BOARD OF SELECTMEN Page 2 MINUTES MON DAY; NOVEMBER 19, 1990 South Cape Beach Advisory Committee DEM: Mr. Cullinan reports the town beach parking lot and land transfers must take place before the deal is settled and the money alloted. DEM would agree with the advisory committee' s position on the parking lot as stated by Mr. Kirsner or allow the town to keep the town beach parking indefinitely without a land transfer. DEM would then proceed with the new town beach as a state facility, This is located off McGregor Road and would allow space for 250 vehicles. The advisory committee was not aware of this alternative. Mr. Cullinan stated that any agreement on Great Oak Road would be contingent upon the agreement of the town beach parking lot. The re- construction of 'the road would handle the - excess traffic generated by a new state- facility. DEM should not spend the money- to upgrade the road if it is not used as 'such. Selectman Gottlieb reviewed the options presented. One is to complete the- roadwork and go ahead with the project as designed with no parking in the lot and second to leave the parking lot and keep the. beach- where it is, upgrade the road and move the state beach to the site .of the new town beach. Selectman Jacobson feels that in the event of a major storm, the current beach and parking Facility may be altered and unavailable for town use . Mr. Kendall has stated the money is committed to the road project and close to a resolution. The existing beach is unresolved and should be resolved now. Selectman Lawrence is concerned with the issue. The advisory committee was lead to believe there were two separate issues. He would like to at least firm the road agreement at. this meeting. Mr. Cullinan apologizes for misleading the Committee and Selectmen. DEM will remain firm and not transfer any money until the land transfer problems are agreed upon. Selectman Hanson agrees with resolving the road issue but feels it is totally unfair to the Selectmen and the Committee who have been j unaware of this alternative. . He would like an agreement with the advisory committee before a decision is made by the Selectmen before or after the 20th of January. Mr. Cullinan would like to note that DEM has ageed with the advisory committee on the land .transfer. When it occurs, the existing town beach package will be approved. Selectman Gottlieb has suggested to accept the recommendations of the committee and DEM and settle the road and beach at this meeting. The South Cape Beach Advisory Committee has recommended the town to obtain the new town beach facility with parking facilities. i With the changes of administration, Chairman Carter is concerned with the road issue and the commitment of money for the project.
