AMENDED MOTION ON ARTICLE 32— Full Text Version I move that the Town vote to amend the zoning by-law by amending footnote 14 of the Section 174-31 Land Space Requirements Table to read as follows: 14 Minimum front building setback from Routes 28 and 151, from Great Neck Road South and North and from Route 130 west of Great Neck Road (except within the Mashpee Center Overlay District) shall be seventy-five (75) feet and, except for permitted signs and one (1) access driveway involving clearance of a path no more than forty (40) feet in width, the first fifty (50) feet of the front setback area shall be left wooded and in its natural state, except that said area may be reduced by the Planning Board as part of its decision on a special permit approved under Sections 174-45.1 or 174-46. Where such area is not naturally wooded, it shall be suitably planted and maintained with sufficient trees and understory vegetation, of a type common in natural areas of Mashpee, to replicate a naturally wooded area and to constitute a visual barrier between the proposed development and the roadway. Under no circumstances will parking, retention ponds, or any other development involving clearance of natural vegetation be permitted within said area. Limited, appropriate tree surgery or similar limited maintenance required to protect the health of vegetation in this area may be allowed with the approval of the special permit authority which originally authorized the project which included said area or, if no special permit was required, with the approval of a majority of the Planning Board." i and by adding a reference to footnote 14 in the C-2 row of the front setback column of said Table.
