Bill Blaisdell asked; "if the Board grants something tonight it would have to be contingent upon the Planning Board agreeing that we now have contingent dates and if we were to grant an extension, are you willing to give us a plan to show us that you are actually going to do something?" Michael Ford addressed the Board and said; "the Planning Board Special Permit is already extended to the April 14, 2014 date under the Permit Extension Act." Bill Blaisdell asked; "would you be asking us to extend the existing Comprehensive Permit up to the same date, referring to the Findings 1-23 of the memo?" Michael Ford said; "yes, Findings 1-23 of the memo simply state the Planning Board Special Permit and the Comprehensive Permit are coterminous." Bill Blaisdell said; "according to Pat Costello, the Board is not in violation of any meeting laws. Doug Storrs said; "in fact, Pat Costello stated in his email dated Friday, March 22, 2013; "A full public hearing under GL c. 40B is not required to implement an insubstantial change to a comprehensive permit." John Dorsey asked; "what will happen on April 2, 2014." Doug mentioned in order to preserve the permit, four houses have to be under construction prior to April 2, 2014. The construction will start this fall. The financing of this project will be the real challenge. Bill Blaisdell made a motion to approve the request for an open discussion from Job -Whitings Trust of Chapter 40B Mashpee Commons Comprehensive Permit granted to Jobs -Whitings Trust on February 7, 2007 for property located off Rt. 151 and Rt. 28 comprised of parcels shown as Map 73, Lot 10, Map 74, Lot 34 and Map 74, Lot 20 is granted. This is contingent upon the extension of the Planning Board Special Permit that expires on April 2, 2014 to coincide with expiration date be the same for the Comprehensive Permit issued by Zoning Board of Appeals and references the letter and Findings 1-23, dated March 8, 2013 sent to Jonathon Furbush, Chairman of Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals, from Doug Storrs on behalf of Jobs -Whitings Trust and a letter from Town Council, Patrick Costello, dated March 22, 2013 sent to Jonathan Furbush, Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals related to this matter.
