Discussion : <br /> Joe said there should be no road out to 151 except for emergency access <br /> it has to be that way . <br /> Bill Martiros asked why the issue of shared cost of the road not be <br /> considered now? <br /> Mr . Frenette said it is an issue for the future. The school will probably <br /> be built first and it will need a road , so you will have to built it. You <br /> could later negotiate to recoup some of the cost if the performing arts <br /> center happens. <br /> ** All in favor of the motion 5-0 . ** <br /> Site Program: this includes parking and athletics. <br /> (Steve Greelish joined the meeting at 4 :40 p.m. ) <br /> For parking , they will begin with the zoning requirements . Mr . Frenette <br /> believes that is 1 space for each staff person plus 1 for every 5 students. <br /> Joe suggested a grass area for the overflow. <br /> Tom explained the bylaw limits the impervious surface coverage because it <br /> is in a groundwater protection district but the site is so large they <br /> probably won ' t come up against it. <br /> Athletic Fields : <br /> Do we want to pay the cost of a football team? Does it cost a lot? <br /> Ray Bordwell said it does cost a lot, easily hundreds of thousands of <br /> dollars - for grandstands lighting , bathrooms , concessions etc. If you <br /> ouild a track , the space inside will support the football field . <br /> Grandstands can then be used for a number of sports . <br /> Peter stated this is an issue the School Committee will have to review, <br /> what programs does the town want? <br /> Gus Fredricks mentioned the size of the school will determine who the teams <br /> play . We should look at where they will be playing , it may involve a lot of <br /> travel and expense . <br /> Mr. Frenette said construction can start without the football decision but <br /> master planning cannot. <br /> How many grandstand seats? Mr . Frenette said it would be unusual not to <br /> have 1 , 000 seats on the home side . This can be expandable, as long as the <br /> space is provided . The range of cost is large . There is also a large range <br /> in the cost of tracks . <br /> Mr. Frenette said they need a list of all the sports that will part of the <br /> program. They will then determine if there is an appropriate number of <br /> fields , as well as practice spaces. <br /> Whose responsibility is it to finalize this information? <br /> Mr. Frenette thinks there should be a subcommittee working on this , <br /> including current athletic departments. Gus Fredricks volunteered to help. <br /> Ray Bordwell said the things which drive the amount of fields : phys ed <br /> requirements, maximum number of teams playing during a season , community <br /> aspects , summer recreation program. <br /> Peter asked Gus how he will get the communities pulse on this issue? <br /> Gus will talk with the Youth Commission and Leisure Service Committee . He <br /> will contact other towns and see what sports they have. <br /> Dr. DeMoura had previously presented a sketch to Mr. Frenette of the sports <br /> 3 <br />
