Neighborhoods to 5-Story Town Centers. This sections defined the differences of the seven Character <br /> Districts. The Chair read each of the seven Districts and requested that Mashpee Commons find a way <br /> to distribute the information further to the public. Ms. Wilbur confirmed that the FBC would create <br /> the framework under which Master Plans would be developed for the Master Plan process,which <br /> would 'include the seven Character Districts, meeting each of those standards. <br /> Mr. Balzarini inquired about the 4 and 5-Story Town Centers and where they would be placed. Mr. <br /> Weeden stated that previous presentations implied that those buildings would be placed in lower areas <br /> so that there would be less visual impact. Mr. Balzarini emphasized that if there was a Master Plan <br /> they would be able to see the location of those buildings. Mr. Preston responded that renderings <br /> created during the design week, illustrated how a 3-story building could be brought to the street with <br /> integration into a composition of buildings with stepbacks. Mr. Weeden stated that it was his <br /> understanding that there would be a combination of purpose driven developments but the districts <br /> seemed to be micro zoning rather than mixed use. Ms. Wilbur responded that certain Character <br /> Districts featured certain uses,noting that CDS (5-story/4-story) and CD4 (General Neighborhood, <br /> Residential Neighborhood) were mixed use and CD-3 (Town Edge) was predominantly residential, <br /> with some corner stores. Ms. Wilbur stated that the uses would be blended with varying degrees of <br /> mixed use. Mr. Balzarini inquired about the location of parks and Ms. Wilbur responded that the <br /> Neighborhood Section included a study on how to best distribute meaningful Civic Spaces, as <br /> appropriate for the neighborhood. All spaces would be public for use of all visitors to Mashpee <br /> Commons and would appear on the Master Plan. Mr. Balzarini inquired about who would be. <br /> responsible for the roads and sewer system and whether there would be association fees. Mr. Preston <br /> responded that it would be determined at the Master Plan level, adding that interior roads were <br /> currently being maintained by Mashpee Commons. <br /> (p.2-14) B-Character District-B.1-Conservation(CD I)—The Chair asked that Mr. Preston <br /> show the page so that the public could have an understanding of each Character District. The Chair <br /> read the description and standards,to include permitted and Special Permit. <br /> (p.2-15)B-Character District-13.2-Rural (CD2)—The Chair reviewed the standards and <br /> building types. Mr. Rowley inquired about the width dimension of 100 foot minimum with a 50 foot <br /> setback, noting that it would result in a building width of.5 feet wide. Corrections would be made. <br /> (p.2-17) B-Character District-B.3-Town Edge (CD3)—The Chair referenced the permitted <br /> building types, noting that commercial was not allowed in the District. The Chair inquired how it <br /> would be addressed if there was an idea in the future to add a commercial use to the District and Ms. <br /> Farr responded that it would require a Zoning Amendment. Mr. Preston suggested the possibility of a <br /> Regulating Plan Update at Town Meeting. The Chair inquired where height was defined for buildings <br /> and Ms. Wilbur referenced the Building Type Section. Ms. Wilbur stated that standards were attached <br /> to buildings because that is what was understood. The Building Standard Section would include <br /> dimensions, heights and allowable attachments. For example,the Shophouse, located on page 3-73, <br /> which detailed specifications of the building. Ms. Wilbur noted that"stories"represented full stories <br /> and half story and a roof. Mr. Hansen inquired about the stories, noting that the first story featured a <br /> maximum height of 18 feet, then 12 feet for subsequent stories, creating a total of 42 feet and whether <br /> the other buildings featured a similar formula. Ms. Wilbur responded that it would depend on the <br /> building, noting that offering varied stories created a more interesting roof line. Additionally, a first <br /> floor taller height tended to create a better retail experience. Roof shape and pitch were also included <br /> 12 <br />
