Mr. Rowley inquired whether the Board wished for him to review the plans submitted and there was <br /> consensus from the Board to do so. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> Proposed Development Agreement with Mashpee Commons-The Chair indicated that <br /> correspondence had been received from the Board of Selectmen, as well as a letter from Mashpee <br /> Commons Developer, Buff Chace, and summary of Development Agreement Process from Tom <br /> Ferronti. Other documents referenced and shared included Section 9, Regional Regulatory Review and <br /> Section 6, Goals and Objectives. Mr. Lehrer confirmed that he had been in contact with Jonathan <br /> Idman of the Cape Cod Commission, regarding processing and the goals and priorities of the RPP. <br /> Goals and priorities of the RPP focused on mitigation requests as negotiated by the Planning Board and <br /> other invited parties. The criteria to enter in to a Development Agreement required an approved LCP, <br /> though it was recommended that Mashpee update their LCP prior to the Agreement being established. <br /> Mr. Lehrer confirmed that the Cape Cod Commission had recently completed their LCP, creating a <br /> more streamlined process. Mr. Lehrer suggested that it would be prudent to being planning the LCP <br /> around Mashpee Commons. The Chair suggested that an updated LCP would require a Town Meeting <br /> vote, but Mr. Lehrer believed that was no longer the case. <br /> Mr. Balzarini inquired whether the Town would still need to vote on Zoning changes and the <br /> Development Agreement. The Chair stated that if there was a zoning change within the Development <br /> Agreement, the entire Development Agreement would be considered at Town Meeting, and the zoning <br /> change would impact only that project. If a zoning change was separate from the Agreement, then <br /> only the zoning change would be considered at Town Meeting, and would be a Town-wide change. <br /> A recess was taken at 8:13 p.m. for Mr. Lehrer to make copies of Selectman Gottlieb's letter and the <br /> meeting reconvened at 8:15 p.m. <br /> There was consensus to draft a letter from the Planning Board to Mashpee Commons indicating that <br /> they were supportive of the idea of using the Development Agreement for the expansion of Mashpee <br /> Commons. The Chair indicated that it would be an opportunity to review the Master Plan, adding that <br /> the Planning Board had initially requested that Mashpee Commons draft a summary how their plan <br /> would address each chapter of the LCP. Mr. Phelan noted reference in the letter made about time <br /> constraints and the necessity to meet outside the standard two meetings per month. <br /> MOTION: Mr. Balzarini made a motion to respond to Mashpee Commons that the <br /> Development Agreement would be advantageous to all parties to pursue. Mr. Callahan seconded <br /> the motion. ,All voted unanimously. <br /> Mr. Callahan stated that, although the Planning Board would be in charge, other parties would be <br /> involved but it would allow the matter to move along more quickly. Mr. Balzarini referenced 25 <br /> questions the Chair had submitted previously to Mashpee Commons regarding the needs of the Town. <br /> The Chair noted that, once the Planning Board was in receipt of the Development Agreement, other <br /> Boards could be invited to provide comment. It was the Chair's hope that there could be one single <br /> presentation from Mashpee Commons and then comment accepted form other Board and Committee <br /> members at that time to become part of the negotiation process. The Chair confirmed that the Bylaw <br /> confirmed that other Committee and Boards could be included if needed. One single presentation from <br /> 8 <br />
