Board of Appeals Minutes -May 28, 1997 2. Winona Hendricks: said she was a Wampanoag and was opposed because the proposed Indian village would be in back of it and was concerned with truck traffic on Route 130. Mr. Govoni reviewed the maps to determine the Town land referred to. Saeed Chaudry: owner of the Country Store adjacent to the property said he was concerned because he thought it would hurt small business. Dana Leahy: a friend of Saeed Chaundry said the Dunkin' Donuts would hurt his business. Mr. Govoni explained that no one from the Town had commented on the proposed historical district and this has not been presented to Town Meeting. The Board had received comments from Town Planner T. Fudala concerning the trees on the property and objecting to the internally lit sign. He said the Board can only look at zoning and this has been zoned for commercial use with a Special Permit. Mr. Regan said he thought the traffic issue was valid. Mr. Makunas asked if a traffic light was planned for this intersection. Mr. Kirrane stated that the driveway was over 100 feet from the intersection of Great Neck Road North and Route 130 and that the existing market was in a much more precarious location. He said there would be clear visibility in entering and exiting the site. A member of the audience, William Farrington, asked if the audience voted and Mr. Govoni explained that the Board of Appeals was responsible for the decision. Mr. Kirrane said the plan will generate 10-12 jobs, it is commercially zoned and the applicant has planned a Cape Cod style building. He said the Town has no plan for this area and has the option of acquiring that property and taking it out of public use.
