T P. O. BOX 1108 rQg F, MASHPEE, MA 02649 PLANNING BOARD MINUTES : 5/l/85 P. 3 the meantime as I said I would do at the last meeting, I amended it . It still doesn't satisfy everybody. Mr. Dubin: Want to summarize , Tom. Mr. Fudala: It's basically the same type of wording except it doesn't apply to commercial zone at all, just industrial zones . Mr. Dubin: So what does this do as opposed to the present by-law? Mr. Fudala: Present by-law is fairly similarity worded but it 's not very clear and leaves room for a lot more interpretation than this does . That 's the reason why this one was done . Present by-law says first 1001 shall be left wooded or suitably landscaped with trees , and no parking is permitted within this 1001 area. The basic change is now with trees is made a little stronger. And should be left wooded and where there are no trees , they're now to be landscaped with trees ® It talks about different trees and number. The second part of it is the parking stuff. There is no parking and it 's not putting in of retention ponds and other things there , , left natural. I think I stated my reasons for this . Mr. Dubin: What 's the building setback? Mr. Marsters : 150' on Rte . 28 . 1 objected last time very strongly to this article where it applied to commercial. Eliminating the commercial solves about 80% of the problem. However I would still object to it . We discussed this at Design Review. Tom was at Design Review Committee and it 's the Design Review Committee 's job. We have a professional landscape architect , professional architect , member of Planning Board and member of Board of Appeals and it 's their job to review any proposals for new buildings and view whether or not the landscaping proposed is suitable and it it isn't , make suggestions . They in many respects agreed with this article but felt it was just a little too restrictive because what this says is under no circumstances will parking, retention ponds or any other clearance of natural vegetation be permitted within the area. it doesn't even allow you to brush the area . It wouldn't allow any planting of anything attractive . Design Review still feels it 's much too restrictive and I think really before this article , an article that involves a committee in town, should be cleared with that committee before it 's submitted. It 's only fair to the committee that 's involved . So they voted unanimously against this article ® Mr. Fudala : I just have to react a little bit . My feeling and reason for submitting this article is because it was felt they hadn't done
