of TMs s,s <br /> z. <br /> Aannin Board <br /> 16 Great Neck Road NOYth <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br /> Faulkner discussed the parking lots. She too has shopped in several states, they are busy. She <br /> sees the same behavior at Roche Bros. with people not paying attention. Some traffic will be <br /> diverted, she cannot say how much. She came from North Andover and has been in Mashpee <br /> for over 50 years. She has seen developments, multi-family buildings, apartment complexes <br /> with hundreds of people, and school aged children, on both state roads and windy back roads. <br /> Trader Joes will bring traffic, sure, but a lot of that is already here. People from Falmouth are <br /> already coming to Mashpee Commons. It's not all in traffic. People have to take responsibility <br /> for their own driving. It is absolutely more congested. She remembers when Bobby Burns was <br /> the only tenant in Mashpee Commons. We designated this entire area as commercial. It is not <br /> fair to tell the owner what to put here. She is in support; there are some things we can do like <br /> coordinate lights. There can be a stop right on red at intersections to protect pedestrians. <br /> Ms. Waygan asked the Board if there were any comments on the decision the Town Planner <br /> has prepared. She noted a lot of really amazing technical stuff but was wondering if there could <br /> be citations. Mr. Balzarini would like to wait until next week to work on the decision. <br /> Mr. Tobin will happily add citations where applicable, one challenge with respect to the traffic <br /> study, was the most recent version was not paginated, and versions prior to the most recent <br /> version were not; only the second to last version had page numbers. <br /> Ms. Waygan pointed out Number 25, she would like based on the traffic study performed by <br /> Bowman Consulting, Number 23 based on the revised traffic study, and Number 24, as we are <br /> not considered traffic experts, we need to cite what the experts said. <br /> Ms. Waygan also wants to know if our traffic engineer has read the finding for Number 22, <br /> about the crosswalk located just before the entrance. Based on these data points in the revised <br /> study, one or more commercial entrances average queuing at 25-35% of the time. <br /> Mr. Lucas stated given presented data, that is a reasonable interpretation. There are 50%, <br /> 95%, and worst 5% of the time queuing. That 25-30% isn't stated in the reference. <br /> Ms. Waygan would like it stated where that number was generated from, the percentage of <br /> what time? Is it while the store is open, a 24-hour period, peak hours, just tighten that up with <br /> time of day. <br /> Jean Christy, consulting Board engineer stated Condition 18, referencing incorporations from <br /> the Town's consulting engineer, could it be more specific? <br /> Mr. Tobin noted it can be struck, it was more of a nod to the Board, depending on the way the <br /> vote would go this evening, he can double back and confirm if any conditions are missing he <br /> can add them. <br /> 15 <br />
