nor' <br />w <br />Volvo Me <br />16 Great Neck Road North <br />.rlashpee, .Massachusetts 02649 <br />Mr. Dirk assumed this subdivision would be used as a specialty trade commercial or industrial, <br />he noted commercial would generate less traffic. Volumes entering and exiting may be <br />increased but overall there would be less traffic. The general use of lots would account for <br />various commercial uses and that is built into the calculations. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated the residential area is required to be deeded to conservation as open space <br />as part of a DRI, and any land uses on the westerly portion are irrelevant until the deed <br />restriction is placed. <br />Ms. Faulkner asked about the transportation demand, we do not have public transport. There <br />are 8 criteria under project access, does the project meet these? She likes the idea of securing <br />bicycle parking in the development site. <br />Mr. Dirk answered that connectivity to the bike trails are important, and there is not anything in <br />here that the site engineer wouldn't do. It's pretty standard in terms of what is being expected to <br />accommodate. <br />Ms. Faulkner wanted confirmation that both on the site and Rt. 130, this plan is safe and is not <br />going to create anything more than what is already there, that it won't be problematic. <br />Mr. Dirk stated this will all be put into the plan for approvals from the town. The project is not <br />going to create congestion. There will be no significant delays that impede the traffic on Rt. 130, <br />those delays would happen on the side streets, similar to Echo Road. Construction will not <br />impede on traffic flow. <br />Ms. Waygan brought up the project access points. The project site roadway should be a <br />minimum on 24ft. wide. She would like to know if he looked at the proposed plan to see if it was <br />already 24ft. The fourth bullet talks about recommending a sidewalk that is 6ft. wide. She would <br />like Mr. Dirk to explain why it's important that the sidewalk be 6ft. wide. <br />Mr. Dirk responded that the 24ft. minimum width should be to accommodate commercial types <br />of traffic with mixes of trucks. The plan was not provided to him. The ADA compliance standard <br />for sidewalks is 6ft. in width. A sidewalk with the curb gives you 6ft. This could be a low impact <br />design with Cape Cod berm, or something similar. <br />Mr. Balzarini likes the idea of a flashing sign near Sturgis Lane. He would also like to see two <br />"trucks entering" signs at least 100 feet prior to people entering the industrial park. 45 mph is <br />fast for a truck with a trailer to be pulling out into traffic. <br />
