Mother’s Park Road, Centerville – Endorsement of Roadway Discontinuance and Taking Plans Background A discontinuance of land and Taking Plan have been submitted in accordance with M.G.L. Ch. 41 §81L entitled “Roadway Discontinuance Plan, Mother’s Park Road, Village of Centerville, Barnstable, Massachusetts” prepared for Town of Barnstable, by Town of Barnstable and “Roadway Taking Plan Mother’s Park Road” prepared for Town of Barnstable, by Town of Barnstable. The plan of land proposes to discontinue Mother’s Park Road and the taking of abutting land as described on the plans for the following reasons: The Town is proceeding with plans to install sewers and related infrastructure in Centerville. These proposed takings of the fee in Mother’s Park Road will enable the Town to install an underground sewer pump station in the former roadway as a vital component of the Town’s approved Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan. The Town also contemplates making alterations to Mother’s Park to correct severe turning and sightline deficiencies at the intersection of Craigville Beach Road. Article 97 of the Amendments to the State Constitution requires the Town to substitute land to replace that removed from the current configuration of Mother’s Park. The taking of this land will allow the Town to add significant square footage to Mother’s Park in excess of that actually removed for the safety improvements. Procedure Town Council referred action to abandon Mother’s Park Road to the Planning Board for consideration and to take abutting land as described on the plans. The Planning Board, on February 27, 2023, recommended to Town Council abandonment of Mother’s Park Road as identified on “Roadway Discontinuance Plan, Mother’s Park Road, Village of Centerville, Barnstable, Massachusetts”, by Town of Barnstable and “Roadway Taking Plan Mother’s Park Road” prepared for Town of Barnstable, by Town of Barnstable. Town Council then affirmed the recommendation and approved the discontinuance of Mother’s Park. The next step is for the Board to endorse the plan entitled “Roadway Discontinuance Plan Mother’s Park Road” prepared for Town of Barnstable, by Town of Barnstable, dated April 15, 2023 and “Roadway Taking Plan Mother’s Park Road” prepared for Town of Barnstable, by Town of Barnstable, dated April 15, 2023. This should occur in two separate motions: 3 Motion: To (endorse or not to endorse) the plan entitled “Roadway Discontinuance Plan Mother’s Park Road” prepared for Town of Barnstable, by Town of Barnstable, dated April 15, 2023.
