I BOARD OF SELECTMEN MINUTES - REGULAR SESSION MONDAY, MAY 21 , 1990 PAGE THREE APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS #3 (Cont. ) Mr. Cullinan discussed DEM's proposal relative to the new Town Beach. It is proposed that in May, 1992, after completion of the road and the new .town beach, DEM .will be in a position to enter into a land exchange. The dune restoration project ( including the removal of the parking lot) would not be complete until May, 1993. Mr. Hanson stated that he is still opposed to the project and that the residents should be able to vote on the issue in October at the Annual Town Meeting. Mrs. Jacobson asked whether 20 - 30 parking spaces could be set aside in the current parking lot. DEM stated that this is not possible and the reason is a management safety issue. The access road to the existing town beach would cross a pedestrian trail for those using the State reservation. Mr. Kirsner stated that there should .be a reservation of these spaces and that until the dune is actually being restored, some arrangement be made for residents to use the parking lot for visual purposes. Mr. Kirsner added that DEM as the owner of the land, would not violate their rights from an environmental point of view if they permit. residents to use the area during the off- season. Mr. Vontzalides, Counsel for DEM suggested that this issue be dealt with on an annual basis. Mr. Carter suggested that the South Cape Beach State Park Advisory Committee prepare written recommendations relative to the proposal and submit to the Board of Selectmen. A response will then be forwarded to DEM.
