John Kenney_ Carl Lawson Kurt Raber Dep. Kevin Huck John Lavelle U. Matt Bearse Bruce Murphy Laurie Ruszala Prolect Summary Proposed 11,360 sf contractor bay building with 11 units, paved parking lot with 33 spaces, new stormwater management system, septic system, landscaping, lighting, and associated grading and utilities. Comments Building.- Project is located in zoning district B-3 and the APD overlay district_ Disturbance area is calculated, and the applicant must file an application for a Stormwater Management Permit with the Yarmouth Conservation Commission. The raise and replace of the building appears to meet the setback requirements. The proposed parking is located in from of the building relief from the ZBA will be required for parking location per Section 301.2. There are no in lot trees indicated on the plan as required per section 301.4.6. Sheet C4.0 indicates that swales will be located in the front buffer area as required per section 301.4.4. Planting schedule on page L4 indicates trees / plantings will be in the drainage swale. I have questions regarding the effectiveness of the swale over time as these plantings mature. Is there an alternative to the swale locations? Lighting plan appears adequate; however, plan does not provide a detail of the lighting fixtures to be used. It must be noted that per section 301.4.10, all lighting shall be directed onsite only, with no undue glare affecting adjoining properties. Please be sure that all lighting to include building and site faces the ground There are no potential tenants / occupants identified at this time. All occupants will be required to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Dept. prior to occupancy. The application for all occupancies shall be reviewed by Building, YFD, and Health. All construction to comply with all applicable sections of TOY Zoning Bylaws, 780 CMR and appendant codes. Planning: The project is located near the end of Mid Tech Drive (a dead-end road) with similar style uses and buildings in the area. 1. With parking located mostly in front of the building and a general utilitarian building, front buffers are an important design element. The proposed project includes the elimination of at least 17 larger buffer trees along Mid -Tech Drive, mainly to install the drainage swales (please note the landscape plan shows about 5 more existing trees being removed than the civil plans which should be clarified.) The Landscape plan does show the front being relandscaped with trees and some shrub groups (trees should be native species, a minimum of 3" caliper spaced every 20'). Although the shrub groupings may be helpful in screening the parking in the front, longitudinal utilities should not be placed within the required front buffers as it necessitates the removal of larger established existing trees, contrary to Sections 301.4.4 & 301.4.9. 2. Any buffer plantings required by the Bylaw should all be located on the subject property. The Landscape Plan (included with the architectural plans) shows some proposed plantings within the road right-of-way. 3. In -lot trees need to be dispersed throughout the paved surface per Section 301.4.6. Trees along the outside perimeter of the parking area are not considered in -lot trees. 4. Recommend fencing be black coated vinyl rather than galvanized chain link. 5. Project has more than one acre of land disturbance and a Stormwater Management Permit is required through the Conservation Commission. Conservation: Desl n Review: Refer to the attached August 2, 2022 Design Review Comment Sheet Enaineerina: • Engineering defers detailed stormwater review for the Stormwater Management Permit as noted previously. • Suggest relocating bioswales away from landscaping buffers. • Specify which pavement detail will be used for pavement areas. • Clean, inspect and repair as necessary existing drainage to be repurposed towards the rear of the parking lot. It appears it may have been installed in 2016. Please confirm. • File road opening permit at DPW for curb cut modifications. Provide loam & seed for driveway to be abandoned.

Health: All prospective tenants must consult with the Health Dept. for approval of their proposed use and to obtain any required licenses or permits before renting and occupying units. Any use or storage of toxic or hazardous materials requires prior Health Dept. approval. Toxic or hazardous materials storage in excess of 10 gallons requires a Board of Health license. Toxic or hazardous materials storage in excess of 20 gallons requires a Board of Health license and zoning relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Such relief is not guaranteed. All toxic and Hazardous materials storage requires 150% volume secondary containment in addition to other requirements. All outdoor storage of materials including, but not limited to those used in landscaping, require Health Dept. review and approval. Vehicle washing operations are not allowed onsite either inside or outside of any building. Regarding engineered plan Sheet Title: Grading and Drainage Plan; Sheet No. C4.0, dated December 10, 2021, under Operation and Maintenance Plan note 8 A, the note should be revised to indicate vehicle washing is not allowed onsite either inside or outside of any building. Regarding engineered plan Sheet Title: Septic Profile and Details Plan; Sheet No. C5.1, dated December 10, 2021: (1) The notes next to the indicated holding tank control panel should be revised to include mention of the alarm and indicator lights for the leak detection system. (2) Under Industrial Wastewater Holding Tank Design Notes, the sizing calculation needs to be revised to include the unit of time for the calculation and compare the result of the calculation to the size of the holding tank. (3) Under Tank Note 1 310 CMR 18 should be revised to 314 CMR 18 Industrial Wastewater Holding Tank and Container Construction, Operation and Record Keeping Requirements. (4) The primary holding tank and secondary containment tank must be waterproofed and noted as such on Sheet C5.1 as required by 314 CMR 18. (5) All refences to the 2500-gallon secondary containment tank must indicate H-20 construction. (6) Inner and outer holding tank covers must be in alignment with each other as indicated on plan. (7) Inner holding tank cover must have cover indicated over inlet. (8) The 75% level high water indicator float must have the vertical distance measurement from the bottom of the tank indicated. (9) Indicate the height from the bottom of the tank of the leak detection float. (10) Sign reading "NON-HAZRDOUS INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER" must be present on building in location adjacent to holding tank and indicated on plan. (11) How will the holding tank alarm be monitored since it is only in one unit? Is the floor pitch to the floor drains indicated on the foundation plan? The plans make two references to a 1000-gallon holding tank and one reference to a 1500- gallon holding tank as listed below. Sheet Title: Utilities Plan, Sheet No. C5.0, dated December 10, 2021 indicates "1000 gallon dual containment industrial wastewater holding tank." Sheet Title: Septic Profile and Details Plan; Sheet No. C5.1, dated December 10, 2021 under Industrial Wastewater Holding Tank Design Notes states "(1) 1000 gallon precast tank inside of 2500 gallon precast concrete tank." Sheet Title: Septic Profile and Details Plan; Sheet No. C5.1, dated December 10, 2021 the note next to indicated tank states "Dual Containment Tank Shall Consist of H-20 1500 Gallon Monolithic Precast Concrete Primary Holding Tank..." Please indicate in all three places the correct size of the holding tank. The design engineer must (1) complete the DEP holding tank compliance certification form and provide a copy to the Health Dept. and (2) submit a holding tank certification letter to the Health Dept. Water: Please show the exiting 12-inch water main on the utility plan as it is close to your work. In addition, please note that the nould e service for 211 Mid -Tech is back tapped on the 12-inch main, therefore is closer to the proposed drainage basin than be expected. Water service installation should be installed by an Approved Contractor in accordance with the Yarmouth Water Materials and Installation Standards. Read & Received by Applicant(s)
