 3.0 indicates a "Proposed Transportation Service Building" to house up to 21 ambulances. Please state whether toxic or hazardous materials will be present to support the vehicles. If the handling and storage of such materials is proposed, list the types, container sizes, quantities, and secondary containment methods for both new and waste materials. Industrial Waste Water Holding Tank Baxter & Nye Sheet Number C5.1 lists the outer holding tank as 2500-gallons in size in the top note on the left and 2000-gallons in size in the bottom notes on the right and left sides. Please revise and list the same size in all locations. The plan also needs an engineer's stamp. Site Plan review—Septic Design 3/7/23 Coastal Medical Transportation 0 Forsythe Ave MAP/LOT 88 Parcel 94 If noted during installation, remove unsuitable material to a distance of 5' around leaching field. Both D-Box and Septic tank H-20 Both D-Box and Septic Tank to be placed on 6" of crushed stone. Prior to backfilling, notify Health Office for inspection. Water: Domestic and fire services must be separate taps on the 12-inch main in Old Town House Road.

Persons Present: DCR Members Present Yarmouth Town Staff Present Guests Charlie Adams Kathy Williams _ John Lavelle, Baxter-Nye Steve O'Neil Rich Quirk, Coastal Medical Sara Porter DRC Review for this project started at: 4:17 PM DRC Review for this project and DRC meeting of February 7, 2023 ended at: 4:53 PM On a motion by Sara Porter,seconded by Charlie Adams, the Design Review Committee(DRC) voted (3-0) to adjourn the February 7, 2023 DRC meeting at 4:53 PM. Project Summary General Description: The Applicant is proposing to construct a 9,680 square foot (sf) transportation services building with 3,000 sf of office space and 6,680 sf interior vehicle storage area for up to 21 ambulance vehicles. Site work will include new septic system bituminous parking lot and driveway, site lighting and landscaping Summary of Presentation: John Lavelle gave an overview of the ambulance storage building and office space. The project has 28 paved parking spaces and landscaping along with new septic and drainage. A new enclosed dumpster is proposed. The building meets the zoning setbacks Landscaping includes buffer and in-lot trees along with shrubs and ground cover. The drainage forebay is for treatment and conveyed into underground infiltration structures. Mr. Quirk briefly went over the building materials, noting the use the fiberboard panels to look like shingles in the office area and insulated metal panels with smooth side for the warehouse portion of the building in the rear. DRC Questions & Discussions: Charlie Adams asked if there would be any vehicle repairs on site, Mr. Quirk indicated no. Mr. Adams asked about the number of vehicles in the building with Mr. Quirk noting typically 10- 12 ambulances at nighttime, indicating the warehouse is a little larger to take into consideration fitting up new ambulances. Ms. Porter suggested that the office portion of the building be treated very differently than the rest of the building, noting the Johnstone Supply building on Whites Path. She felt the canopy is not enough of a distinction with the rest of the warehouse building. Mr. Adams also thought the Johnston Supply looked good and would be more attractive for the Coastal Medical building and for representing the company. Mr. Quirk noted that he wanted to make it look nice. Sara Porter showed a sketch of how the roof could be modified with a steeper roof in the office with an entry porch in proportion to the building. Mr. Quirk noted they want to retain as much buffer vegetation in the front as they are not trying to attract customers to the property. Sara Porter felt that you can make a nice metal building. Mr. Lavelle noted the stone veneer to cover the concrete. Kathy Williams indicated there is not a lot of foundation showing and it could be concrete with foundation planting in the front. Mr. O'Neil was in agreement about modifications to the office area. Sara Porter noted that instead of shutters, utilize thicker trim boards.

Besides the front canopy, the office area shape is the same as the warehouse and is differentiated from the warehouse section by a change in materials(insulated metal siding to fiber cement shingles),a short section of brick veneer wainscoting, and the addition of windows with shutters. The building is a typical warehouse structure to be located in a B1 zoning district. Additional effort should be made to the office portion of the building facing Old Town House Road. This section does not require the roof height of the warehouse portion and could be significantly improved by having a more traditional roof pitch, bringing down the wall heights, and having a lower, deeper front porch entrance, and no shutters but thicker trim boards. The stone veneer doesn't appear necessary as there is little foundation exposed and there are foundation planting shown.
