Mr. Lehrer felt similar to Mr. Balzarini, as it is challenging for everyone to make an internal assessment, so Mr. <br /> Lehrer specifically asked for the regulatory plan along with zoning. This will lay out streets, civic spaces, parks, <br /> and open space so you can see how blocks and buildings would be situated. It is his expectation it would be <br /> part of this development agreement so the Board and public can have some context to react to technical <br /> information. <br /> Mr. Pesce wanted to explain the development agreement process to the Board. To be eligible, a notice of <br /> intent needs to be filed with the Committee of Planning and Regulation. This is like a subcommittee that makes <br /> a judgement recommendation by looking at all the criteria. You present to subcommittee of Planning and <br /> Regulations and get their vote, then a letter is drafted by subcommittee to general Commission, then get <br /> another vote to accept as an applicant, then the application is filed. Mr. Pesce also took a minute to <br /> acknowledge how lucky the Planning Board was to have a say, that this is a key player in the community. He <br /> mentioned with the zoning amendment being done now, there is nothing, in his opinion, wrong with that <br /> process. Getting a zoning amendment approved is part of the process. It opens the dialogue for Commission to <br /> provide a draft to present to Town Meeting. With two months to get this done, is not much time, but it does not <br /> need to be that much time, it needs to be discussed and deliberated and have public hearings. <br /> Mr. Lehrer thanked Mr. Pesce but wanted to remind the Board of where they stand in the process. The notice <br /> of Intent for the development agreement was filed in March 2020 with a letter of support submitted by Board of <br /> Selectman shortly thereafter. The Commission determined the project eligible and in March of 2021 the <br /> application was filed along with a letter reaffirming the towns intent to be joining parties. Ms. Waygan asked if <br /> the criteria had been met, Mr. Lehrer stated Cape Cod Commission accepted and criteria was met. <br /> Chair thanked both Mr. Pesce and Mr. Lehrer for clarification. <br /> CHAIRIVIANS REPORT <br /> Encompasses old business. <br /> TOWN PLANNER REPORT <br /> Local Comprehensive Plan RFP Update <br /> RFP was advertised in Central Register and CommBuys. We have several interested firms. The dates have <br /> been shifted around, about a month behind from original proposed date due to council receiving comments <br /> late. This was the first week it was being advertised and the bids are due first week of June. Mr. Lehrer will <br /> report back on process moving forward. The RFP does request two members of the Planning Board participate <br /> in the initial evaluation, then a recommendation is made to the full Board, who can then make a <br /> recommendation to the Chief Procurement Officer. Next meeting, Mr. Lehrer is asking the Board to consider <br /> appointees for the initial evaluation team. Between now and June any action will be included on next agenda <br /> and process will be working. <br /> Ms. Waygan asked if the Planning Board was the selection committee for RFP? <br /> Mr. Lehrer reiterated yes as part of the initial minimum responsiveness criteria. The Town Manager, Town <br /> Planner, and two members will review bids then provide to full Board. The Planning Board will then make a <br /> recommendation to Town Manager as well as have the option for interviewing consultants should full Board <br /> request. <br />
