Notice was given by publication in The Mashpee Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on August 3 and August 10, 2001, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. A Public Hearing was held on the Petitions at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, August 22, 2001, at which time the following members of the Zoning Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout: Edward M. Govoni, Robert G. Nelson and Richard T. Guerrera. The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws aws s Chap ter 40A Section 10 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Attorney Donna Bergamo represented Willowbend Development Corporation and i submitted a map of the subject property. She said that the Petitioner purchased the property in October 1998 and development and sale of the lots commenced in 1999. Roads, utilities and sewer connections for the lots have been installed at a cost of approximately $2,000,000. Attorney Bergamo stated that 20 of the original 35 Variances granted by the Board in 2000 have lapsed. The Board said that it would prefer to wait before rendering a decision until after ' the Petitioner's upcoming Cape Cod Commission hearing on August 23, 2001 concerning a proposed golf course expansion that would impact four of the twenty lots. Attorney Bergamo expressed concern that no one would purchase a lot needing Variance relief without a recorded decision granting such relief. The problem lies in the fact that the Petitioner is severely restricted from developing by the Town's Growth Management policy. That policy limits issuance of seven Building permits per year to this Petitioner. No comments were received from abutters.
