(Continued from August 22, 1990). Members present: C. Hawver, M. Makunas, E. Govoni, J. Friel • Ms. Hawver announced that William J. Hanrahan had stepped down from the Board for this application. Attorney Kevin Kirrane represented McDonald's and presented revised plans which eliminated the island at the Route 28 curb cut. He said his client did not dispute Mr. Talanian's claim to ownership of Donna's Lane and McDonald's now proposed to eliminate access to Donna's Lane. He said they would landscape the original access planned and if the road is taken by the Town it could be opened. There was discussion of the access from Route 28 and Mr. Kirrane explained that the State will make the decision on permitted traffic. He said the McDonald's engineers considered that the traffic within the site was adequate. Mr. Govoni read a letter from Fields Point Corporation, a copy of which is attached. Mr. Govoni asked how traffic would be handled without the Donna's Lane access. Franklin Ching, Traffic Consultant for McDonald's, said the State DPW was working on this, particularly on left hand turns. He said that if this was the only access they would try to alleviate the traffic impact with shoulder widenings. • Mr. Friel asked about the queuing of cars within the site which would result from those waiting to make a left turn. Mr. Ching said he was working with the DPW on this and there had been discussion on the widening of the entrance.
