Vote: 6-0-0 Orleans Department of Public Works Sparrowhawk Landing The proposed installation of a 12' x 18' asphalt patch over the existing road bed. Tom Daley from Orleans DPW stated the asphalt landing is in need of repair. The plan is to stabilize the landing at this time by replacing the broken asphalt and restoring the area to what existed in previous years. Tom stated the landing is constrained by private property ownership on both sides and that damage to the asphalt is the result of vehicles trying to turn around in the small area allotted. Tom reported this is a temporary repair in response to complaints from the public, but would be open to revisiting this project with long term changes. Dick Colville, a neighbor, stated his thoughts on possible materials used to replace the asphalt and his concern for the deterioration of the landing. Rich Nadler stated his concern for using gravel on the landing as it would eventually end up in the salt marsh. Judith Bruce suggested landscape timbers to be used as containment so vehicles do not drive over the asphalt into the marsh. Tom stated at this time he is proposing a temporary solution but will entertain a more permanent method for the future. He mentioned he could have a consulting firm come look at possibilities for the future of the landing this week. Motion: A motion to approve the Administrative Review with the Condition that the DPW will present to the Commission at a later date, a long term solution to fixing/restoring Sparrowhawk Landing, was made by Ginny Farber and seconded by Judith Bruce.
