ai <br /> lea'',, hundred and seventy square foot to one thousand one hundred <br /> square foot footprint. " Mr. Borstein' s Plan, being proposed <br /> tonight, show footprints that range from one thousand one hundred <br /> l' ;�� Mw, and eighty-seven square feet to one thousand six hundred and <br /> ,4 , sixty-four square feet. The gross floor area of the proposed <br /> >;��. I u, <br /> units range from one thousand eight hundred and thirty-one square <br /> '' ,j feet to two thousand fifty-eight square feet, representing a <br /> difference of almost a fifty percent increase in footprint; and <br /> fifty percent increase in gross square footage. <br /> Mr. Traczyk respectfully reminded the Board that the <br /> original Special Permit was only granted after a reduction in the <br /> square footage--not a increase. Quoting the original Master <br /> Plan, " . . .The community is being arranged in five distinct <br /> neighborhoods. " Mr. Traczyk pointed out the so-called crescent <br /> •' {�� '� streets, in which case the natural green space was being <br /> preserved. There were also arrangements made through the <br /> development to see that the maintenance and operation of the <br /> sewer plant was assured to one hundred and twenty (120) units. <br /> Carol Connolly gave an overview of the people who have <br /> purchased at Windchime: She stated that she was one of the first <br /> 4;1� + o unit owners in number 4. She lives there and commutes daily from <br /> " Mashpee to Canton in order to enjoy her home. Today eleven of <br /> •� +� her neighbors are year-round owners. The reasons they purchased <br /> are the attractiveness of the development, the attempt to <br /> , ►'p' '� preserve the green space and because of six dynamic unit plans to <br /> choose from that catered to the group and lifestyles. The <br /> quality of the construction is apparent. The beauty of the plan <br /> layout is the prominent reason they purchased. Ms. Connolly said <br /> she thinks Windchime is superior to many other Cape developments. <br /> They have two by six construction and Mr. Bornstein has been <br /> a ' <br /> emphatic in reducing the quality to two by four exterior walls. _ <br /> We are a dynamic group that includes employed professionals, <br /> + * + retirees, community leaders and teachers who care deeply about <br /> �I <br /> the future of Mashpee. we are friends and neighbors who <br /> volunteer year-round. We pay our taxes, support local business <br /> and institutions. We participate in and care about our growth <br /> +� r., . ` in the community and want to see Windchime as a magnet for people <br /> "`''� ►" like us, people who care truly about our neighbors, community and <br /> environment. <br /> Art Traczyk stated that Mr. Bornstein' s Plan calls for the <br /> total doubling of square footage of footprint on the ground; that <br /> Mr. Bornstein has stated that his Plan reduces the roadway <br /> p qvt construction significantly. Mr. Traczyk questioned whether ten <br /> 4"�, " (10%) percent was significant. Mr. Traczyk stated the promise <br /> ,k „ ' bought from Related is now being violated. The implications of <br /> ` ' Mr. Bornstein' s footprints are that virtually every single tree <br /> from the existing units to the line on the Plan that defines the <br /> Trustees of Reservations will be denuded. Mr. Traczyk commented <br /> ►,�;� �!t that the unit owners seriously doubt Mr. Bornstein' s claim that <br /> this is a superior plan.
