PARTIAL PLANNING BOARD MINUTES OF THE JUNE 6, 1-9 7 9 MASHPEE PLANNING BOARD MEETING: Present: Earle Marsters , Richard Terry, Donald. Blakeman, Richardson Jonas, Harold Coll-ins , On June 6, 1979 Merwin Sturgis appeared before the board with a preliminary plan. It is Land Court Plan #2 5384A. Mr. Sturgis appeared before the board and stated he was in a quandary. Mr. Sturgis did not know whether to - attempt to seek approval of an entire subdivision plan (Land Court Plan #25384A) or simply to attempt to make Lot #22 a salable lot, , It was suggested by the board to Mr. Sturgis that -previously he had come before the board with the same preliminary plan and it was indicated that a cul de sac should be constructed in the Lot 22 area. Mr . Sturgis in- dicated that he did not want to incur expenses for paving without first a sense . from the board- whether or not his subdivision. plan might be approved. It was suggested by the board that Mr. Sturgis - would have to pave Sturgis Lane so that the lots that front Sturgis Lane could be sold. It was further suggested by the board to Mr. Sturgis that there might be a possibility that a bond be put up so that development could be facilitated. It was suggested by the board that it would be much easier for Mr. Sturgis to try to sell Lot 22 alone without attempting to have his preliminary plan altered so that it might conform to the zoning by-laws of the Town of Mashpee. It was further suggested to Mr. Sturgis that if he were to retain owner- ship of the lots other than Lot 22 , that the other lots would increase in value over time. Mr-. Philip Holmes , along with the board, suggested that the contour of Lot 22 be changed to conform to the 1501 frontage required under the Zoning By-Law. A line was drawn on the preliminary plan showing Lot 22 to restructure Lot 22 to give it the proper frontage . Consequently, the board voted to approve and did ,s inn with an appropriate amendment Lot 22 showing a minimum of 15 0 r frontage. Mr. Whitney who was also present at the meeting, agreed to see to it that Lot 2,2 be redone on the plan showing a minimum 150 ' frontage. The Planning Board of the Town of Mashpee voted unanimously to approve Lot 22, further indicating that the lot was accepted as "Approval not required" . The board also indicated to Mr. Sturgis that Form "All be submitted to the board. A check for $20. 00 was submitted to the board by Mr. Sturgis to cover costs. On a motion by Richardson Jonas and seconded by Richard. Terry, Earle Marsters was voted as Chairman as Selectmen for an additional year.
