16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />Local Comprehensive Plan Updates with Weston and Sampson <br />Survey Beta Test <br />Mr. Lehrer received more comments from the Board and he is compiling a memo to Weston <br />and Sampson. He would like to be granular in capturing final feedback to be able to send in <br />one detailed email. It's too much bureaucracy and he really wants to be able to finalize the <br />survey. He outlined some necessary changes, mostly to format. Mr. Lehrer commented most <br />of the multi -part questions had a massive scale and he would like to remove some options, at <br />least one scale level. <br />Ms. Waygan noted that some options need to say "not applicable". <br />Mr. Fulone stated you want the level of importance and two on each side of neutral, with a total <br />of five options. <br />Ms. Waygan gave the example of asking if Mashpee was an ancestral place for you and there <br />needing to be a not applicable option. <br />Mr. Balzarini thought the survey was still very long. <br />Ms. Waygan commented the quickest any of her contacts took was 15 minutes, and the <br />longest it took was 50 minutes. The lengthier times were people writing comments. It is long <br />and she thinks that is okay. In the introduction it should say how many questions there are and <br />to note this is an investment in Mashpee and to please finish. <br />Mr. Fulone asked if they discussed people being able to save and go back and finish. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated for the multi -part questions, whoever went through the survey and entered <br />every single option having a choice for every scope. He would like to change that and use a <br />matrix with radio buttons, this will shorten the timing as it pertains to half of the survey. The <br />survey does a good job in considering every action item to ask a town. Question 7 provided 10 <br />response options about the extent at which you would support or oppose housing strategies. <br />One choice, bonding and loan programs, won't resonate with people. He thinks it would be <br />prudent to strike some items. He was trying to get at if someone was in support of multifamily <br />housing in the town. <br />Ms. Waygan would like to add donation of town owned land to affordable housing. She would <br />like to gauge that interest now. She also asked if they want to inquire if the town should <br />provide subsidies. <br />
