situations. Historically Mass. does not reconcile with Means on <br /> • a sq foot basis. <br /> Is it a valid comparison to compare a middle school and high <br /> school project? Mr. Franceschi said it gives some level of <br /> comparison but there are many variations in the site development <br /> costs and greater level of finish and equipment in a high school . <br /> Mr. Martiros stated the better school you build, the less it will <br /> cost over the life of the building . Mr. Polito added Mashpee <br /> does not have a plan yet, you can ' t acquaint it to another <br /> school . <br /> Mr. Griffin explained 2 firms reviewed these figures and <br /> confirmed the $27 . 7 is a good number (one said $27 .4 another said <br /> a minimum of $28. 5 million) . After all this work , he thought the <br /> Committee had come to a consensus on what the number would be. <br /> The Committee does agree with that number. They agreed they must <br /> stand firm on that number on town meeting floor. <br /> Ms. Ahlgren would like to know what Fincom will say before <br /> deciding to stand firm. If their figure is close, it will not be <br /> a big issue. <br /> Mr . Jones said it is incumbent that FinCom be diligent with their <br /> information and the care with which they present it. This <br /> Committee has studied the Marstons Mills school carefully and <br /> discussed the numbers at length . That school was bid early 1992 <br /> and costs have gone up in Mass. substantially since then . We <br /> . concluded the cost per sq foot is not reliable for a high school <br /> to be bid in 1994 . <br /> This Committee will meet with Finance Committee on Tues. night. <br /> The Committee cannot present specific cost items to the town - <br /> i .e. cost of a pool or auditorium at this point. This is a <br /> process that does not end on town meeting floor. <br /> Wetlands: Mr. Franceschi explained there is a drop off adjacent <br /> to the Quashnet River which makes it unbuildable, therefore the <br /> noted 400 foot buffer . There is a road next to the Mashpee River <br /> which makes the point of a buffer moot. <br /> The Committee discussed the wording regarding green space. You <br /> are loosing green space on both sites, one is in a residential <br /> area of town. <br /> Environmental concerns : The Committee discussed at length the <br /> impact on the wells at each site. <br /> Tom Fudala stated 90% of the 151 site is within a Zone II and the <br /> Center site 90% is not within a Zone II of any well . <br /> Mr. Greelish thinks a STP can be sited without impact to Zone II <br /> on both sites. Tom responded , on the 151 site, if it is sited <br /> outside of the Zone II it is then impacting the Quashnet River. <br /> Deidre Greelish said the Committee may be loosing site of why <br /> • this information is important, many people will not know what <br /> 3 <br />
