5 Board of Selectmen Minutes June 21, 2021 Kristy Senatori—Executive Director of the Cape Cod Commission: (continued) Planning Board member Mary Waygan offered comment on this matter; Per the Cape Cod Commission Ch D on Development Agreement Regulations, Sec 5(c) the Development Application shall also include: 1. Legal description of land and a recent survey of the land subject to the development agreement; 2. The developments uses currently permitted and the development uses proposed on the land, including residential densities, building densities and height 3. Description of facilities and infrastructure that will serve the development; 4. Description of any reservation or dedication of land and waters for public purpose; 5. Description of all local development permits needed for the proposed development; and 6. The Final Environmental Impact Report. These items were due to the CCC, again ifI have the dates correct, on March 5, 2021. Have all of the required items listed in Sec 5(c) been submitted to the Cape Cod Commission?How can that missed deadline be cured? What would be a good reason for curing this missed deadline? In response Ms. Senatori indicated the Cape Cod Commission staff is currently reviewing the application materials to process the application. The staff has been reviewing and identifying what additional materials may be required over the next several months. Ms. Waygan indicated the Notice of Intent was submitted on December 12, 2019. The project was deemed eligible and suitable on March 5, 2020. The time has lapsed for one year for the applicant to submit a complete application. When asked if the applicant has paid the application fee, it was not known. It was also asked if the staff has certified the application as being complete and if the subcommittee has been formed. It was noted the application process is ongoing and the timeframes for a Development Agreement differ from a DRI. The subcommittee has not been identified. In support to the recommendation to hold public hearings in Mashpee,the Cape Cod Commission was encouraged to hold as many joint meetings as possible. The joint meetings should include the Planning Board negotiating team. It was recommended the Board of Selectmen liaison coordinate the joint meetings. With regards to the final Environmental Impact Report Town Manager Rodney C. Collins asked of the anticipated timeline for the Planning Board and Board of Selectmen to receive this document. It was noted that at this time the CCC does not know if this project would require an updated EIR,but filing thresholds for MEPA are required. Ms. Senatori will further clarify the requirements. It was agreed that clarification should be obtained regarding the EIR and if an amendment is required. With a development of this magnitude, it was strongly recommended the MA Historical Review be a part of the process, and that it is important to conduct due diligence at all levels in a timely manner. This includes the Town's Local Comprehensive Plan which has not been revised or updated since 1998. Thus, there are inconsistencies with the Regional Policy Plan. Since the LCP is not revised or updated how can the Plan adhere to the Regional Policy Plan? It was noted the LCP is certified and is remains certified until it is revoked.
