Developersshop traffic plan for Stop &Shop
Comment period on draft
EIR ends Sept. 7
By David Still II
dstill@barnstablepatriot.com
ROAD BLOCK? - Attorney Jamie Connors, representing Independence Park, points out an area
he said is leased from the state by Liberty Square Plaza which the proposed Stop & Shop may
infringe upon.
A proposal for a new Stop & Shop on
Route 132 in Hyannis is far from being
in the bag (paper or plastic?), but it did
receive a mostly positive reception from
the Cape Cod Commission subcommittee
reviewing it this week.
Traffic was a major topic of discus-
sion for the subcommittee, which saw
a computer simulation for new traffic
patterns resulting from both the develop-
ment and the state's planned widening
of Route 132 from Phinney's Lane to Exit
6. The simulation, presented by consul-
tant Vanasse, Hangin & Brustlin, showed
improved flow at nearly all points along
Route 132, from the Mid-Cape Highway
in to the proposed location.
The focal point of mitigation for the
project , proposed by Atlantis Develop-
ment, is a new connector road between
Route 132 and Attucks Lane, essentially
an extension of Bearse's Way. The new
supermarket would have direct access to
the extension, not Route 132.
At 55,000 square feet, the footprint of
the proposal is only 4,000 more than the
existinglocation in Southwind Plaza less
than a mile away. With the use of base-
ment and mezzanine levels, the store
will increase the overall usable space by
about 18,000 square feet.
Issues such as economic impact, com-
munity character, groundwater, and fire
access were discussed at the meeting.
The subcommittee approved its com-
ment letter to the state's MEPA unit,
which is reviewing the draft environmen-
tal impact report (DEIR) for the project.
If it's approved , MEPA will spell out the
areas for which additional details will
be needed in the final EIR. If and when
that is approved , the commission's own
development of regional impact process
begins. Public comment on the draft EIR
extends to Sept. 7.
About half of the front parking lot for
the Liberty Plaza (Dunkin' Donuts, Cin-
gular) is within the state layout of Route
132. That was an issue when the plaza
was constructed , as it was built prior to
any arrangement with the state.
An attorney for Independence Park,
which now manages the property, said
that a lease exists with the state for the
parking lot. He expressed concerns about
possible infringement on that by the
supermarket project.
Attorney Jamie Connors said that he
hoped there would be an opportunity to
address that issue before the need to liti-
gate. Attorney Michael Ford, represent-
ing the developers, asked for a copy of
the documents, as he was unaware of the
issue prior to Connors's comments.
Two Marstons Mills residents spoke
in favor of the project and about Stop &
Shop in general. Tom Dolby, who chaired
the Marstons Mills Library's board of
trustees, and Linda Edson, the former
president of the Marstons Mills Village
Association, both recalled positively the
company's efforts in their village.
Comments should be sent to MEPA, 100 Cambridge St.,
Suite 8900, Boston,MA 02114
TOWN NOTES
First regulatory
agreements to town
council next week
Thefirst tworegulatory agree-
ments under the recently ad-
opted growth incentive zone
for downtown Hyannis will be
presented to the town council
next week, with a full hearing
planned for Sept. 21.
Robert Bradley's four-story
replacement of the former Hi-
bel Museum of Art at Main
and Ocean streets and the
retail/office/residential remake
by Ginsberg Asset Manage-
ment on Steven'sStreet gained
planning board approval two
weeks ago.
The councilwaslookingat the
possibilityofholdingaworkshop
on the development agreement
process, to establish standards
for the council's review.
AHOD hearing next
week
The proposed Affordable
Housing Overlay District will
be back before the town council
Thursday for a public hearing
and possible adoption.
The AHOD is intended as a
local,faster alternativefor devel-
opersto create mixedaffordable
and market-rate developments
than the state's Chapter 40B
process, which can be timely,
costlyand often adversarial.It is
alsoanopportunity for the town
to have more control over the
size and scale of projects.

Giggles and
glitches
Political press re-
leases are written
on the fly, and some-
times that fly opens
the wayto unintended
humor.
Take the e-mail we
received this week
that promised "father
details" about an an-
nouncement. Could
be aNewEnglandpro-
nunciation thing.
Then there was the
one from the candi-
date whoneeds apost-
SpellCheck check ,
whose backers "sup-
port about the need
for Balance on Beacon
Hill."
Web sites hold po-
tential for humor as
well. One hopeful isn't
thinking nautically
whenheconsiderswhy
"my piers are leaving
Massachusetts..."
