'1 Mr. Besse explained that some of the Willowbend Phases have <br /> realized their final design: Phase I-one hundred ten (110) ; <br /> . Phase I I-twenty--seven (2 7) ; original thirty-f our (3 4) ; Gol f <br /> villas; Shoestring Bay-twenty one (21) ; Existing Town houses-ten <br /> ,+; ,; •'. (10) ; Proposed easement lots-thirty (30) ; Town house units-Phase <br /> III thirty-six (38) . Mr. Besse was making reference to Revised <br /> Master Plan Proposed Density Distribution dated December 2, <br /> 1997. He stated the total Willowbend density to be two hundred <br /> 144 �" eighty-one (2 81) ; originally permitted for two hundred eighty- <br /> 4 d i I( seven (287) . In effect, the density at Willowbend will be less <br /> than what has been permitted by the design change. Mr. Besse <br /> original <br /> resented the approved densities which have been <br /> ! <br /> negotiated down to 287, based on the original bedroom count. <br /> ►� + : �''�k <br /> John Kuchinski expressed concern with the proposed <br /> 40 subdivision of the open Space area. The Chairman inquired if <br /> there were any large open spaces available on the Willowbend <br /> ►, i <br /> property, to which Mr. Besse replied, "The Master Plan s pretty <br /> roe , well designed out. " <br /> ` •� <br /> The Town Planner interjected that there were only two (2 <br /> } <br /> p' I significant natural open space areas left (the area in question <br /> being one, the other on Quaker Run) . He mentioned there is <br /> public concern in this regard and made reference to a letter <br /> fd <br /> received from Louise Burhman, <br /> • x The chairman read from said letter, dated December 3, 1997, <br /> r' <br /> explaining that Ms. Burhman was one of the original Planning <br /> Board Members who voted on the original Permit. . . .Writing with <br /> reference to proposed Modification of Willowbend Special <br /> Permit. . .A number of years since I sat on the Board, consequently <br /> , a long time since I reviewed the Plans for Willowbend. . .Quite a <br /> surprise when I looked at the current and requested versions. . . <br /> R+ Think that overall concerns could be summed u b the term <br /> ��;�a' r � P y <br /> y i t "project creep. " Appear to have been a number of incremental <br /> modifications, dramatically change the appearance of the <br /> project. . .Natural buffer strips have mostly evaporated and since <br /> the natural open space area had woodlands. . . Proposed use, the <br /> substantial piece of remaining natural as opposed to golf course <br /> open space for houses is a final blow to the original concept. <br /> concerned about proposed fencing near the public ways. When <br /> � �? p g P Y <br /> Willowbend was first proposed, there w� p p e e as a great public concern <br /> which was shared with Members of the Board, that the ways remain <br /> rn open Current 1 f` cu e t layout o the golf course has disrupted one of <br /> them Simon s Narrows. Fencing would only o the� f o g y add 1.. appearance <br /> of exclusion. . .the Mashpee citizens from traditional paths. All <br />.,,,�Nt ■ , of these changes have been in small increments, some occasioned <br /> ■ ■ ■ ■ . ■ r <br /> by long past violations of the Special Permit. I think it is <br /> _ essential that the Board review the original <br /> o ginal Plans approved for <br /> i <br /> the parcel and compare these intentions with what s currently <br /> proposed and currently in effect. . .Should consider how the <br /> ,f current situation is to the original intent, or we will be in <br /> danger of evolving a project radically different so different <br /> ktt ' <br />
