Town !J ��1 aS�t r2 rE' �Cannin Baard~ <br /> 16 great'Neck RDadXorth <br /> 'Mashpee, 'Massachusetts 02649 <br /> Seth —All for progress. People in this room and Town need to know what the Board is doing. A lot of <br /> the uproar has been nobody knows what is going on behind the scenes. The citizens want the <br /> information, can't trust without it. There is no rush on this, we have to worry about traffic, infrastructure, <br /> etc. Wild unnecessary progress will not work with this group or Town, we need teamwork between <br /> citizens and Board and Mashpee Commons. Citizens will fight if they need to. <br /> Elena Doyle- Over 80% of the housing on Cape Cod was developed before she was born, 38% is rental <br /> or seasonal. When she had her daughter, happiest and most defeating week, tried desperately to find <br /> housing. Housing was sparse, not talking about affordable, she had the money, and there were just no <br /> homes/apartments available in their price range. This was 4 years ago, everyone here has not faced <br /> the housing crisis. Her generation is leaving, the younger population cannot afford to live here. There is <br /> a need to rush for the middle class. <br /> Mary Adams Alexa- She was part of the amazing community that was in support of the water <br /> cleanliness project, the risks from Nitrogen and Phosphorus were not well understood, in this case <br /> there are a lot of risks we are aware of and need to be addressed. Water continues to be a big risk, all <br /> kinds of housing is a big problem, streets are regularly backing up, MA and investors are pushing for a <br /> net zero future, MA goal by 2050, halfway there by 2030. Energy efficiency is important and we need to <br /> understand how this will affect the Town. Planners do your homework, you were elected to represent <br /> the people and interest of Mashpee in the long term. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity if it is done <br /> in a smart way. Do your homework and share it. <br /> Arden Russell- Four weeks to review a zoning proposal of this magnitude is insufficient. Speed and lack <br /> of community involvement breeds mistrust. Allowing a developer to write zoning for our community is <br /> inappropriate, the Planning Board is not advancing the project of a developer and approving a zoning <br /> change prior to executing the Development Agreement, which is incorrect. She had done zoning <br /> amendment for another town, much smaller bylaw, took 18 months to be sure it responds to input and <br /> desires of that community, and she expects the same effort here. <br /> Marjorie Hecht-Very disappointed our elected members are rushing through this zoning bylaw in record <br /> time for Mashpee Commons, without considering the residents. Two minutes without discussion is <br /> ridiculous. This zoning will affect this Town forever, change the character of the Town, two minutes is <br /> silly. Would you let a contractor build a house without looking at the plan in detail? How many stories? <br /> How large? How many trees will come down? Where will the wastewater go? We haven't seen any <br /> details from Mashpee Commons, where are these 1.2 million sq. ft. of commercial space of two <br /> Hyannis malls going in Mashpee? Where is the traffic or environmental impact study? What's 1700 <br /> more houses? A Mashpee Commons spokesman in this room said years ago they couldn't afford to do <br /> affordable housing. We need a detailed blueprint of what's going where in the next 5, 10 years. You <br /> represent us, not Mashpee commons, get the plan, and negotiate Development Agreement before a <br /> zoning bylaw. I've been at these meetings for three/four years, she is emotional and is worried for the <br /> future of Mashpee. <br /> Ellie -How many of you go to Town Meeting where your vote counts? Tell your friends! I just want the <br /> people to know they have a choice, a hand, and a voice. USE IT!! <br /> 5 <br />
