3 ac.r.es,per unit: fardlthe entire town, so thats even less at tractive approach to wveloprc,ent. This is not contingent by anybody to be the one measure by the town too retain the 1 unit per acre unifor.niy throughout the town. . Technically, on the basis of hater quality, it' s hard to oppose 1 acre ainiiiuin zoning for a town that has no water supplies. What we are doing is catching up with our bylaws, which we should have done 10 years ago. We have alot of catching up to adjust what has been subdivided and encourage the developers to approach it in a different fashion. George: The number of plans that has come before the plann- ing board, the number of preliminary plans that have come be- fore the planning board in anticipation of this change R1 ,R21 R3M. . . Any ballpark figure on how many additional plans have come in over and above what you would ordinarily expect at this time and how many additional lots that it would translate into? R. TerrY : We don' t have a ballpark figure as to the exact number of lots. We 've discussed back and forth philosophically how many plans would come in if weYad gone more gradually. You can' t win either way. and you can' t predict whether we would have less lots if we had gone more gradually. It can be argued we would of had less. (Audience member) The moratorium that was proposed a year ago when alot of people went in for quick building permits, and when the moratorium didn' t pass the building permits were allow ed to expire. I have been trying to do some calculations and it doesn' t seem unreasonable to say that you got an addi- tional 2500 - 3500 lots over and above what you ordinarily might have expected at this time. I am in the real estate business for 20 years. I have lived in lvlashpee for 22 years. I have seen l,,iashpee grow and am here because I think it is the best town on Cape Cod. I want to stay here, my family isYere and I don' t want to see it ruined. . .water quality, size, or anything. There are some important things we should consider before we make a decision to go to acre zoning. First, the town when go to acre zoning,in this bylaw is taking every area of R1 and R2 and making it a blanket change. Some areas: Popponnessett, ilionomscoy, Santuit Woods, Johns Pond; the es- tablished neighborhoods from which 0/6 of us come from are in those areas which are 1/3 or;:2 acre zoned right now. When each one of us puts up our hand and votes for this article to make it Rain , you' re voting technically to make your own acre where you live or the block you own and haven' t built on, a non-conforming lot. Bank attorneys, bankers, attorneys-- how would they treat you as an individual corning from an R11 R2 area that is now an R3ii area requiring 40,000 sq. ft requiring 150 ft. frontage. How do they view you coming before their board, and they look at the grandfather clause and they know what the grandfather clause is intending to do.
