accessible now besides distance. And I would hate to see modification to Special Pennits <br /> used to jam in just as many parking spaces as we can. And-I encourage the.Board to not <br /> allow this proposal to go forward." <br /> The Vice-Chairman disagreed that the object is,to gain additional parking spaces, <br /> but rather to create a more viable.retai 1 area. <br /> The Town Planner commented on Applicant's statement that a major issue is lack <br /> of separate loading for Building I , noting that the proposal would do nothing for loading <br /> access. He stated that Building C has % occupancy because it has back door loading. <br /> Building B has no place to load, however the proposed plan will not change that situation <br /> a it will have diagonally parked cars°in front of-the building with no place for truer to <br /> stop in a one lane,one-way street. <br /> Mr. Talanian stated there is a loading zone right across the street in the middle of <br /> Joy Street, as indicated in the plan, for loading purposes. It is in the middle of the new <br /> Joy Street for fading. He then accused the Tern Planner of trying to dissuade the Board <br /> based upon loading issues. <br /> David Coughlin pleaded that Applicant has made every attempt to lease the <br /> properties and that nothing has worked,the design simply does not-work(lack of loading <br /> and parking, and distance from the harking area). He stated the Applicant.-is willing t <br /> ingest time and money in an attempt to correct the problem and make a positive change to <br /> the area. <br /> (At this point diary waygan objected that this rr�atter is not a Public Hearing, nor <br /> was it advertised as such, apologizing of the public was under the impression they could <br /> speak.) <br /> Mark Person, shop owner, requested the opportunity to speak, which the ice- <br /> M airman.granted. He stated.that he and his partner have been.in.business at this location <br /> for foufteen m nths and that they are in support of the proposed plan, stating the new <br /> road will help everyone including the shop owners, the llashpee community, and <br /> commerce. He asked for Planning Board support a -the shop owners have been <br /> struggling for their livelihood. <br /> There was brief discussion and suggestion about relocating the loading zone. <br /> Mary W y an.stated,"I don't want you to spend your money foolishly. I don't <br /> thin if you put a road right through Joy Street and take array the pedestrian mall I am <br /> going to vote in-favor of it. I'm against it. If you want to rearrange it and do parallel <br /> parking and loading zones and all that stuff, that's great, you can spend it with your <br /> engineer. But, Ism probably not going to vote `eyes'#for it. I don't want to deceive you. I <br /> want the pedestrian mall to stay, I'm sorry, that's what I want." <br /> 10 <br />
