patrons who have pre-ordered. The preliminary site plan is complete, pending discussions with public safety, public works, health and regulatory departments, and ready for submission to Site/Plan review. TRAFFIC IMPACT: The openings of other Adult-Use facilities have resulted in some significant issues relative to traffic management. Triple M has put a great deal of thought into developing a plan to avoid such issues in Mashpee and will work with the Mashpee Police Department to further develop and execute a plan to mitigate major traffic issues. Based on our experience in opening the Medical RMD and observations from the openings in other communities, a plan encompassing six vital elements has been crafted: (1) Scheduled appointments; (2) Pre-Orders; (3)Ample Parking; (4) Traffic/Parking Personnel; (5) Vehicular Traffic Management;and, (6) Patron Traffic Management within the Dispensary. Scheduled Appointments: Triple M will institute a "soft opening" policy, a modification of what was successfully used for the opening of the Medical RMD. initially, patrons will be required to have an appointment during a defined block of time. The number of patrons scheduled for each time block will be determined by the number of parking spaces available as well as by the number of patrons who can be reasonably accommodated. By limiting the number of patrons per time block, vehicular traffic will be limited to the number of parking spaces available and how efficiently the spaces turn over. The traffic queue lane, which will accommodate up to 25 vehicles, will serve as a safety valve for any unanticipated backup. Vehicles without an appointment will not be permitted to queue and any line of traffic should be contained to the Triple M Echo Road location. Over time and an consultation with the Mashpee Police Department, scheduled appointments will be modified (and in time eliminated) as determined by the dispensary's historical and projected trends. Pre-Orders: By utilizing the 'Leafly' and other mobile apps (think Dunkin Donuts On-the- Go), Triple M's Adult-Use patrons will be able to pre-order. Patrons with pre-orders will share an expedited entry lane and designated parking spaces with Medical patients and they will be able to pick up their order at an express pick-up kiosk within the dispensary. Triple M has found at the Medical RMD, that being able to efficiently move patients through the educational and purchasing process results in a consistent turnover of parking spaces and plans to utilize a similar model with the Adult-Use Dispensary. Pre-ordering will be encouraged for experienced patrons as it is a key element in readily moving customers through the purchasing procedure.
