The motel is 3/4 to a half acre piece. There are no plans or budget currently, <br /> but thinking ahead, that would be an opportunity to expand. <br /> Ms. Waygan would like to refer him to the town of Yarmouth's zoning bylaw. They do have provisions <br /> for long term stays at hotels, on site employee housing, definitions of tenancy, that have all passed the <br /> Attorney General's office. Not a lot of towns have zoning bylaws that deal with these issues. <br /> Mr. McElhinney is aware and he has looked at that bylaw. It seems like a good model. They want to <br /> keep people abreast of their plans and participate in the process going forward. <br /> Ms. Waygan thinks it's a good idea. <br /> Falmouth Planning Board Waiver Request—Failure to notice abutting town planning boards of <br /> zoning article public hearings. <br /> Mr. Fulone said there is a letter in the packet from the Falmouth Town Planner. <br /> Mr. Lehrer stated the Zoning Act requires Planning Boards to hold Public Hearings on zoning articles <br /> that go before town meetings. There is a requirement to notify abutting town's Planning Boards of those <br /> Public Hearings. Falmouth failed to notice Mashpee. He is requesting their request be waived, if you <br /> grant the waiver he will draft a letter and indicate the vote. <br /> MOTION: <br /> Ms.Waygan makes a motion to grant the waiver for requiring notice to the Planning Board for <br /> Public Hearings. Seconded by Mr. Callahan. All in favor. <br /> Mr. Lehrer said this has happened before, and this is one remedy. <br /> Mr. Fulone asked Mr. Lehrer as a professional Town Planner, what are his thoughts on the bylaw. <br /> Mr. Lehrer thinks this adds a tool to their toolbox to incentivize private investment in affordable housing. <br /> He sees it being consistent with our conversations, identifying sites and locations that are currently <br /> crippled by existing zoning regulations. He worries when you create bylaws of this nature, to steer away <br /> from patterns of past developments. If we were to pursue something similar it would be his <br /> recommendation to develop something more considerate, it would be a phenomenal opportunity to <br /> reconsider form based code. Falmouth did pursue form based code. He thinks this is a political <br /> compromise, which takes something great and makes it mediocre, his personal opinion. It's a <br /> framework. There are areas in Town right for redevelopment. He is satisfied with the progression of this <br /> conversation. In getting through the LCP, he would not want to ignore potential form based code and <br /> 10 <br />
