Home Browse Search

Jan explained he concentrated on the setback from 151 , to create a retreat like setting . On this revised plan , he used a 400 foot set back from the layout line . He tried to provide parking for the fields in back of the school . That could be continued to possibly provide emergency access through the site. Bob Fournier explained he met with the building inspector and Fire Department. The Fire Dept would like to see the second egress from Old Barnstable Rd, not 151 . They want a minor clearing off of 151 in case a vehicle needs to get through . They would like to avoid 151 egress , it is a high traffic road , kids will try to turnoff there. They don ' t want a gaited access there either. Bill Martiros thought the tennis was going to be near the road , so police can supervise after hours . The tennis could be swapped with the practice field so it would be closer to the road . Paul and Steve like it where it is . Another important move was to get some parking closer to the main entrance . Peter added that it is important that senior citizens can get dropped off at the door . Merry Sue is concerned the big usage areas are the gym and auditorium and the parking is skewed towards the other end of the building . People will not park in the far lots . ?eter said the goal should be to minimize the cost of land acquisition . We want to preserve the continuity of the top part of the parcel to have access to the river . Tom noticed there are a lot fewer ballfields than on the original list. Merry Sue explained this is the minimum amount of fields to run the program. What he is referring to was the wish list. We will need additional land for future fields . Tom asked when we should begin talking to the housing authority about the possibility of adjusting their boundaries? Steve asked if they are exempt from eminent domain taking? Tom does not know how it would work . PROJECT MANAGER REPORT Brian Rowlands was present representing Chartwell . He reviewed project status report No. 5 with the Committee. Contracts : both are almost ready for signature . Program: waiting for the net to gross calculation . Site Development: land survey should be complete within 1 week. Wetlands have been flagged. There is a greater length of wetland edge than expected . They will walk it with Bob Sherman , the delineation requires his approval . Schedule : Ian thinks the value management session may have to be delayed 1 week . Brian explained they need as much information going into it in order to make good decision . Bob Fournier will update the schedule accordingly . Ian would also like to see a cost comparison of concept "A" . 2
