of TMs s,s z. AU1MLIUV�y own qf MaS 2 Panning Board c� 16 Great Neck, RoadNorth .wLashpee, Massachusetts 02649 Commission stated the numbers didn't make sense but they voted in favor. They said Mashpee would have to figure out its own traffic issues. Those who know Shellback Way know its steep slope in Deer Crossing and Rockland Trust, there is a current traffic problem in the summer when everyone is going to Ace Hardware for mulch. He wouldn't present a study that disagreed with him. There is a steep hill behind Unit A and Unit B, he doesn't know how they will safely build, there will need to be a retaining wall. He is not opposed to a new market or Trader Joes, he just doesn't want traffic jams on site. Sue Weiss- She is a resident and wants to thank the Chair and continue the delivery conversation. There was no mention of hours this time, but there was a mention of hours the first time through the traffic mitigation memo of 2022. Objective 1 noted between 4:OOAM- 9:OOAM and 9:OOPM-11:30PM, and possibly other times throughout the day. She would like more information on that as there is a new noise bylaw. When a truck is in reverse it has those signals that sound loudly. There is a proposed bus stop and shelter, which will add traffic from the access road into Trader Joes. Exhibit 17 on page 1 of the 2025 Falmouth Market staff report says the project is coordinating with Cape Cod RTA to install a bus stop and shelter on site. How will they handle the sound pollution from the 100ft. loading dock? On page 5, the ramp is parallel to Shellback Way. She loves Trader Joes. Theo Collins- He noted this is a marine water recharge area for the Poppy Bay, which is impaired by nitrogen according to latest documents. He has questions about the nitrogen contribution of the project. He remembers hearing a nitrogen loading offset to be paid, he wants to know more about that process and who those payments go to? He noted the traffic being a problem and wants to be on record saying the more projects we have create more parking issues and access issues. The consensus is as we build up we are making this area more non-pedestrian friendly. If you want to get around on Rt. 28 there is one road with a sidewalk, and it is really hard to navigate. The choices we make now and the more we develop in this way, the less we are thinking about walking access. Ms. Wagan would like to reach out to the Town Manager's Office to inquire how nitrogen offsets are used. She knows there is a vote by the Select Board, but she would like to confirm how those mitigation funds are tracked and used. Ms. Waygan would also like a slide detailing walkability, access to site, bus stop and bicycle access, sidewalks, ADA sidewalks, and all enhancements. Briana Letendre- She is a single mom with a young son, she understands certain aspects, but we need to see the bigger whole future. She has worked for property management and these same issues come up. We all benefit from this facility being in Mashpee, as items are checked off and the developer gives us more details, we have to think about our children. Her son is not 8
