Open Discussion- The Chairman conducted an open discussion between the Planning Board and the audience. The groups main concern seems to be the adequacy of Turkey Bridge to access the development for life saving equipment as a one lane bridge vs. a 2 lane bridge. Also there is some concern about some areas of Brook Rd., Prescott Rd., Hale Rd. and Morrison Rds. and their capability to support two lanes of traffic. Dick Gardner would like to add under Task 5 in the Traffic Study- including the service adequacy of the 1 lane Turkey Bridge. Also the Board would like to include- review of bottlenecks of all access rds. where they go from 2 lanes to 1 lane. The Board also wants to get the State Report on the structure of Turkey Bridge.
On the Wetland Study, the Board would like to add- Concerns: How snow removal will affect immediate aquafirs and the neighboring well systems. It was stated that the Conservation Commission has no issue with the wetlands.
