parking lot and a smaller 28 space puking lot that is located closer to the proposed J <br /> softball field =d outdoor basketball court. This access roadway also leads to the <br /> proposed comps►st area. Regarding access into the compost area, we recommend that the <br /> entrance to the compost area be relocated as the turning radii of the currently proposed <br /> entranceway =ry pose significant difficulty for large equipment entering the site. We <br /> recommend relc cating the center of the entranceway to a point 40-50 feet further east of <br /> the proposed en trance. This requirement is included as a stipulation in Resolution SA. <br /> The applicant I m proposed to provide all-weather heavy duty paving for the access <br /> roadway leading j to the compostlyard waste site and the entrance apron for this site. We <br /> believe that this pavement will not be sufficient to accommodate the maneuvering of large <br /> vehicles accessi ig the compost site. We recommend a heavier-duty pavement suface be <br /> utilized for the access roadway leading to the compostlyard waste site and the entrance <br /> apron. We bdi eve that the proposed pavement will be adequate for parking spaces and <br /> parking lot acce ss aisles. This requirement is included as a stipulation in Resolution 5A ' <br /> Parkins: The ►application proposes 149 parking spaces in two parking lots. The larger <br /> parking lot is F roposed to be a facility shared by both the Town and the School.

We believe that the proposed number of spaces is <br /> appropriate. <br /> PmI Sit-e- )A'e recommend a stipulation that requires the developer to install an <br /> appropriately-si zed, centrally-located restroom facility, including water and sewer <br /> connections. 'Ns amenity is consistent with other Town parks. This requirement is <br /> included as a st pulation in Resolution 5A <br /> BaNeld: The application presently proposes a softball field with a 200 foot outfield <br /> margin. This p-oposed axe would severely restrict the variety of program possible on this <br /> field. Therefor tti we recommend that the outfield margin for the ballfield be expanded to <br /> at least 240 fee. This requirement is included as a stipulation in Resolution 5A- <br /> Soccer FW& We recommend that the recreation fields be graded, in a manner to <br /> facilitate drains ge in order to be suitable for regular recreational use, with designs to be <br /> approved by the Town Manager. <br /> BiWje Trail: 4 10 foot wide bicycle trail begins at the lower, smaller parking lot on the <br /> park site. We -ecomrnend that bollards be installed at the entrance of this bicycle trail (at <br /> least one locks )le)in order to prevent vehicular access. We also,recommend that a public <br /> access easeme:it be dedicated to the Town for the bicycle trail at aU locations where the <br /> trail is deeded i o other entities(examples-Homeowners dissociation, School Board). <br /> Mature Tra: A four-foot wide natural-surface trad is proposed to wind throughout the <br /> northern and a astern portions of the ark site.
