Town of�Vlas��ee Aanninq Board <br /> 6 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br /> Karen Faulkner- It was a wonderful meeting with Selectman, everyone was so kind and we did the right <br /> thing. Everyone felt good when they left. She was reading under Cape Cod Commission Chapter D. <br /> Something she wants to discuss is the Development Agreement regulations in Section 5C. It essentially <br /> says what the Development Agreement application shall include, and there are 10 items that are <br /> attached to the agreement. The application was filed on/around March 5, 2020. We have no information <br /> whether all ten items were satisfied to complete the Development Agreement application. Has Mashpee <br /> Commons completed the application and has the Cape Cod Commission certified the same? The <br /> application with all the requirements when all is complete, in her view, should be made public and each <br /> Board member should receive a copy to study at their leisure. After certification by the Cape Cod <br /> Commission and the application is complete, when the Development Agreement is being negotiated, <br /> Mashpee Commons can meet separately with Cape Cod Commission and separately with the Town, in <br /> a public meeting to see if they are in compliance with applicable regulatory standards. She would like to <br /> get a timeline on when that will happen. Another question... <br /> [TWO MIN. WARNING - Richard Klein gave up his time] <br /> Has the Cape Cod Commission subcommittee (she thinks it has been formed) reviewed the proposed <br /> development for consistency with the regional policy plan and local comprehensive plan? The <br /> subcommittee may prepare a Development Agreement for review by participating parties, meaning <br /> Mashpee Commons and the Town. Is that what is going to happen? At what point does the <br /> subcommittee and participating parties meet? What are the proffers from Mashpee Commons, what <br /> public benefits and improvements are they going to give for consideration for this Development <br /> Agreement. Lastly, independent consultants. She hopes the Board will look long and hard to see who <br /> we really need. Even though the Planning Board has more expertise than she, none have the expertise <br /> to analyze fiscal, environmental, and traffic impact, and other things we haven't thought about. She <br /> wants transparency. <br /> [TWO MIN. WARNING - Rosa Whiting gave up her time] <br /> She hopes the Town website can lay out a step by step with where we are at in the Development <br /> Agreement process. It would be helpful to her and people who are interested in this process. <br /> Mr. Lehrer wanted to make a statement regarding the process of submitting comment. He understands <br /> the time constraints are frustrating. He wants to remind everyone that he is available to receive <br /> questions and comments in writing any day and any time. If time runs out and you still have <br /> unanswered questions, he is happy to accept them by email or written letter any time to present to the <br /> Board and add them to the meeting packet. <br /> Ava Costello- She is usually standing here begging for money, as she is the Chair of the Mashpee <br /> Historical Commission, so this a different role she is playing. She wants to be clear she is here <br /> speaking as a citizen of Mashpee. She is also going into her 29t" year as an adjunct faculty member at <br /> Northeastern University, standing before you as a certified History nerd. She wanted to mention she <br /> was pleased to see in the presentation, she did notice the word historical. History is a part of this <br /> development plan, as is required by law. Since Mashpee Commons has started its process, she is sure <br /> they are aware there are highly sensitive as well as moderately sensitive historic sites within the <br /> development area. She wants those sites to be taken into account and the due diligence be done. <br /> [TWO MIN. WARNING] <br /> 3 <br />
