<br /> 117 Timberlane Drive, Town of Mashpee, DPW Proposed stormwater management <br />systems and parking lot. Representative: Self <br /> <br />Representative: DPW, Catherine Laurent <br /> <br /> The project site is located at Santuit Ponds Town Landing, situated off Timberlane Drive. <br />Existing features include a partially paved gravel driveway leading to a compacted gravel <br />parking area, a launch area, and a small boat ramp. Currently, drainage exists only along <br />Timberlane Drive, with no on-site drainage. <br /> The town has successfully secured two MVP grants, enabling the development of plans <br />for stormwater infrastructure and community use of the facility. Several workshops were <br />held with residents to gather feedback and determine the best approach for the property. <br /> The primary focus is shifting vehicular traffic and parking away from the pond and up to <br />Timberlane Drive. The proposal includes a separate parking area with eight spots: four <br />for boats with trailers and four for vehicles. For the pond area, a new pre-cast concrete <br />ramp will be constructed, providing a launch area for motorized vessels and a separate <br />seasonal dock for non-motorized watercraft (such as canoes and kayaks) access and for <br />fishing. The Department of Natural Resources have agreed to take on the responsibility of <br />removing and installing the dock. <br /> The parking area will feature porous pavement, while the road access and access area <br />itself will be conventionally paved with stormwater improvements. Additional amenities <br />include a picnic/viewing area with permeable pavers, picnic tables, benches, a seating <br />wall, and a pathway. <br /> A vegetation plan includes rain gardens starting at the upper parking area and extending <br />to a freshwater wetland near the boat ramp. Additionally, a pollinator garden is proposed <br />in the picnic area. Throughout the property, informational signage will explain the <br />purpose of these different features. <br /> The project aims to maximize property use, enhance its care, and address stormwater <br />issues impacting the water quality in Santuit Pond. <br /> <br /> <br />COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS <br /> <br />The following is a summary of the questions asked, responses, and additional commentary. <br /> <br /> Climate Resilient Trail: <br />o Ms. Laurent suggests that a climate-resilient trail is more like an educational trail <br />rather than focusing on the construction of the trail itself. <br /> Stormwater Runoff Projections based on: <br />18 <br /> <br /> <br />
