The petitioner is Bill Crean, Cape & Islands Golf Carts, LLC, who seeks a Special Permit per §202.5 to allow H-4 use at property located at 50 Long Pond Drive, South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. This property is located in the B2 zoning district. Mr. Crean intends to engage in the sale and/or lease of electric -powered bicycles and electric - powered recreational motor vehicles (i.e., golf carts) at this location, which requires a Special Permit within the 132 zoning district. Representing the property owner landlord at the hearing was Cecelia Carey, a real estate broker for Carey Commercial Inc. Ms. Carey testified that the Unit C tenant would have exclusive use of two designated areas: 1) -.20 feet in front of Unit C with 4 parking spaces; and 2) -.50 feet to the easterly side of Unit C with 4 parking spaces. However, the golf carts are not the same dimensions as the parking spaces. The business is a new venture for Mr. Crean. He has not yet signed a lease, but testified that he signed a letter of intent to lease Unit C at 50 Long Pond Drive. Unit C has approximately 2,000 square feet of space, a concrete floor, and double doors wide enough to transfer the vehicles into and out of the unit. Mr. Crean did not know what his expected sales would be, but testified that he expected sales to be brisk. He did not have a floor plan to show how many electric vehicles would be inside the building. Mr. Crean plans to display some vehicles in front of Unit C and some vehicles within Unit C. The vehicles would be charged from a standard wall outlet in the unit. There would not be an electric vehicle charging station. Mr. Martin noted that the building at 50 Long Pond Drive was constructed at a time when trees would have been required. The Site Plan, dated February 18, 1986, shows a planting area, but the property is missing trees in the front and missing in -lot trees in the parking lot. The Board agreed that the landscape buffers should be upgraded. The Board also had concerns about the lack of detailed information, such as a plan indicating the tenant's space in the building, the areas exclusive to the tenant, the number and location of the vehicles on display, and the number and location of vehicles stored outside overnight. The Board discussed granting a Special Permit, including a condition that the petitioner provide more information. Depending on the information received, the petitioner may need to return to the Board. After further discussion and deliberation, the Board agreed to grant a Special Permit for H-4 use with the following conditions: 1. The Special Permit will not issue until the Zoning Board of Appeals is satisfied with a Site Plan that shows: a. where trees are or will be planted (i.e., 3 trees along Long Pond Drive; 5 trees within the parking lot as originally required) b. where the petitioner's business is located in the building c. the exclusive use area for this business, including the dedicated parking spaces d. where the vehicles will be displayed during business hours e. where the vehicles will be stored overnight 2. Hours of operation: 8am-9pm. 3. During the hours of operation, no more than 6 vehicles will be displayed in front of the petitioner's store (Unit C). All other vehicles parked outside of the building will be parked behind the front corner of the building. 4. Outside the hours of operation, all vehicles parked outside the building will be parked behind the front corner of the building. A motion was made by Mr. Fraprie, which was seconded by Mr. Mantoni, to grant the Special Permit with the stated conditions. On a voice vote (5-0), the motion was approved. No permit shall issue until 20 days from the filing of this decision with the Town Clerk. Appeals from this decision shall be made pursuant to MGL c40A section 17 and must be filed within 20 days after filing of this notice: decision with the Town Clerk. Unless otherwise provided herein, the Special Permit shall lapse if a substantial use thereof has not begun within 24 months.
