16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />people have ideas for projects in town and want to submit an application, they should come to <br />that Public Hearing to learn more about the program. <br />CHAIRMANS REPORT <br />Floodplain overlay proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment <br />Ms. Waygan made a presentation regarding two proposed amendments, she is going to turn it <br />over to Ms. Faulkner to provide the update. <br />Ms. Faulkner thanked Mr. Lehrer for all the hard work he put into this bylaw as well as the <br />Board for unanimously sending it to the Select Board. The Select Board approved and <br />recommended the skeleton of the bylaw excluding the prohibition of fill and exceptions. One of <br />their reasons for not passing the prohibition of fill was they claimed they didn't have sufficient <br />time to conduct a thorough study. The proposal was turned in on July 11 th and they had it for 4 <br />weeks, which should have allowed for enough time to ask questions and concerns to the Town <br />Planner. She is recommending any future bylaws be submitted to the Select Board as early as <br />possible and hold a workshop well before the closing. <br />Ms. Waygan reiterated that a portion is still on the Warrant. <br />Mr. Balzarini reminded the Board if they did not put it on the Warrant, the town would lose <br />credit on flood insurance. This creates a lot of problems with the drainage during really heavy <br />rain on those roads. <br />Ms. Faulkner echoed that was a small measure and builders were still able to build and it <br />would also go toward the water shed permit by doing anything to help this town, apart from <br />sewers. <br />Ms. Waygan would like to look at the MVP and Hazard Mitigation Plan and hold workshops <br />with the Building Commissioner, Town Planner, and Barnstable County Flood Coordinator and <br />discuss the floodplain and see if it should be resubmitted. <br />Mr. Lehrer communicated they were just trying to get ahead of the curve. The prohibition of fill <br />is a FEMA regulation and will soon be a federal regulation. He is more than happy to host a <br />workshop. <br />Ms. Waygan thinks in the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Plan (MVP), flooding is a top <br />concern that was identified. <br />4 <br />
