Mr. Burke indicated that they would double check. <br />Chairman Waygan complimented the applicant's use of varying architectural styles effectively to <br />break up the massing of the building. The Chair was also pleased with the 10% affordable <br />housing commitment. Mr. Fudala noted that the Town Manager had expressed concern that the <br />units would not be counted toward Mashpee's affordable housing inventory but the Chair <br />indicated that a joint application between the applicant and the Town must be submitted to create <br />local action units, which would then be counted toward the inventory. The Chair volunteered to <br />assist. An outside agency was needed to run the affordable unit lottery. <br />Mr. Weeden inquired about the holder of the mitigated conservation area and Mr. Burke <br />responded that it would be awarded by Mashpee Commons. Mr. Weeden recommended looking <br />into the Native American Land Conservancy, Mr. Fudala added that the Conservation <br />Commission would be another option. <br />MOTION: Mr. Balzarini made a motion continue the public hearing to June 1 at 7:30p.m. <br />Mr. Koobarian seconded the motion.

Mr. Rowley indicated that some of the trees were located in a well wooded area, <br />and Mr. Rowley suggested that if it were not a safety issue the tree should remain. Mr. Weeden <br />inquired about the reasons for so many trees dying and Mr. Rowley responded that they were <br />often too close to structures so the root system becomes damaged or they are damaged by being <br />hit by a machine, or the tree just dying on their own. Mr. Fudala pointed out that a snow fence <br />was supposed to be located along the drip line of the trees to protect them. Mr. Rowley stated <br />that the hemlocks located at the entrance were beginning to die out but he requested that <br />Southport return with a new landscape plan for the Planning Board before removing. Mr. <br />Hansen noted that the grasses located on the corners of the exit create a site line issue. Mr. <br />Rowley stated that if the Board authorized him, he would send an email to Ron Bonvie about <br />approval of the tree plan, development of the entrance landscaping plan and visibility issues with <br />the grasses. <br />MOTION: Mr. Kooharian made a motion to accept Charles Rowley's report on the trees <br />at Southport and to authorize Mr. Rowley to speak with Mr. Bonvie regarding the new <br />landscaping at the entrance with special attention made to visibility issues due to <br />6 <br />
