Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review
The Town of Barnstable DPW Engineering Department has completed the requested review of the
Preliminary Subdivision Form B submission and Preliminary Subdivision Plan titled “307 MAIN
STREET PRELIMINARY PLAN IN HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS (BARNSTABLE
COUNTY)” Prepared by Beals and Thomas, Inc. and dated 1-23-2024. The aforementioned
documents were reviewed for compliance with the Town of Barnstable Planning Board
Subdivision Regulations, and the following discrepancies between the regulations and submitted
documents are listed below.
· All plan sheets should be signed, stamped, and dated by the responsible registered
Massachusetts Professional Engineer (P.E.) and/or Professional Land Surveyor (P.LS.).
· The plan should depict the classification of the proposed subdivision roadway as a major,
secondary, minor A, or minor B street.
· Site distance should be analyzed in both directions given the potential for conversion to
two-way traffic on Old Colony Road. Also confirm that minimum required site distance
is met.
· Provide the right-of-way width for the proposed subdivision access road shown on the
“Lotting Plan” sheet.

· Identify the location of the access driveway to serve Lot 5 and confirm adequate site
distance is met.
· The proposed catch basins closest to Old Colony Road need to be shifted so they are not
within the town owned right of way.
· A sidewalk should be included along the Old Colony Road frontage connecting to the
existing sidewalk at the intersection of Main Street and Old Colony Road.
· Provide a curb inlet catch basin, leach pit, and overflow structure connected to the
municipal stormwater collection system to the south of the proposed access road along
Old Colony Road.
Before the preliminary plan and Form B application submittals can be accepted the discrepancies
noted must be corrected. Please make the requested plan and application changes and then
resubmit for additional review.
