16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />Redeveloping Suburban Sprawl, a collection of case studies by Alex Beltran, Mashpee <br />Planning Intern Summer 2022 <br />Mr. Lehrer wanted to take a moment to talk about his summer intern. He wanted him to be able <br />to produce something he could site on a resume when looking for jobs. In consideration of <br />redevelopment goals, he wanted Mr. Beltran to review current zoning and make a <br />recommendation and conduct an analysis. Given the scope of work he took on for the LCP, <br />they modified and had him review case studies of redevelopment projects into more mixed use <br />walkable pedestrian friendly neighborhoods. He thinks it is very well written, he wanted to take <br />a moment to thank Mr. Beltran for his efforts, and noted it was a nice piece of work that he will <br />share with the Board. His hard work was definitely noticed here. <br />Mr. Fulone thought it was exceptional work and would like it posted. <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />Lynne Barbee- She has a question about the open comment boxes in the beta survey. She <br />took it in a half hour. She would like to know how that information is going to be incorporated <br />into the results. People will decide to write an essay, and how will that be dealt with? Her other <br />question was in regards to the meeting he had with the Tribal Housing Commission that was <br />spoken about at last night's Affordable Housing Committee meeting.

She could not get a good understanding from last evening. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated the Chair of the Affordable Housing Committee invited him to participate, and <br />he was happy to do so. They have been trying to facilitate a more functional relationship with <br />tribal housing for some time, and it has been slow progress. This meeting was the first time <br />they were able to sit down and lay things on the table. There were a couple things he wanted <br />to approach them with, but he wanted to be a listener. They met with the entire Tribal Housing <br />Commission, and he doesn't know them all by name but he knew Chuck Green, Cassie <br />Jackson, Shellie Tobey, and Carlton Hendricks. The Tribe had some passionate concerns with <br />the Housing Authority. They were very prepared to let them know how upset they were with <br />Housing Authority, under the belief the three of them were the Housing Authority. They offered <br />guidance on who to speak with as well as make an attempt to understand the issues they are <br />all trying to navigate, some are long, deep seeded, and nuanced. They approached this at a <br />less technical and more human point of view. We all like to intellectually understand but there <br />is a lot we don't understand culturally, especially when living so closely amongst Tribal <br />members. We approached that meeting in showing good faith and demonstrating they are <br />serious, not just make a phony offer of collaboration and walk away when it gets hard. This <br />was not an easy start, but it got to a place of productivity. The Tribe is concerned from a <br />housing perspective, Mr. Hicks was very clear on this. If the Tribe were to participate, they <br />14 <br />
