" � l <br /> 1own of Mas i2ee Aanning Board <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts o2649 <br /> the Town to get any independent impact studies on various levels of environmental, economic, housing, <br /> retail space, etc. Store fronts are closing and online shopping is leading the way, he doesn't even know <br /> if it is sustainable to have that much commercial space in the area. This is helpful for independent <br /> review and analysis on behalf of the Town to inform our negotiations in the DA. He has concerns with <br /> establishing parameters, looking at what current property owners are entitled to by right under current <br /> zoning, how much room are we willing to bend? Don't want us bending over backwards and not have <br /> many proffers as a result. It is only fair for the Town, and in the best interest of citizens to set up <br /> parameters on what they are allowed to build by right now under current zoning. Mr. Chace stated <br /> under current zoning it's not financially viable. So that initiated this whole process. The Town is not <br /> willing to bend over backwards to one project proponent. Parameters need to be established before the <br /> DA is drafted or zoning is amended. <br /> Mr. Gottlieb asked what is that legal by right future currently look like and do we like it? We aren't <br /> comparing what's there now, its empty open space and trees, we are comparing what's legally <br /> buildable and permissible now versus what they are proposing. It feels radically different. The gap has <br /> to be narrower. Which is better for the Town, he doesn't have that answer or the information on where <br /> start. <br /> Ms. Waygan stated on June 2 Mashpee Commons presented on just C1 zoning. There are several <br /> zonings that apply to this land. C1, they have a comprehensive permit, a couple special permits, and <br /> the OSID bylaw. She would like to see maximum buildouts based on those zoning bylaws, it might be <br /> most advantageous to have our own independent consultant, and then you can play around with <br /> different zoning types and maybe keep chapter 40b or all OSID etc. It can give us max numbers of sq. <br /> ft. not by right and all by special permit. One of things the developer wants is by right. Right now we <br /> don't have that. A good engineer will look at trends and provide a reasonable build out analysis. <br /> Mr. Gottlieb reiterated the developers own the land and the legal rights to process what they can do. <br /> They can do something and we need to understand what that is so we can articulate that to the Town. <br /> Right now we start talking about zoning and districts, and you lose everybody. There needs to be <br /> further discussions. We should figure out on our side some way to develop in its current state, but he is <br /> not asking CCC for that,just to be clear. <br /> Mr. Collins would like to know how many public hearings are anticipated, and when will the issue <br /> regarding height of proposals be thoroughly discussed and vetted? <br /> Ms. Senatori stated there are no set number of hearings that need to happen. That is what we need to <br /> decide for ourselves. We have the ability to work collaboratively, broadly based on impacts and how <br /> that review process goes. Do we proceed with subject matter or process? Looking at community <br /> character and design package will be part of the process. <br /> Ms. Waygan noted the building height is required in order for the application to be complete. It is stated <br /> in the regulations. It is not a complete application unless it has the height. <br /> 10 <br />
