INFORMAL REVIEW: Idle Times Bike Shop, Inc., 29 Main Street
Don Watson and Peter Noble were present for the informal Site Plan application for Idle Times Bike Shop, Inc. to be located in approximately 1,600+ square feet in a portion of the building at 29 Main Street (with two additional locations in Eastham and Wellfleet). Watson stated that the location was a pre-existing jewelry retail store and the proposal would allow a retail shop for bicycle sales and repair. There are four entrances / exits to the shop on Main Street, Old Colony Way and in the rear. Watson stated there are two pre-existing small non-handicapped accessible bathrooms which would mainly be used by employees and no basement storage space. Watson declared that there will be no truck deliveries at the Orleans location. Watson said that bicycle repairs will be done
on-site and sufficient parking is available both on-site and off-site. There will be seasonal fluxes in employees with an anticipated maximum of 4 employees in the summer. There will be no hazardous chemicals used on-site, only citrus based materials. A burglar alarm will be installed in the store. A bicycle rack will be installed on-site outdoors for customers to park their private bicycles.
Comments:
Fire: The recently renovated building has a new fire alarm system and will need to provide fire extinguishers.
Health: This is considered retail to retail for the Board of Health and the septic system was installed two years ago.
Conservation: There are no Conservation Commission issues.
Building: If the bathrooms will be available to the public, they must be made handicapped accessible.
Planning: This is a change from office to retail so less than six parking spaces would be required and do not have to be provided. Any proposed signs must meet the requirements of the Orleans Zoning Bylaws 164-35. No business shall have more than three (3) signs. All exterior lighting must conform to the Orleans Lighting bylaw (shielded and pointed downward) and manufacturer tear sheets must be provided for town review of height and glare compliance and must be shown on the Formal Site Plan. All exterior lighting must conform to the Orleans Lighting bylaw (shielded and pointed downward) and manufacturer tear sheets must be provided for town review and must be shown on the plan.
MOTION: On a motion by Brian Harrison, seconded by Bill Quinn, the Committee voted to approve the Site Plan application and waive the Formal Review for Idle Times Bike Shop, Inc., located at 29 Main Street.
VOTE: 5-0-0 The motion passed unanimously.
INFORMAL REVIEW: Arey’s Pond Boat Yard, 74 Rayber Road
The applicant, George A. Davis (Tony) was present for the Informal Site Plan for Arey’s Pond Boat Yard for property located at 74 Rayber Road. Davis stated his intent to provide a large building for the cleaning, maintenance and storage of private boats off-season. Davis stated he is currently renting space in Chatham and moving his storage building to Orleans would allow him to be closer to the boatyard. Work inside the building will consist of cleaning and washing in the spring by approximately two people for 3-4 hours per day with no night work. Davis stated that storing the boats inside is better than having to shrink-wrap the boats. Boats will be moved by hydraulic trailers or forklifts onto racks with two levels from fall to spring each year using the open doors at each end for
ventilation. Davis stated that a drainage system will be provided around the building for the anticipated environmental power wash system using an above-ground water storage tank system on a platform using recycled water to avoid runoff to be installed in the future. Davis stated his intent to provide a flame retardant cover over the building and noted that generally stored boat fuel tanks are emptied before they are put into storage. Electricity will be provided on-site.
Comments:
Fire: Due to the proximity to the Orleans Watershed, work should be coordinated with the Water Department with regard to boat cleaning/washing.
Health: As long as dry storage is all that is being provided, no septic system is required. No floor drains will be permitted. Adequate ventilation must be provided when the forklift equipment is being used.
Conservation: There are no Conservation Commission issues.
Building: 10’ setbacks from the building must be provided for green spaces and a minimum of 6’ of landscaping must be provided in the front of the building. A minimum of two employee parking spaces must be provided. All exterior lighting must conform to the Orleans Lighting bylaw (shielded and pointed downward) and manufacturer tear sheets must be provided for town review and must be shown on the plan. 25-year storm drainage must be contained on-site and drainage calculations must be provided to the town by a Professional Engineer and shown on the Formal Site Plan.
Planning: All exterior lighting must conform to the Orleans Lighting bylaw (shielded and pointed downward) and manufacturer tear sheets must be provided for town review of height and glare compliance and must be shown on the Formal Site Plan. Any proposed signs must meet the requirements of the Orleans Zoning Bylaws 164-35. No business shall have more than three (3) signs. Parking for employees must be provided and shown on the Formal Plan. This plan does not need to be reviewed by the Architectural Review Committee
There was a consensus of the Site Plan Review Committee that this application will have to come back for a Formal Site Plan Review.
