l <br /> TownO aS <br /> e 2 Planning Board <br /> _� Q <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> 'Alashpee, .Massachusetts 02649 <br /> If CCC adopts the DA, then it will be presented to the Municipality for consideration <br /> Mr. Balzarini asked where the public hearings will be held, Mashpee? There was no mention to keeping <br /> the character of Cape Cod. Some of the policy plan says "the character". Lastly, there was nothing <br /> about the Planning Board being involved in the meetings. <br /> Ms. Senatori said there is a requirement that a hearing be held in the Town of Mashpee, and you want <br /> to make sure the public will participate. The Commission will make sure to have those hearings in <br /> Mashpee. Without too much detail of review process, they will be looking at consistency with RPP, <br /> which includes goals of community character and design guidelines. There are a variety of guidance <br /> documents leaning towards designing a future to honor the past. This is the opportunity to find the <br /> process. There should be opportunities for joint meetings and there will be subcommittees to parallel <br /> the process. <br /> Mr. Phelan mentioned the Community Activity Center and density. Is there a specific formula? One <br /> thing that came up was 1,700 units, how was that calculated? If zoning is pursued by the Town will that <br /> hold up the Commission in their review? Lastly, regarding 25 year plan, is that an unreasonable amount <br /> of time for a project to span? <br /> Ms. Senatori stated there is not a specific formula. Community Activity Centers are areas that can <br /> accommodate additional growth and density but it has to have the appropriate infrastructure. Certain <br /> design and the types of housing accommodates certain types of growth. The 1,700 is part of Mashpee <br /> Common's development proposal, she would rely on the applicant for that detailed information. The two <br /> processes follow parallel tracks. Local zoning will want to be in place prior to a DA being executed, but <br /> it could be paralleled as not to delay either process. They anticipated this being a lengthy project, a DA <br /> which is 7 years they often find need to be extended. This is not the first time the Development <br /> Agreement has requested an extended period of time. <br /> Mr. Gottlieb reiterated parallel tracks, but he asked if they could be sequential? Can the DA be <br /> hammered out and all three parties agree, then have zoning reflect the terms of the DA? The last step <br /> has to be the signing of the DA, which has to follow the adoption of the zoning? He is concerned they <br /> will come up with an agreement that has certain items then they change the zoning and the DA doesn't <br /> get executed. How does one think about ensuring the integrity of the process? <br /> Ms. Senatori responded with they can be sequential and this decision would need to be made at a local <br /> level. She does think there is some merit in zoning discussions happening simultaneously. There is <br /> sequencing that could happen and a variety of ways that the zoning could change. If parallel tracks <br /> were to happen both zoning and subcommittee conversations ensue, there wouldn't be a finalized DA <br /> until that zoning is in place. DA could be approved conditionally upon that zoning change. She went on <br /> to say conditional approvals would be included, maybe amendments to the zoning at some point, the <br /> Cape Cod Commission can help map out the process. <br /> Mr. Gottlieb followed up with how does the Town sign off on a three party agreement, is there a formal <br /> process? If the Town is not in agreement with the DA can it proceed to the Commission for approval? <br /> 5 <br />
