It was disclosed that all abutters were notified of this hearing. <br />At their last meeting the DPW Director brought to the Select Board's attention concerns regarding the road <br />conditions on Bowdoin Road. Adjacent businesses are using the road for parking. This significantly impacts <br />the road surface, the road shoulder and drainage. <br />Currently, there are no restrictions regarding parking on Bowdoin Road. The Plan Review Committee has <br />recommended that parking on both sides of the road be prohibited until such time the property owners <br />develop a plan for improvements. <br />The road is impacted by employee parking and delivery vehicles. This restricts ability for the road to drain <br />properly. There are six drains on the road. The town bids for the cost of clearing the industrial areas as <br />hazardous wastes must be disposed at a hazardous waste landfill. The DPW is agreeable to work with the <br />property owners to address this issue, but not at the sole cost to the Mashpee taxpayers. <br />Several local business owners were in attendance to further discuss this matter with the Select Board. <br />Comments were received requesting that a reasonable solution be brought forward to resolve this issue on a <br />team basis. It was agreed that environmental factors would be satisfied as part of the solution. <br />Town Manager Rodney C. Collins recommended the Select Board continue the Public Hearing to allow for <br />adequate staff review including the DPW working with the business owners to bring forth a satisfactory <br />resolution to the parking challenge on Bowdoin Road. <br />Motion made by Selectman Sherman to continue the Public Hearing on the Proposed Parking Ban on <br />Bowdoin Road to provide opportunities for resolution; a date to be determined. <br />Motion seconded by Selectman Cotton. <br />VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br />Roll Call Vote: <br />Selectman Weeden, yes Selectman Cotton, yes Selectman O'Hara, yes <br />Selectman Sherman, yes Selectman Wyman -Colombo, yes Opposed, none <br />
