i <br /> } <br /> Enforcement of handicapped parking regulations remains a topic of interest. It was noted that <br /> Chief Collins is stressing enforcement;however,resources and priorities are a.problem in this <br /> busy season. We discussed the possibility of reviewing the feasibility of establishing a civilian <br /> parsing patrol. If one is established,we agreed it should be built around TRLkD and the Civilian <br /> Police Academy graduates. More research is needed on this subject. Charlie reiterated that the <br /> Building Department has been passing out letters to commercial property owners regarding <br /> authorized signage during inspections. They do have a certain amount of leverage over non- <br /> complying property owners by,withholding occupancy permits, liquor licenses,etc.,until the <br /> proper signs are installed. However,the department is stretched thin and is not in position n t <br /> spend much bine on enforcing this. It may be feasible for committee members am TRIAD to <br /> assist in researching addresses and mailing letters to those who have not been given the letter. We <br /> agreed it might be wise to send a courtesy copy of the letters to Chief Collins and the Beard of <br /> Selectmen. With the approval of the Building Department,TRIAD could do the follow-up <br /> legwork to check for compliance at the end of the sixty day period and notify the Building <br /> Department of the stags. <br /> Bob provided a brief update on the status of the initiative to increase awareness of the need for <br /> more accessible housing. The reviews of two projects working their way through the permitting <br /> process,M shpee Woods and Asher's Fath.,have been quite encouraging. The Affordable <br /> Housing Committee and the Zoning Board of Appeals are quite aware of this issue and are <br /> aggressive in questioning developers about heir plans for accessibility. According to the <br /> developers or heir representatives,all units in both projects are to be either fully accessible at <br /> least % or"visitable." Now if Mashpee Commons management will only give similar <br /> consideration to the large Chapter 40B project along Job*s Fishing Roadwe'll really have made <br /> progress. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Robert H.Wooldrid <br /> Secretary <br />
