16 Great .Neck Road North <br />Nashpee, .9vNassachusetts 02649 <br />Ms. Waygan wanted to omit the word superior from before architectural to just read <br />architectural appearance <br />Ms. Faulkner asked how you maintain population and growth. <br />Ms. Waygan added that you don't want a policy or an action that will do something to the <br />drinking water supply, where we don't have enough water for residents. Towns like Barnstable <br />are running out of water because of PFAs and they have to buy water from Yarmouth. <br />Mr. Lehrer would like to use the word manage, because we need the capacity to serve that <br />growth. <br />Ms. Waygan commented if we bring on too many low income housing tax credits for affordable <br />housing developments we won't have enough people to fill them. You don't bring on 400 units <br />at once, you bring on 40 —100 every five years. <br />Ms. Faulkner is unsure how that manages gentrification. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated there is space for that in the housing chapter. <br />Ms. Waygan thinks it should be in this chapter as well. We have X amount of housing because <br />of drinking water. You don't want to use seasonal housing that pushes out people who live <br />here with families. They are usually the ones who get pushed out. This is something that <br />already happened with the Tribe when the subdivision rules and regulations were adopted, <br />they were able to carve up land and sell it. There was a land use policy that happened and <br />they lost access to housing on aboriginal homeland, and Tribal members were pushed out to <br />Falmouth and New Bedford and are trying but cannot afford to come back to Mashpee. Mr. <br />Lehrer will work on this. <br />Mr. Richardson questioned the use of the word adequate when referring to the town services <br />and facilities. Mr. Lehrer thinks there are facilities that are inadequate. He wants them to <br />develop to a point of adequacy as approved by the town. Ms. Waygan would like it to say <br />adequate to address resident's needs and to omit short falls. <br />Mr. Lehrer emphasized that it is about adequacy, we want to support the population we have <br />and ensure town services and facilities have the capacity to serve the needs of the town <br />sufficiently. Actions are short term, one to ten years, maybe five. It's incumbent on regulatory <br />authorities and staff to come up with ways in which we accomplish them. There will always be <br />A <br />
