of TMs s,s z. AU1MLIUV�y own qf MaS 2 Panning Board c� 16 Great Weck, RoadWorth J Washpee, wMassachusetts 02649 the end of the cul de sac. The overflow parking adds traffic to Topspin. There is no space for parking in overflow, because people are going to the facilities. It can be an issue in the summer, everyone in phases 2, 3, and 4 have access to overflow. Ms. Joyce noted the final buildings have not been designed, there are 7 or 8 options to choose from, all single families with two car garages. Ms. Waygan asked about the gravel pull off, she asked how they were working? She finds the neighborhood feels dense but cute, it has superior architecture, why gravel? Mr. Crispin noted the durable surface and cost effectiveness. Mr. Milbury stated the gravel spits out onto the road and needs to be swept back. PUBLIC COMMENT Don and Janice Block—They asked about the overflow parking, the proponent answered it remains with a different entrance, no longer Garden Drive, now Topspin Road. Larry and Myra Sprince- They live in phase 2 of the cottages, and have concerns. The athletic center can't handle the volume of residents and their vehicles now. There is such a parking shortage that residents are parking everywhere and anywhere, presenting safety issues for those who walk pets. There is an increase in children riding electric bikes, a lot of times after dark at excessive speeds. Cross Rd. experiences a high volume of speeding cars. In summer, there is a temporary speed bump near Cottage Lane. They would like that speed bump to be permanent. In closing, this plan should be rejected. Ms. Waygan added some of these issues are property management issues. Ms. Joyce noted the temporary speed bumps are removed for plows in the winter. There are multiple speed bumps and stop signs in this short area. Ms. Waygan's goal is to keep educating people on rules. A lot of these could be solved, sometimes when you find out your neighbor is uncomfortable, you need to know that so you slow down. Mr. Tobin appreciates the Board engineers' comments about this being a short way, while acknowledging that, there is this new entrance way to the parking lot, adding 5 units, with the playground nearby, a road that ends in a cul-de-sac with a walking path and tennis courts, he noted a speed bump on Topspin Way isn't a bad idea. He would like discussion as to why or why not to include one given the public comments about safety and children playing. Mr. Milbury doesn't see it necessary with only 5 homes there. Ms. Joyce noted the playground is fenced through the club side, but the camp plays beyond that. If they wanted additional fencing the club is responsible. 14
