Ed Adams moved, seconded by <br /> Jean Noussee that the minutes from the 5/18/02 meeting be accepted. The motion was unanimously approved. <br /> Iry welcomed the department representatives from the Town of Mashpee, and thanked them for attending. <br /> While awaiting the arrival of JCA, Jim Long reviewed with the group the current building plans for the new senior <br /> center. <br /> Sewage/Road Design Status Report. <br /> Joyce Mason reported that a meeting with Mashpee Commons representatives is set for June 5"'to discuss the <br /> sewage issue. The Commons would like to have the new senior center sewage system tied in with them as <br /> opposed to having one built separately for the new center. There has been no further discussion on <br /> development of the paper road. This topic will be addressed at the October Town Meeting. <br /> Grant Application <br /> Jim Long announced that there have been three grant writer proposals received. Of the three, two have been <br /> selected for final consideration: Sharon Travis Gay, and Alice Boyd. Joyce Mason noted that Sharon is familiar <br /> with Mashpee, and already has much of the necessary data on hand that will be needed for a grant writer. Alice <br /> Boyd's bid was less expensive, but she is from Orleans, and would need to have us gather the data needed. <br /> Both Jim and Joyce agreed that both applicants are well qualified for the job. Jim will investigate how much <br /> information Alice will need from us. A decision will be made as soon as possible. <br /> JCA Report <br /> Driveway. John Catlin stated that a one-way arrangement in/out for the rotary in front of the new center would <br /> be ideal, taking into consideration the safety factor for senior drivers. <br /> Parking Lot. Current plans call for a 115-car capacity. Assuming two persons per car, this will handle a <br /> gathering of up to 230 persons. The parking spaces are 91/2'x 20'. George Baker mentioned the need to be <br /> aware of turning radius concerns for fire station vehicles. The fire department needs access on at least one side <br /> of the building, preferably asphalt, and wide enough to accommodate the fire truck equipment. Deputy Fire <br /> Chief Sheldon Hamblin expressed concerns about the fire department parking spaces numbered 114 to 124 that <br /> are slated to be shared with the senior center. <br /> George Baker requested that he and/or Sheldon Hamblin as well as town planner Tom Fudala be included in <br /> future discussions where decisions are finalized on roadway and parking space layouts. George also suggested <br /> that JCA touch base with him after committee meetings to bring him up to date on current plans under <br /> discussion. John Catlin agreed. <br /> Additional Comments. John Catlin mentioned the storage area for mechanical systems in the attic, with an <br /> aluminum pulldown ladder for access. The building itself has a great room with storage area, an outdoor porch, <br /> service area, kitchen with receiving area. He commented on low maintenance, with plans calling for white cedar <br />
