Comments
�i�Buildin
Use requires modification to existing relief or new SP for the uses depicted on the plan.
Inflatable Park:
Cape Traveler motel consisted of several structures. The rear motel units were demolished in 2019. Parking was then
added without further review. The required buffer per section 301.4.4 and in lot trees per section 301.4.6 were not added
at the time that the new parking was created along the adjacent property. New parking for the proposed inflatable location
does not include in lot trees as required by 301.4.6. Vegetated buffer is required along the entire westerly property line
per 301.4.4 and 301.4.9. Install plantings or seek relief from these requirements via variance & or SP.
Entire site which consists of multiple lots is under the same management / ownership, however all lots shall comply with
301.4.9 and maintain 10' wide vegetated buffers between lots or seek relief in the alternative as it relates to both projects.
Salty's Site:
Appears to meet the standard of 301.4.9 regarding buffers at the southerly and easterly boundaries.
All work to comply with 780 CMR and appendant codes.

't—�Pla___g: Great to see continued investment in the water park, adding to the fun activities in Yarmouth for all ages.
1. Proposed berm should be a minimum of 4' tall with sufficient flat top to include 6' fence, and plantings similar to the
existing berm including 3" caliper trees every 30'.
2. Location of the new berms and any new structures should take into consideration proposed easements and takings
associated with the MassDOT Route 28 Corridor Improvement project (see attached).
3. Larger/taller inflatable rides should be located further to the rear of the property.
4. Need a 10' buffer with buffer trees along the western property line or seek relief.
5. Parking lot to the left of the Inflatable Rides needs in -lot trees to break up the parking area, planting islands should
be a minimum of 5' wide, or seek relief.
6. Provide clear pedestrian routes to the new ticket booth for the inflatable rides.
7. Subsequent to the DRC meeting, the Applicant sent revised elevations and supplemental information on the
proposed materials. The picket board structure on top of the roof and the art/graphics on the walls have been
eliminated. Understanding that the Aloha Bay is meant as a fun, lively place, may want to consider lighter colors.
