MASHPEE SELECTMEN'S MEETING -1Q/23185 Page 2. Terry: I don' t have any problem with it as long as Charlie Rowley, you know, he' s usually very much interested to detail in that. I don' t know exactly the ramifi- cations somewhere along the line if the town were to turn it down, whatever it is , whether that puts you at risk or not. I mean, you know more about that then I 'do in this particular situation. All I'_m saying is, you are presupposing again the town has to layout some- where down the line, you want to get moving. Umina: That' s correct. Terry: Okay. I'm not going to act as your counsel for you. Gilmore: The long and short o.f it is, .it seems to me, is that we construct the road at our peril. Terry: Right.. Gilmore: And .the road ha.s to meet the specifications of the Town of Mashpee,' If the town opts, not to accept it, and when I say the town, town meeting assembled opts not to accept it, in a vote, I ,don't know if that answers the question because the status of the road, I think, most people in the Town of Mashpee, particularly old- timers, would say, "darn it, that' s a town road. " Whether it' s . legally a town road for purposes of li- ability under. Chapter 84., I. really 'don't care about. Terry: All I suggest is that you submit some kind of layout to Charlie Rowley and if Charlie has any problems with it, I'm sure he' ll get back to Mr. Reardon or us. Okay? Gilmore: We have had .reasonable success-in meeting whatever re- quest Mr. Rowley has made with. respect to the road,,.- the access, the subdivision in particular. And I see no reason why we cannot continue to work .with him on this road, this small stretch ,of road. Terry: Jean orWill., do you h.ave.,any thoughts? Thomas: My thing. is, I'm going to go by what JQe Reardon says here, a taking should be made of it. Gilmore: I don' t follow that. Thomas: All right. I don' t think we should put the cart before the horse.
