J R, Dubin That ' s the way zoning maps normally work. You don' t specifically change a general area because there ' s one existing neighborhood in it. I don' t think onveyances are going to leave problems with that grandfather clause. I think grandfather supplements the zoning map and that will make it clear to people the established neighborhoods aren' t affected by the change in the zoning map, insofar as the owner meets the criteria of the new 5.5• jj.L. beyeloper : I' d like to believe it and I now what the intent is. There ' s a gray area here. . I still fail to see the prattical season why a iiono:,iscoy or Fjeconnsett is going; to be acre zonin- when. that entire area has been subdivided and is a record of it so. (Audience ) One of the concerns withiliashpee is on the federal program, is where do we get the money? It ' s xiice to say riaslipee can purchase land, but there is no honey i own 2 lots, 1 house , 1 site. If we were at the present time , the estiwa,: of 2500 , 3500 new lots in Piashpee , that means 2500 - 3500 potential new homes in i'liashpee; that doesn' t mean condominiums. Out of those new homes, we are looking at possibly 1 child per new home. That is one tremendous load on the school system we presently have; 2500 - 3500 possible children. Also, there would be a tremendous load on the police and fire depts. I' m not saying I' rn for 40,000 sq. ft. or against Line thing for sure , if half of those people who put in for those particular lots were to say forget it because we voted against 40,000 sq. ft. , we could eliminate possible 1500 new homes. iiaybe down the road, if we have some of the money, then to purchase some of the property that developer wanted to put in. If you got 2500 - 3500 new lots to be sold, that developer is going to sell them and we cannot purchase those lots at a price that we would be able to if we bought 'from that particular developer. Anyone who has filed for development or subdivision at this point is doing it to protect the interest they have on those lots and if they didn' t file it today, they' ll file it tom- morrow. If we don' t pass the bill they' ll file it next year and they are still going to build houses one way or another. And the next time you pass some sort of a threat to move on the buildability of those houses or lots they are going to do the same thing today. R. Dubin -- We ' ve gotten to the point land is so expensive and if we want to purchase land, it will take a big bite out of everyones tax bill. If we want to preserve open space that is the only known way to do it.
