The Planning Board has scheduled a site walk at 6 Scott Dyer Road for Saturday, March 22, 2025 at 8:00 AM.  The Town is requesting a site plan amendment at this location adjacent to the Spurwink School, to construct a basketball court.  The Town Council approved the construction of the new outdoor basketball court at the August 19, 2024 Special Meeting.  The budget was set at $165,000, with $16,500 to be raised by the community group Cape Hoops and the remaining $148,500 to be drawn from the Town's unassigned fund balance.

The Planning Board voted the application complete at the March 18, 2025 meeting and voted to table consideration to approve the request until April 15.  In addition to conducting a site walk, the board is requesting the application submission be revised to include information on signage, fencing, and garbage.  Deed information has also been requested.

At the same meeting, the Planning Board also reviewed the Town's request for a site plan amendment for the Thomas Memorial Library to construct a 19' long by 22' wide connector from Holman Road intersecting with the library parking lot.  This request is made in conjunction with the construction of the basketball court and is coordinated by the Public Works Director and the Library Director.  The connector itself is part of the larger Town Center Intersection project which will straighten and separate Scott Dyer Road and Shore Road intersections onto Ocean House Road.  In doing so, the widths of these roadways will be narrowed with the elimination of the center islands and the Holman Road connection onto Scott Dyer Road.  To provide access to the properties along Holman Road that are currently connected to Scott Dyer Road, access through the library site will be created with this stub connection.

The Planning Board deemed the application complete and voted to approve the application subject to revisions which address the comments made in a March 11 Memo from Wright-Pierce Engineering, wayfinding signage, and signage preventing the blocking of the intersection.
