MASHPEE COMMONS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP <br /> Andrew Gottlieb, Chairman <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Town of Mashpee <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> Dear Mr. Chairman, <br /> I am writing to request the Town's support for our filing a Notice of Intent to apply for a <br /> Development Agreement with the Cape Cod Commission and to encourage the Town to join as <br /> an active partner in the process. The first step in the process is to notify the Cape Cod <br /> Commission of the intent to file for a Development Agreement with the CCC and the Town of <br /> Mashpee. <br /> Based on work done over the last several years and the feedback gathered from the multiple <br /> public dharrettes,the team at Mashpee Commons has been working through different zoning <br /> concepts and models for appropriate expansion of Mashpee Commons. <br /> The right type of development has the potential to: <br /> - make significant strides toward addressing the housing crisis <br /> - spark economic development <br /> - add year-round jobs <br /> - help restore the water quality of the Mashpee River <br /> - create a controllable and appropriate level of growth to keep property taxes down <br /> Arriving at the best outcome will require looking beyond a zoning change. Broader issues <br /> concerning economic development, fiscal impact of any proposed development, and how on- <br /> site wastewater capacity fits with the Towns overall wastewater plans need to be addressed. <br /> The best process is one that is comprehensive and inclusive. The Development Agreement <br /> process(summary attached) is the best way to achieve that goal. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> MASHPEE COMMONS - NORTH MARKET STREET <br /> P.O. BOX 1530 - MASHPEE, MA 02649 0 508/477-5400 0 FAX 508/477-4506 <br />
