of TMs s,s <br /> z. <br /> Aannin Board <br /> c� <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> .wlashpee, Aassachusetts 02649 <br /> Mr. Milbury commented he would never want to talk for two hours about monopoles. That is <br /> the job of this Board, to stop and objectively examine criteria, discuss, and make a decision. <br /> This has already been verified as a problem area, at the heartbeat of Mashpee. The future and <br /> character are determined by what we do. Traffic is no doubt a problem. Shellback Way only <br /> has one egress. Theres already traffic from lower and upper Deer Crossing, Route 28, and <br /> Charles St. The Commission has said Cape Cod is at finite capacity and they provide guidance <br /> to control, but the Commission has been amiss on this case, with failure to consult the Town <br /> and they insist on mitigation funds in areas totally unrelated to the site. That is nonsensical and <br /> does not reflect impact of local residents. The curb cut beacon going to a driveway of 20 ft., if <br /> one car has to stop, the second and third car will be on Route 28. Anyone traveling Route 28 <br /> knows cars are weaving, mixing in and out. The mitigation offered no solutions. We didn't get <br /> anything but changing signal times. They claimed it was too expensive to expand two more <br /> lanes, and MassDOT has to clear changes. They never offered Mashpee Rotary data, Ms. <br /> Faulkner asked for a simulation. Mr. Adams suggested simulations rarely reflect reality, and <br /> their attorney noted we all have lived experiences, and he agrees, that doesn't come through <br /> on a screen, just ask the residents of Shellback Way. It's already congested and dangerous, <br /> and the abutters' concerns have not been adequately addressed. What are we looking forward <br /> to here? He likes Trader Joes. The store's popularity is obviously reflected in the petition of <br /> 1,800, but 60% of those petitioners are from Falmouth. Data doesn't reflect what that means <br /> and we have grossly underestimated this. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. <br /> Ms. Waygan understands the motion is to deny the project, therefore, a vote of yes will deny <br /> the project. <br /> MOTION: <br /> Karen Faulkner made a motion to approve Findings #34 & #35 and deny the <br /> project. Seconded by Dennis Balzarini. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Mr. Milbury: Yes, Ms. Faulkner: Yes, Ms. Waygan: No, Mr. Hansen: No, Mr. Balzarini: <br /> No The Planning Board voted 2-3 (Faulkner, Milbury— YES; Waygan, Balzarini, Hansen <br /> —NO). Based on criteria enumerated in Finding #35, Ms. Faulkner and Mr. Milbury voted <br /> to deny the Special Permit. <br /> MOTION: <br /> Dennis Balzarini made a motion to authorize Karen Faulkner and Mike Milbury to <br /> make the final review of decision, and clearly and accurately express thoughts of <br /> decision. Seconded by Rob Hansen. All in favor. <br /> The Notice of Decision will be sent, and the appeal period information is included within that <br /> notice. <br /> Associate Planning Board Vacancy <br /> 21 <br />
