�Y <br /> t\ <br /> by this. <br /> Mr. Sullivan said if there was another parcel , large enough and zoned <br /> properly we would have gone after it but there isn 't. Let us get on the <br /> warrant for town meeting and let the people decide. <br /> Tom explained it was too late by then for them to submit a petition, by <br /> owner, article and it was also too late for them to get on the special town <br /> meeting warrant. <br /> Tom said, personally, he feels it deserves a chance to go to town meeting. <br /> The Board of Selectmen, when they voted not to put in on the warrant, were <br /> responding to Tony's letter withdrawing Planning Board support. <br /> T <br /> Sid Stearns, member of Mashpee Economic Development Committee, would like <br /> Planning Board to endorse this proposal . This will strengthen the <br /> inves:,ment in Mashpee and increase the tax receipts, which will be <br /> substantial because now it is just raw land. <br /> Tony said the Board has not seen any facts on this , how much, at what cost? <br /> Mr. Sterns said people using this facility will then use other facilities <br /> in town . This facility will produce tax revenues. Speaking as an individual k. <br /> resident of Mashpee for 11 years, he is concerned about this town is headed <br /> upward with the tax rate. <br /> Tony asked Mr. Stern before he get behind something doesn 't he want all the <br /> facts? What if we went along with your request and it fails? <br /> Tom said the comparison is the benefit it will provide compared to a <br /> residential development. <br /> id Tony does not agree. He said you have to look at all the other factors. <br /> He doesn 't know all the implications yet. This is a re-zoning of a piece of <br /> land. <br /> Mr. Sterns said the applicant can produce figures to support these <br /> questions. <br /> He asked if the Board would be comfortable re-zoning this property back to <br />�a industrial ? <br /> Tony said no. The Board should look at all the industrial and commercial I` <br /> land in town and decided what to do with all of it. <br /> Mr. Sterns said Mashpee has more vacant industrial and commercial land than <br /> G any other on the Cape. It is difficult to bring people to this community <br /> to bring employment and increase tax revenue. <br /> 1 <br /> t Mr. Sullivan said family entertainment and golf is a $7 billion industry. <br /> If you can bring in the tourists, they will spend tourists dollars. <br /> Tana said her reservation about withdrawing support was that they would not <br /> get on the town meeting warrant. <br /> Tony said what if the project falls through, then we have created more <br /> vacant industrial land in town . Talanians' parcel exceeds the 20 acres <br /> they need , but he wants too much money for it. It is not economically <br /> ry feasible for them to develop other parcels , they are available. We have <br /> the land but you can ' t develop it and make a profit. Therefore you want us <br /> i to take under valued land and re-zone it. <br /> He does not see the argument of why this is an idea the Planning Board <br /> F <br /> 9 <br />
