i r BOARD OF SELECTMEN Page 4 MINUTES - ADMINISTRATIVE MEETING Thursday March 5 1992 • Doug Storrs : The engineering and specifics are to be drawn by a contractor for the Town of Mashpee relates Mr. Storrs. DPW Director Greg Taylor will provide the sketch plan for the Town and specifics . The approximate cost for improvements to Donna ' s Lane is $180 ,000. Mr . Talanian is to contribute 25%, Field ' s Point 25% and the Town of Mashpee 50% indicates Mr. Storrs. The payment can be made over a twenty year period. For the road to go forward , there has to be an agreement between the three parties relates Attorney Storrs. Mr. Storrs suggests the Board of Selectmen make a recommendation to the Board of Appeals in support of the Donna 's Lane project . The ability of the parties to commit funds is contingent upon the opening of the restaurant, flea market and mini golf course facilities . Further improvements to the road such as the proposed bike path can be obtained in the special permit process indicates Mr. Storrs. Selectman Jacobson indicates the Town has no intention of paying 50%. The Town has already incurred a number of bills with the taking. The perception of the voting public with the taking was that there was to be of no cost to the Town. We would have • to return to Town Meeting for approval . The Town is entitled to be reimbursed through the betterment process relates Selectman Vaccaro. The road was taken by the Town. The sum of $11 ,000 was improperly incumbered to get the road open . Mr. Storrs indicates there is a proposal for a 24 ' wide road and a 40" wide road similar to Job ' s Fishing Road . This would include a bike path. It was indicated by Mr. Storrs that Job ' s Fishing Road was designed to have parking and that is why it was laid out as such. He recommends not to place a 40 ' wide roadway since parking is not intended for Donna ' s Lane. Once we know what is going to happen to the land , the roadway will expand as a cost to the developer. Mr. Storrs indicates the timing of Route 28 and Donna ' s Lane should happen soon. Since there is not a dramatic traffic problem, the signals may not have to be in place for the road to open. Donna ' s Lane and Route 28 should be considered as separate budgets suggests Attorney Storrs. He estimates the cost for each to be about $150,000. It was suggested the Board of Appeals and Board of Selectmen meet jointly to discuss this further. Selectman Jacobson indicates the Board of Appeals would like a signal commitment and the installation of turning lanes. This would give some ability for traffic to get in and out . This problem should be resolved • in conjunction with the application.
