Gould, Planning Officer SUBIECT: Amending The Official Map Parallel Service Road Council Ordinance 06-338 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its regularly scheduled meeting on October 17, 2006 held a Public Hearing on the above Official Map Amendment. Jim Ring, City Engineer, provided a brief history of the Parallel Service Road and the Penjajawoc Marsh Bangor Mall Task Force report that recommended elimination of the roadway in lieu of interconnecting commercial developments on each side of the marsh. There were no additional proponents or opponents to the proposed charge. Some Board Members were concerned that the elimination of the proposed right-of-way =old eliminate options towards Improving traffic Flow on Stillwater Avenue. Planning Officer Gould noted that the roadway designation on the Official Map was no guarantee that the road would be built, but a formal adoption of a policy to preserve that right-of-way. It will be new development which will provide the actual construction, either through a parallel service road or interconnection of commercial developments. Mr. Ring noted that one of the undertying principles of the Marsh Mall Task Force recommendation was to work to improve existing infrastructure before seeking to add new infrastructure. Planning Officer Gould noted the Task Force report had been presented numerous gimes to the City Council and before the Planning Board. This action is the Implementation of that adopted policy. The Board voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that it adopt the proposed amendment to the Official Map contained in Council Order 06-338. Q& 338 3. Connector between Wldewaters and W/S Development sites This would involve constructing a short new connector mad between two large development sites located on Me northeasterly side of Stillwater Avenue --the Wldewaters she on Me souMNPStarly Skle of the PenljajawOc Stream and the W/S ago on Me rhMeastety side. The connector road would be located immediately to the rear of existing development along Stillwater Avenue and would likely require only two lanes. It would Involve crossing the stream near Me existing private bridge that currently serves an existing residence. While a new stream crossing would be created, it wouk have significantly less environmental impact than Me crossing associated with the current Parallel Servke Road concept The new crossing would allow for elimination and removal of Me existing private crossing. Furthermore, Me new connector mad can and should be designed so Mat no direct runoff or discharge to the Pengawoc Steam Is created. The site design of Me Wldewater and W/S development projects would integrate with Me new connector to provide a continuous travel route from Gilman Road to Hogan Road and reduce bri impacts on Stillwater Avenue. This; new connector, In conjunction with Me preceding recommendations, would eliminate the need for constructing the portion of the currently proposed Parallel Service Road between Gilman Road and Hogan Road. It should be noted MM permits from several Regulatory Agencies would be required prior to construction of Me connector road. The recommendations listed above are presented in descending order of pdodty. The traffic analysis conducted for Me Task Force concludes Mat, by cmeMl Implementation of Mese measures, level of service along Stillwater Avenue and adjacent areas would be equal to or slightly better (in some respects) Man current conditions. While Me foregoing recommendations focus on vehicular traffic, the Task Force also supports measures Mat reduce the need for vehicular travel, Including expanded public transportation service, possible shuttle opportunities, and additional pedestrian/bicycle connections. 961 C—xN�ca��- A w awi Oar! 06r n nn0 fi i INI6F YFL61[XI MVEL RIY[fli NI / 04 goal •' pp4 N es W�If 7Y !!9 16� 067 n 0� "• 7!A'iIlr 5 0
