ash e e Aannin Board <br /> Town of, <br /> v <br /> - <br /> 16 Great Neck Road.North <br /> lashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br /> Chairman wanted to reiterate, as he stated in the last meeting, the Planning Board does not intend to <br /> sign off on a zoning amendment for a vote with the residents of Mashpee until a Development <br /> Agreement is in place. <br /> MOTION: Ms. Waygan puts forth a motion that the Planning Board does not send any bylaw to <br /> the Board of Selectman for inclusion on a Town Meeting warrant until the Development <br /> Agreement with Mashpee Commons is executed. Mr. Balzarini seconded. All in favor. <br /> Chairman Fulone wants to recognize the Selectman's vote to hold a special Town Meeting in March. <br /> He fully intends to continue with the set scheduled meetings for the Planning Board that specifically <br /> focuses on the zoning amendment. <br /> Mr. Cotton said they did vote at the Selectman meeting to push it back to a special meeting. What they <br /> were hoping for was continued effort and dialogue and we would make some progress, March was <br /> proposed, but if things progress and we want to discuss sooner than March, so be it. We did not want <br /> to put so much pressure, as there seemed to be too much intensity. This will hopefully lighten it up as <br /> we continue with the progress. He is speaking on behalf of one of five members but they threw out <br /> March because they wanted to initiate something. <br /> Mr. Balzarini asked if they could hire a consultant, it would be prudent in reviewing all of the documents. <br /> He thinks it is important someone with more knowledge, and help Mashpee Commons to keep the <br /> process moving. <br /> Mr. Fulone was wondering if he was speaking specifically to zoning. Ms. Waygan asked if he was <br /> speaking about a firm, as there are a lot of specialties here that one person cannot manage. <br /> Mr. Lehrer elaborated that in consideration of consultants, there were some thoughtful comments about <br /> bringing on additional expertise. He thinks they need a solid idea of who those consultants could be, to <br /> reiterate what Ms. Waygan was saying, he doesn't think one firm can get the entire scope of what we <br /> need to look at technically with regards to the Development Agreement. In regard to the zoning <br /> proposal, zoning is mechanically pretty simple, but he thinks they could go through what has been <br /> proposed. Some of the externalities that we need to give thoughtful consideration to like traffic, natural <br /> resources, wastewater, and archeological resources. He thinks it would be prudent to consider <br /> conversations with the Commission, after last meeting, in relation to process and where they are and <br /> information they are receiving. He is going to suggest this Board receive a package of all the filings and <br /> requirements of the Commission subsequent to the presentation to the Board. We can then assess <br /> what consultants we may need throughout the process. He does not want to speak for the Board, but <br /> he does not know what consultants they would need at this time and he does think they are equipped to <br /> deal with the bylaw. <br /> Ms. Waygan asked what kind of timing? Sometimes consultants have to be procured with public <br /> money, Mr. Lehrer was talking about some meetings, what time frame is he thinking? <br /> 5 <br />
