CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Bart Pacekonis called the Regular Meeting to order at 8:10 p.m.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
NEW BUSINESS: Discussion/Decision/Action regarding the following:
- Annual Meeting was postponed until the next regular meeting in January because the full commission was not present.
- Discussion regarding the public information meeting of the South Windsor Sidewalk & Bikeway Subcommittee regarding sidewalks adjacent to Wapping Community Church (see attached Public notice)
Town Engineer, Jeff Doolittle, described present and future sidewalks in the town center area and the question of how to get from the library and town hall to Sullivan Avenue and Buckland Road. He showed a map of the area and described two scenarios for placement of sidewalks at the Wapping Community Church corner. One option showed a 4’ to 5’ sidewalk on Sullivan Avenue in front of the church wall requiring plantings to be relocated or replaced. The second option for sidewalks in that area is to construct them behind the church on Petersen Way. This would require removal and reconstruction of a portion of the church wall and result in a longer sidewalk and would be at a higher cost.
The Commission came to unanimous consensus that the placement of sidewalks on State owned property in front of Wapping Community Church on Sullivan Avenue would best serve the town in the creation of a walk-able pedestrian friendly town center as planned for in the Town Plan of Conservation and Development and reinforced in the recently adopted South Windsor Center regulations. A letter of support for this placement will be written to the South Windsor Sidewalk & Bikeway Sub-Committee of the Town Council for their December 16th informational meeting.
