of TMs s,s <br /> z. <br /> AU1MLIUV�y <br /> own qf MaS 2 Panning Board <br /> c� <br /> 16 Great Neck, RoadNorth <br /> _11ashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br /> bank, and shops,just in the last few weeks did Deer Crossing pay for the new sign and for the <br /> DPW to install, along with a Police detail. Who is maintaining that? <br /> Elizabeth Dawes-She owns the Yarn Basket in Deer Crossing. She would like to put a stop to <br /> this project based on the unsafe traffic, providing negative effects to her business and <br /> neighboring residents. The business tenants on Deer Crossing have one shared route, and <br /> they are already here. If this goes forward, there will be lasting detrimental effects on quality of <br /> life and flow. Most of her customers are 65+ in age, her store is easy to navigate and safe. A <br /> curb cut will add to the confusion, as Shellback circles around, and the added risk will <br /> discourage shoppers. The most recent federal census shows 30% of year-round residents are <br /> 65+, which is a significant demographic fact. It is incumbent to always have seniors in mind <br /> when planning new projects. Developers are not using the paper street, and there is a quid pro <br /> quo with the bank. The bank will support this project if the paper street is not utilized. Their <br /> plans will have civil engineering; she has proofread and reviewed hundreds of plans. This will <br /> require Shellback Way to be closed to vehicles, pedestrian traffic, and residents for a length of <br /> time. This is unacceptable to residents, and a micro business could be hurt to the point of <br /> closure. Shellback Way sees more than vehicular mishaps, more like traffic violence. She <br /> leaves her shop after closing, and heads down Route 28 where she sees motorists run that red <br /> light. Adding more trips to that intersection will increase traffic violence. She included photos <br /> she took on Friday, December 5t" at 9:30am, the aftermath of a two-car collision, four units <br /> were dispatched and closed off Shellback Way. The tractor trailer making deliveries to the Ace <br /> Hardware was pulled off blocking one lane of the two-lane street. That loading dock for Ace is <br /> not meant for tractor trailers. Customers had no place to go, residents living in the town houses <br /> up the hill got stuck behind other motorists. It was a mess. She has a disability, in viewing the <br /> pedestrian access plan, pedestrians having to negotiate at four different points is an uninviting <br /> design. She has never heard of a highschooler getting a job at a Trader Joes. They hire <br /> middle-aged people with experience who deal with the public. There will only be a handful of <br /> full-time jobs, the rest being part-time. Trader Joes has a history of union busting. They believe <br /> they have a model that supports not having to organize. Stop & Shop has a union and better <br /> benefits. Jobs for youth is wishful thinking. Lastly, Shellback Way is a private way. <br /> Dave Scott- He is a Mashpee resident speaking in support of this application. There are some <br /> negative comments that stand out to him. He has worked with Tighe & Bond, they are a very <br /> reputable firm. He thanked the property owner and representatives from Trader Joes. There is <br /> some opposition, but he does believe there is strong support for this business to be here, and <br /> it will add a lot of value to the Town. Trader Joes has a large following and he is looking <br /> forward to having this business here. With this firm's assistance, all issues will be resolved. <br /> Susanne Laundry- She lives on Shellback Way; this proposed location has to be the first <br /> where Trader Joes has not been adjacent to other retail commercial buildings. The proposal <br /> here is between two financial institutions. The part-time employees have never been <br /> 8 <br />
