Forward Development Corporation - Requests a Variance under Section 174-46.E.6.0 of the Zoning By-laws for permission to vary the sidewalk requirements in the Quashnet woods Open Space Incentive Development on property located in an R-3 zoning district at 765 Falmouth Road (Map 81, block, 1) Mashpee, Ma. Members sitting: William Hanrahan, Michael Makunas, Cheryl Hawver Attorney Alexander L. Dittami represented Forward Development. Mr. Dittami stated that as indicated they were here to. request_ a variance from section 9.3.5.6.0 of the Town of Mashpee Zoning By- laws. This particular section would normally require sidewalks to be installed on the side of any road which they would-be putting, in this subdivision. They are requiring it because they are going to be generating over 500 trips a day on this roadway.. The road- way which has been laid out was approved under the OSID permit issued and modified by the Town of Mashpee Planning Board. In this particular configuration they have not put sidewalks around the edoe of the roadway. They will be including an additional sidewalk from Route 28 up along the side of the entrance road and on the side of the roadway extending up to cluster 1, cluster 3, and crosses over to #5. This design and variance will only affect this particular parcel. It is consistent with the intent of the By-law, that is the pedestrians walkways beside the street, is the intent as he understands it to promote pedestrian safety and convenience. By making the walkways more convenient for those who_ would be using it the most, people going from building to building and by removing,. from the hazards of the roadway will in fact enhance the purpose of the By-law. Mr. Dittami also indicated that this particular.walkway-ex- tended from Route 28 provides the most direct road from Route 28 to the Whitings Road area.
