Mashpee regulations and requested two waivers as in previous phases, for no sidewalks or <br />streetlights. The greatest challenge of the project involved the location of the water main which <br />will be located behind a retaining wall. Mr. Balzarini expressed concern about the grade located <br />at the entrance of Great Neck Road Mr. Falacci responded that the area would be graded, <br />increasing the sight visibility. Mr. Crispin added that the rotary would be relocated. Regarding <br />storm drainage, an underground recharge system similar to Phase I would be installed. Buildings <br />on the outside edge would have roof drywells and the inner circle will runoff to the main system. <br />Mr. Balzarini inquired about the front lots accessing Great Oak Road and Mr. Rowley responded <br />that the runoff would be collected at two catch basins at the intersection, as well as at the north <br />side of the proposed road eliminating runoff from entering Great Oak Road. <br />Mr. Weeden expressed concern about the existence of possible archeology since the parcel was <br />once owned by tribal member and farmer, Mary Young, during the 1800's. Mr. Weeden was in <br />possession of maps highlighting land showing the area was part of an active native village and <br />recommended archeology to be completed to ensure there would be no disturbance of significant <br />resources. Mr. Falacci responded that Section 5 portion of development had been through <br />Agreement for Judgement when an extensive archeological survey was completed in 2005. Mr, <br />Fudala asked that the report be made available to Mr. Weeden and Mr. Falacci agreed to forward <br />it. Mr. Falacci added that the work had been supervised by a tribal member. Chairman Waygan <br />requested that Mr. Weeden review the report. <br />The Chair inquired about mailboxes, sidewalks and street lights. Mr. Falacci responded that the <br />homes were clustered together very closely so each home would have a post light on the <br />driveway that would turn on simultaneously by sensor. Additionally, there will be a walkway <br />that will connect and intertwine with walking trails, providing access for residents, <br />The Chair inquired about signage and lights for the entrances and Mr. Falacci responded that <br />there would be two landscape retaining walls and a street sign and landscape entrance. There <br />would also be signage for the athletic building. Signs would be illuminated with low landscape <br />lights. <br />Mr. Kooharian referenced a letter from a Mashpee resident who expressed concern about <br />handicap accessibility at New Seabury and read for the record the letter. Mr. Falacci responded <br />that Bayswater took handicap accessibility very seriously, adding that the sales cottage was <br />constructed as handicap accessible and that he was CAP certified. Mr. Falacci was personally <br />involved with the design of the eight model homes offering first floor living, ensuring that <br />hallways and entrance doors would allow wheelchair access as well as large shower stalls for <br />access. The grade has been raised and retaining walls used to limit the number of steps in and out <br />of homes and garages. The house has also been lowered within the foundation to reduce the <br />number of steps for a possible future ramp if needed. Bayswater Development takes <br />accessibility seriously and recently assisted in a project to add a ramp at a home at no charge. <br />Steve Cook designed the ramp for the local residents. Mr. Fudala inquired whether the homes <br />met visitability standards and Mr. Falacci confirmed that it did. Mr. Fudala recommended that <br />Mr. Falacci follow up with the concerned resident to share with him their efforts to create <br />accessibility and Mr. Falacci agreed. <br />2 <br />
