4 Board of Selectmen Minutes . April 12, 2004 APPOINTMENTS AND HEARINGS: Talanian Project Update: Representatives from Talanian Real Estate Development were present to update the Selectmen on activities associated to the South Cape Village project. It was noted that functions applicable to phase I consider the donation of nine acres of open space. Safety measures include signage and placement marking on all five approaches to the rotary, and bypasses using Old Barnstable Road and Great Neck Road North and Jobs' Fishing Road, Donna's Lane and Great Neck Road South. Recommendations of phase II consider the proposal to signalize Route 28, Asher's Path and Orchard Road. With signalization, the level of service would operate at a level A/B versus a level service of F. It was noted that signalization in this area is a priority of the Board of Selectmen. In addition, improvements to the intersection of Great Neck Road North and Lowell Road are considered as is a sidewalk along Great Neck Road South. It was noted that the 20 foot easement is expected to go before the voters at Town Meeting for the sidewalk to be constructed from Donna's Lane to the Children's Museum Proponents of the project indicated that although their project has been downsized, they are committed to their fair share of$200,000 to assist with preliminary engineering and survey costs. Project engineers for the Talanian project also brought forth recommendations to improve the traffic flow at the rotary. The proposal considered a large round-about to improve the capacity and safety of the present rotary configuration. The plan in concept was detailed for the Selectmen's review. Gregory Taylor, Director of Public Works related concern with respect to the rotary proposal of two lanes merging at such a short distance. He stated that it is difficult to move from the inner rotary to the outer rotary to exit. The Selectmen agreed to take the matter under advisement at this time.
