Attorney Kirrane supplied a revised landscape plan that the Board requested from the last meeting on July 24,2019,regarding the natural state buffer that abuts Rte. 28. This plan now shows the larger trees will remain in front of the property,and he is seeking the opportunity to manage the understory that is in the buffer area.

In addition, they contacted the representative with Rockland Trust for purposes of discussing any concerns that they articulated in their email that was submitted to the Board. Based upon those conversations with Rockland Trust, the requests were satisfied and will satisfy any concerns they have relative to the mutual use of the Rockland Trust drive area that is also part of the access to the property. Attorney Kirrane said he reached out to the management company of the condominium association for purposes to cooperate and work with them by putting together a plan that they thought might work relative to paying a fair share of the maintenance of Shellback Way. In addition, there were some concerns raised by one of the Town departments regarding vehicles cutting through utilizing this access onto Rte. 28 to get around the traffic light on Shellback Way. The Attorney said that they improved the plan depicting speed tables to slow down traffic that will go through this site. Attorney Kirrane believes that these concerns were addressed. He said that Matt Costa spoke to the Fire Chief and confirmed that the access onto Rte. 28 has the adequate turning radius for fire trucks to access the property. Chairman Furbush asked what the status was with a curb cut permit from the State. Matt - Costa said that it will require a curb cut permit with Mass DOT. He said they are unable to proceed with any applications until they have local approvals.
