Peter said it seems they are forcing a municipal sewer system, they have <br /> some political agenda. <br /> Greg Taylor thinks you should assume they mean no net increase above the <br /> impact of single family residences on title V , which is how the land would <br /> otherwise be developed. <br /> Paul spoke with Mike Holland from SMMA about the traffic study. It <br /> requires $750 , 000 wor th of improvements ! The traffic study does not state <br /> when they have to be made. The report talks about a lot of issues but it <br /> did not answer a lot of questions , It did suggest sources of funding for <br /> the improvements . <br /> Greg said they are familiar with all those sources <br /> He said these are intersections that could be impacted by the school but <br /> the apportionment is a percentage of this p ro,4 est 's impact. The stop and <br /> Shop project improvements included the intersection of old Barnstable Rd <br /> and 151 also. <br /> Mr. Lawlor said he has a list of comments on the traffic study draft. The <br /> most important part of the report is the analysis of these intersections <br /> for a 10 year time frame with and without the school . It clearly states <br /> this intersection i s a problem without the school . That will be the <br /> argument he makes with MEPA and the commission. The problem is not solely <br /> caused by the school . <br /> He said the E I R will clearly state these intersections do not meet the <br /> level of service without the school . <br /> However, Old Barnstable Rd , between 151 and the school entrance is a. more <br /> difficult argument. The study recommends widening of old Barnstable Road <br /> in that location . where does the committee stand on that? <br /> Paul said that is an intersection the project i s creating and in fairness <br /> we should fix i t. He agrees there are some improvements necessary there . <br /> Merry sue asked how much fixing is required? can we use the land we will <br /> own and widen the road'? <br /> Greg said widening i s required and maybe a left tura lane . It can be done <br /> with Town owned land . <br /> Tom wren said the report is saying those are inseparable unctions , They <br /> have to separate the set. <br /> M r~r Lawlor agreed , the most important thing is to separate them, <br /> Peter asked what if they require us to improve the entire intersection, at <br /> a cost of $450 , 0009 <br /> Raul said this Committee , Selectmen , DPW and Finance committee will have to <br /> sit down and devise a solution . <br /> Peter said at this point, the project cannot afford the $125 , 000 budgeted <br /> for that intersection improvements; It has to be made clear to the Town, <br /> if they want a light there, this project cannot pay for i t. <br /> Paul said the day MEPA gives the OK to the FIR is when construction can <br /> start . construction is scheduled to start in March ., Originally MEPA <br /> thought that would be really close . Now what? <br /> Mr. Lawlor sees approval coming 2 weeks later than that but it will be an <br /> infinitely easier process with the commission op <br /> The committee would like a.n idea of the cost of improvements at the school <br /> 5 <br />
