tl �J <br /> Town O .M ash e e Aannina Board- <br /> .; <br /> \nJ 3,10117.E <br /> 16 Great Neck RoadWorth <br /> Nashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br /> Mr. Lehrer said he tries to be professional when providing council to the Board using technical best <br /> practice and he takes issue with the last two takeaways he has heard. Primarily, he really cares about <br /> the future of this Town, he is from here, and his grandparents built their house on Johns Pond in the <br /> 60's. He worked very hard on producing a data driven memo so the Town can understand what the <br /> impacts of doing nothing means. The scope of the memo was not in regards to design. When you do a <br /> Build out analysis pursuant to zoning bylaw, the affordable housing projects are not permitted under <br /> local zoning. It would not make any sense from a technical analysis point of view in a buildout analysis <br /> that is using zoning. They are 40b projects. 40b allows a developer to circumvent zoning and he cannot <br /> anticipate what a developer would do. He very clearly pointed out mixed used development in all <br /> commercial areas for diversified housing. Mashpee Commons just so happens to own a lot of property. <br /> He was offering analysis pursuant to the Development Agreement application. This matters to him. He <br /> does not try to insert opinion or be a policy maker, but he cares intensely and he will continue to do his <br /> best. <br /> Ms. Barbee elaborated she was not intending to malign his character, she was just curious if that was <br /> an oversight. A lot of people care a lot, and it's not that they are opposed to changes in Mashpee there <br /> will be changes, she wants them to be appropriate. We would love to see a Development Agreement. <br /> The memo didn't seem to have a broad perspective on what zoning could be. Her interpretation implied <br /> that this was the only way we would get affordable housing. <br /> Mr. Fulone stated the application is still in the works. The Town will be involved every step of the way. <br /> The Development Agreement will go to Town Meeting for the residents to approve or not approve. <br /> Before that we will seek input, public comment, discussion during the Development Agreement, and <br /> then it will go to Town Meeting and residents vote to pursue it or not. <br /> Mr. Lehrer wanted to add that the primary takeaway should have been that affordable housing <br /> development is very limited. Under current zoning, except OSID, at best can produce 40 units. 40b is <br /> not local zoning so it wouldn't be included. He could make a note of it, but it would bear no impact. We <br /> don't have the potential to create affordable or diversified housing under current regulations, that's the <br /> facts. <br /> APPROVAL OF MINUTES —September 01, 2021 <br /> Ms. Waygan referred to page 7, the amended motion says "as required by MEPA". She wanted to note <br /> that refers to the environmental impact report and not the traffic study. <br /> MOTION <br /> Mr. Balzarini made a motion to accept the minutes for September 1, 2021 meeting minutes with <br /> aforementioned edit. Seconded by Mr. Phelan. All in favor. <br /> PUBLIC HEARING —7:10p.m. (Continued from 8/18/21) <br /> Applicant: Longfellow Design Build <br /> Location: 9 Shellback Way/647 Falmouth Road (Route 28) <br /> Request: Requesting a special permit to construct a 12,500 s.f. commercial <br /> building to be used for retail grocery sales on a 4 acre +/- parcel <br /> 4 <br />
