Mr. Kooharian noted that Mashpee Commons had spent more time with their proposal and suggested <br /> that the more information they shared, it would provide the Board the opportunity to become more <br /> familiar with the concept. Mr. Preston responded that they had held a number of public meetings, <br /> including the introduction of concept of a Mashpee Commons Master Plan in 5-10 years. Mr, Preston <br /> indicated his hope that, after tonight, a clear process could be identified to move forward. Mr. Preston <br /> stated that the FBC represented their vision and they would like to have more dialogue with the <br /> Planning Board to know if they were moving in the right direction. <br /> Mr. Hansen referenced Table 7.1 on page 7-227 regarding Notices &Public Hearings and suggested <br /> that the table be expanded to identify who would be responsible for adjudicating whether it was the <br /> Building Inspector or the Planning Board or some other authority. Ms. Farr responded that the Public <br /> Hearing Notice would be the responsibility of the Development Administrator/Town Planner. There <br /> was consensus to add a column. <br /> Mr. Balzarini stated that he liked the conceptual plan, adding that over the years, Mashpee had given a <br /> lot to Mashpee Commons, and believed they had a good relationship. Mr, Balzarini expressed <br /> frustration regarding the way in which the Town addressed the issue and apologized to Mashpee <br /> Commons and stated that Mr. Chace was marvelous for the Town. <br /> Town Clerk, Deborah Dami, inquired whether the Planning Board wished to hold off on their original <br /> Article they voted to submit, since it seemed there was Further conversation regarding the Mashpee <br /> Commons' proposal. Chairman Waygan responded that the Board was never against Mashpee <br /> Commons and did not feel that the Planning Board Article conflicted with their request. The Chair did <br /> not allow Mr. Preston to comment but noted that Mashpee Commons believed the Board's proposal <br /> was in conflict with their FBC proposal, but the Chair had requested that they consider it further. As a <br /> resident of Mashpee,Ms. Dami was interested in hearing Mashpee Commons' response. The Chair <br /> stated that the Planning Board was taking a cautionary approach. There were no other Board members <br /> who wished to re-address their Article. <br /> Ms. Hecht stated that there would be two items on the Warrant. The Chair responded that the FBC <br /> may not take the form of a Zoning Bylaw by September. Ms. Hecht indicated that it took hours to <br /> review the first few pages and inquired how residents would understand what was being talked about. <br /> Ms. Hecht expressed concern about the acceleration of the schedule without seeing a Master Plan. <br /> Heather Harper, representing the Cape Cod Commission, acknowledged the hard work and leadership <br /> of Mashpee and Mashpee Commons for taking on the comprehensive planning process for <br /> infrastructure and housing and commercial development, all at the same time. Ms. Harper encouraged <br /> all involved to stay on parallel tracks,noting that the Commission saw FBC as a tool in traditional <br /> New England village centers. Chairman Waygan noted that the Cape Cod Commission served as the <br /> Regional Planning Commission and inquired about how the project would be reviewed. Ms. Harper <br /> responded that, under the existing framework of the Regional Policy Plan, the project would meet the <br /> thresholds for a Development of Regional Impact. The Chair expressed an interest in Cape Cod <br /> Commission involvement and inquired whether a Development Agreement should be established. The <br /> Chair indicated her preference that review occur at the same time so that it did not get bumped out of <br /> Mashpee, <br /> 14 . <br />
