Attorney John Fitch and Mr. George Thompson, 'Jr. were present. <br /> Mr. Fitch explained that since the last meeting they have been <br /> trying to make arrangements to get the water quality report <br /> prepared and discovered the very heavy price tag involved. <br /> Therefore they are not prepared with that report this evening. <br /> They are going to ask several companies to bid the job. <br /> They would like to discuss the Cove Road issue and to find out <br /> exactly what it is the town thinks is the best way to improve <br /> Cove Road. The definitive plan called for a layout of Cove Rd. <br /> for 40 feet to the Sandwich Town line and a cul de sac to provide <br /> access to lot 1. They do not know how the original decision (for <br /> that level of improvements) happened, they believe that George <br /> Thompson Sr. did not want to extend the invitation for traffic to <br /> head down the road any more than was necessary. If the <br /> neighborhood feels different they will re work i t. They would <br /> like to terminate improvements at that location for just that <br /> reason. They do not want to do anything detrimental to the <br /> neighbors who are down there already. <br /> Mr. Fitch explained that regarding parcel A. they have decided to <br /> eliminate i t, merge into one of the lots. <br /> Mr. Thompson stated that removing parcel A is part of a three <br /> step process, if they have to continue the road to the end they <br /> will keep parcel A and the turnaround. <br /> Tony stated that he does not see the relationship between them. <br /> Mr, Fitch explained that instead of doing a turnaround they would <br /> just do an apron and grading, <br /> Mr. Smith, abutter from Sandwich stated that the road is used for <br /> access therefor it is a little late to be concerned about <br /> traffic. Many people use Parcel A at night, a least 2 cars have <br /> been dumped there . People go there to fish. It will take an <br /> effort to stop it. <br /> Everyone looked at the topography plan to determine where a good <br /> ending for the paving of Cove Rd would be. <br /> Tony stated the only downside to eliminating the turnaround is <br /> from -a fire safety standpoint. However it is not a dead end. It <br /> is not constructive to do that much damage to construct the <br /> turnaround. <br /> Judy suggested the transition area be placed where it is going to <br /> last. <br /> Tony stated in theory they have to pave 150 feet of frontage for <br /> it to be properly improved. He suggested the applicant discuss <br /> this with the Building Inspector. <br /> 2 <br />
