Applicant has requested reconsideration from the National Heritage and Endangered Species Program, as both East Steeple Street and Trout Pond are covered under priority mapping.area. However, Forth Market Street, East Steeple Street, and Trout Pond fall under Cape Cod Commission significant natural resource area. National Heritage has made a site visit/review of the area and has agreed to remove East Steeple Street from the priority mapping area. Both parties have agreed to a hold on the Trout Pond-as there are unique issues in this regard. The Trout Pond area will not be included in-the Development Agreement application, Applicant will proceed only with North Market Street Phase II, and East Steeple Street.(which the Commission has endorsed). Mr. Storrs made reference to a letter received from the Mashpee Water District indicating that the area around the Mashpee Rotary would never be considered as a public water supply area clue to conditions resulting from the existing gas station. POINT OF INFORMATION: It was brought to the Board's attention that said letter is not dated; it is hereby noted that said letter was received on or about November 187 20097 by the Mashpee Planning Board. (Undated/unsigned letter from Mashpee Water District to Cape Cod Commission, Attention Phil ascomb : "Dear Mr. asnmbe, I have been asked to comment on the potential water supply site east of-the Mashpee Commons around the Mashpee rotary [near fonna's Lane]. The Mashpee Water District has no plan to pursue any well site in any of-the future planned areas around the Commons. If you have any questions, please let nee know. Regards, Andrew Marks,, Operations Manager"). The original communication was wade in the form of an e-mail. East Steeple Street Model —Two and three story buildings with terminated vistas. Commercial Street to onna's Lane is a pinwheel one-way green with an 'exit onto Great Neck Road South. There is a proposed building for age restricted housing. References were made to the elevations, o-ft. wide bays, overpacking located beneath the.building. Residents can publicly walk to Mashpee Commons and South Cape Village; and also enjoy private courtyard areas 1 -feet above Route 28. The Town Planner clarified that the bylaw requirement is for 2- . parking bay. Mr. Storrs indicated that the project would consist of mixed-use, similar to the core of Mashpee Commons, softening towards the edge. Applicant feels that the best approach relative to a market and community standpoint is to provide for smaller increment buildings, smaller footprint commercial mixed-use buildings. Mr. Storrs stated a hotel use is no longer being proposed due to fma ncin difficulties. There are plans,for North Market Street for live/work opportunities (boat repair, carpentry workshop, etc.).
