Summaries of the articles are as follows: +i 1. This article, which is based on a model bylaw prepared by the Cape Cod Commission, would authorize the Town to prepare and enter into long-term "development agreements" with developers,the Cape Cod Commission, adjacent towns and state agencies. Agreements would be negotiated by the Planning Board but would require approval by the Board of Selectmen. Such agreements would be binding contracts spelling out + the terms under which a project could be completed over a number of years, ■ what infrastructure, other Town facilities and programs, open space or other items of benefit p p , to the Town would be provided by the developer, • what impact fees would be paid, • what protections the developer might obtain from subsequent zoning and regulatory changes, • what streamlined permitting procedures might be established for construction done under the terms of the agreement and • other items of mutual interest between the parties to the agreement. The Town's ability to enter into such agreements is predicated on the Town having a Local .s Comprehensive Plan certified by the Cape Cod Commission as being consistent with the county's Regional Policy Plan. 2. This article would amend the zoning bylaw by adding the words "or Commonwealth of Massachusetts"after the phrase "is acquired by the town" in the first sentence of Subsection 174- 28.C. That Subsection currently provides that if land is taken b the Town, or donated to the p y , Town, for roadway or utility purposes, the parcel from which the land is acquired will be treated, for the purpose of calculating lot size, setbacks, allowed lot coverage etc., as if the parcel still included the land that was acquired. This amendment would extend that provision to lands acquired in the same fashion by the state. The full text of these articles may be reviewed in the office of the Town Clerk or Town Planner at Mashpee Town Hall. Submitted by ; , Patrick J.
