{e <br />16 Great Neck Road.Worth <br />.9Mashpee, ?Massachusetts 02649 <br />prudent to involve the ZBA. Current regulations are having an impact on that neighborhood. Let's invite <br />them to understand the problem before we offer solutions. In observing lot coverage at a neighborhood <br />scale, those impacts accumulate. The Board should invite the PBA to discuss issues they are <br />experiencing before going to ZBA. The ZBA contemplated submitting an article to the Select Board <br />without giving much thought. Mr. Lehrer suggested that get put off until conversations can happen. <br />Mr. Fulone asked about a joint meeting with ZBA and Popponessett Beach Association. <br />Mr. Lehrer would agree that is a prudent approach. He also wants to go through the Municipal <br />Vulnerability Program. Currently, there is only one action at Santuit Pond. This might fit the bill in the <br />future for sensitive residential neighborhood with significant flood challenges. <br />Ms. Waygan stated when that raise and replace article passed 4 years ago, in researching other towns, <br />Provincetown has a raise and replace bylaw. It's very strict, may be too strict for Popponessett, but <br />Barnstable also allows rebuilt, but to stay in community character. <br />Mr. Lehrer was hired when raise and replace became a topic. The maximum building height and lot <br />coverage did not include a lot of predictability with what happens on a neighborhood scale. If certain <br />criteria is met in regards to architecture in built form, there is opportunity for flexibility. Glen McCarthy <br />submitted a letter and asked that it get read into the record. <br />Mr. Callahan loves the Cape Cod character. The three bedroom cottage ranch that was developed in <br />the 1950's is not Cape Cod to him. There is no great historical significance with that design and he <br />doesn't want to be stuck to the print of what it was. <br />Ms. Waygan would like to incorporate architectural standards into it. <br />Mr. Balzarini reiterated the drainage is horrible, and building new houses puts more pressure on the <br />water table. There is a lot of fill and retaining walls to raise a house. Every time it rains the water has <br />nowhere to go. <br />Mr. Lehrer noted it's important to understand those issues as they impact the neighborhood. The water <br />needs some place to go but the table is too high. There will be continued interest in replacing these <br />homes and continued interest in making them sustainable to climate change impacts for flooding. <br />Restricting height with ability to raise homes would be challenging. There needs to be an understanding <br />from a neighborhood perspective with the potential for zoning solutions. <br />Chairman stated Mr. Lehrer has already discussed a majority of what was in Mr. McCarthy's letter. <br />Chair invites everyone to look at those compelling images that were submitted. <br />Mr. Callahan does not want to negate the water table issue, but he pointed out in one photo a sewer <br />drain that was backed up and had never been cleared out by the PBA. <br />1.3 <br />
