He presented a master plan of Simon's Narrows Rd . showing Popponessett Realty Trust property with that of Mashpee Investors abutting . However he said -the Popponessett Trust property has been revised . The Board discussed the cul-de-sac to Part B and the lack of oepn space . Ms . Tanneyhill, representing the Historical Commission said the Commission would like to gon record as being opposed to the cutting off of Simon's Narrows Rd. by this proposed development as Simon's Narrows Rd . gives access to Shoe String Bay. Mr. Benway said the Assessor's map shows it with the line he 's shown and they haven't changed the road at all. Ms . Tanneyhill said older maps show the road going to the water. Mr. Fudala said the tax maps have been changed in the past2 years . Mr. Dubin said there had been no abandonment procedure and felt it wasn't good policy to approve the plan with the property line accross it . He said it should show where the pavement was . A representative of the Mashpee Neck Association said as far as he could remember the road went directly to the water. He said they would not want any rights taken away from them and would like to see the same rights when the development is finished. Mr. Fudala presented a 1962 map which showed it as a public way to the water and no property line . Mr. Dubin asked Mr. Benway if from his point of view, is there any negative opinion from eliminating the line . Mr. Benway said he has none but he would check with counsel. Mr. Dubin said he would like to see that line eliminated as earlier maps don't show it and the existing pavement protrudes beyond that line shown on this plan. He said the final plan should show what kind of road it is and if the public has rights over it , they would have rights over the road but not parking rights . Ms . Tanneyhill brought up the status of Bryant 's Cove Rd . Mr. Dubin said it 's not a public road and it 's never been treated as such; from the Planning Board 's point of view, it 's a traveled ancient way. The Board made the following recommendations : The plan needs more open space eliminate cul-de-sac in Part B and tie in with Yardham Dr. relocation of Bryan'ts Cove Rd . would have to be superior to present one . something done with curve at lots 13 ,14&19.
