as to the hotel site located on East Steeple street . Mr. Chace i confirmed there is a hotel interested in the site, which is the site originally permitted for this use. The only change being as an accessory use, the possibility of the second floors to become apartments. Mr. F'udala noted also the request for dimensional changes . Mr. Baker commented he feels a lot of this information is confusing because the end results are not being considered, but rather the difference between the end result and what has been originally permitted. Mr. Chace clarified there will be n difference in the building volumes on East Steeple Street. Mr. Baker asked if Mashpee Commons Ltd. Partnership would retain ownership of the development on JobI Fishing Road. Mr. Chace replied, "No,, not exclusively" . Mr. Baler explained his concern is for the groundwater discharge and asked if this development would be serviced by septic systems. Mr. Chace stated here are a number of alternatives under Title V, and that it has not yet been decided which would be the west strategy from the Town and regulatory agencies view. Eery one of the units, whether commercial, office or residential will have a wash water treatment. Mr. Storrs stated regardless of ownership, they will always be treated in the waste grater treatment plant. Mr. Baler asked about the discharge location, stating this question has been in existence for more than tern 1 years. He expressed his concern for the Mashpee Kiger. Mr. Chace responded by stating his desire to do whatever the Town feels would be prudent with, regard to the waste water system. Mr. Storrs stated the point of discharge will go where it has the least or zero impact upon the Mashpee Kiger, ocway Bay, and the Santuit River. The ultimate answer will be revealed within the next year or two, regardless of the zoning. There was some discussion regarding waste water treatment. Mr. Baker expressed concerns regarding a definite solution to the ground water discharge problem. He stated he is concerned about changing zoning based upon a statement here will be a solution at some point in the future. Mr. Storrs stated the process of discharge will be the same regardless of zoning. Mr. Barer stated the ultimate solution, .in his opinion, would be the creation of a Sewer Treatment Plant, including the filter beds, downstream from the Nater District well sites on Hock Landing Road. He suggested a Regional Sewer District be created which would relocate effluent to that location and end u in Nantucket Sound. one solution being to enlarge the Mashpee Commons Treatment Plant which effluent could be piped to the location. He suggested Windchime and Seamist Developments ments could do the same.
