Phil Dascombe inquired about the area that has been designated as Growth Center <br /> by the Town. <br /> The Town Planner explained that when the set boundaries had been determined <br /> based upon the proposed Boch Center project. The intent was to include and support the <br /> Boch Center; the remainder of Trout Pond was not. <br /> There was some discussion as to whether or not there should be commercial <br /> development around the rotary. Mr. Storrs stated the he is not suggesting any curb cuts in <br /> or around the rotary. There is consideration of four(4) coordinated signals, with no <br /> additional curb cuts on Route 28 or Route 151. There was concern from the Board with <br /> regard to traffic issues at the rotary. <br /> Mr. Storrs took the position that the rotary works, and that perhaps people should <br /> simply be a little more patient and slow down when approaching and driving around it. <br /> He suggested geometric changes could be made as he feels the rotary will remain in <br /> place. <br /> The Town Planner suggested the center/downtown area of Mashpee has yet to be <br /> determined. <br /> Mr. Storrs reminded the Board that 70-acres of valuable commercial property <br /> exist in this area,being an extremely important asset for Mashpee Commons.
