VILLAGE PLANNING
COMMITTEE
Recommendations for the
Common
Immediate Action
Items
- Leave the current
blacktop area as is. (48') However, limit parking to
angled parking on common side and parallel parking on the
town office side.
- Add short white lines to
the parking area and make the area one-way from Route 137
to Old Dublin Road. Add directional signs as
appropriate.
- Place signs at Old
Dublin Road end of parking area indicating additional
parking is available behind the Town Offices.
- Have a historically
accurate, professionally designed landscape plan put in
place for the Common
Intermediate Action
Items
- Add a walking path from
the front parking area to the rear of the Town Offices to
access the meeting room.
- Add granite curbing to
prevent vehicles from parking on the Common and to define
the entire parking area as well as protecting and
defining the entire Common.
- Add new loam, re-seed
and add underground irrigation system to the Common.
- Add some type of
screening in front of the parking area (hedge, fence) so
that it is less visible from Main Street.
- Eliminate the small turn
around area that now exists on the Common (to the east of
the flag pole) and reactivate the adjacent water
fountain. Install a wood barricade as a temporary
measure.
- Replace the exterior
lighting (located at the rear of the Town Office Building
and adjacent to the common path) with less harsh lighting
and more attractive light standards.
Longer term Action Items
- Consider chip sealing
the entire parking area when it is time to re-seal the
parking area in the next 2 to 3 years.
- Chip seal the current
path through the Common at the same time.
