16 Great Neck Road North <br />.Vashpee, .Massachusetts 02649 <br />Mr. Balzarini: Yes, Mr. Richardson: No, Ms. Waygan: Yes, Mr. Oakley: Yes, Ms. Faulkner: <br />Yes (4-1) <br />Mr. Pesce commented that they are taking an incredibly important view of this and it's <br />important to understand scope. You can look at records and get a decent representation and <br />you can talk to every home owner, but you won't get all of them. You will still be at that point, <br />now what do you do with that number? Once you get to that point, speak to Town Counsel on <br />what the next step will be. Another Board member mentioned the secondary impacts. We will <br />not be asking people to remove work done on their homes. After we understand the scope of <br />exceedance, with DEPs approval, we can get a reasonable estimate, not perfect. Then we will <br />be able to see how big the problem is. <br />Mr. Lehrer has analyzed this figure before and his estimated count is around 995 bedrooms. <br />MOTION: <br />Mr. Balzarini made a motion to continue the Public Hearing for 275 Quinaquisset Ave. <br />Cranberry Point to August 2, 2023 at 7:10P.M. Seconded by Ms. Waygan. All in favor. <br />Wendy Williams- She would like to thank Mary Waygan and acknowledge her experience and <br />her depth of knowledge. She is a wonderful member of the Planning Board, and if not for her <br />Saturday readings would've never found this violation. What the DEP has allowed is irrelevant, <br />nobody knows how many bedrooms are there. The last time she was here she looked at their <br />14 units on 5 acres. Willowbend, an environmental hero, or nuisance? Now the proposal is for <br />12 units, but what will they give? Give us the five acres, they have other land elsewhere those <br />12 units can go. If they don't want to do that, someone suggested their commitment to clean <br />up the entirety of Quaker Run. Might we ask Willowbend what they would offer of equal or <br />greater value that would make the Board feel more comfortable? Why is so much going on at <br />Willowbend? She did some research. She handed out copies of an article from the Boston <br />Globe. This property was sold at auction and David Southworth became a partner, two years <br />ago there was some conflict, now Joe Deitch is current head of this project, he took control <br />during the pandemic. She presumes he wants to get as much money out of this property. <br />Clayton Southworth —David Southworth is his father. This is an odd situation. Things evolve <br />and context matters, he agrees with the Board. It is important to find commonalities because <br />firing back and forth at one another is not healthy. He also wants the cleanest water to drink, <br />be healthy, and help the environment. He is thankful for how much Mashpee has been <br />protected, we have been good stewards of the land. His dad loves this place more than <br />anyone will know. This is his home too. While he says all that, working with people is <br />something so valuable. When everyone fights, at the end you are left with a bruise. We want to <br />work with the town to have better sewers and take care of the environment the best we can. <br />n <br />
