16 Great Neck RoadNorth <br />wlashyee, -Massachusetts oz649 <br />Ms. Waygan asked Mr. Lehrer if he knew of any other town having an overlay district. He <br />responded that Falmouth and Sandwich both do, numerous Cape towns have taken that <br />approach. She inquired how they chose their overlay. He will phone some colleagues to get an <br />idea. He stated Falmouth just redeveloped Cape Cod Golf Course with a fair amount of solar. <br />Mr. Lehrer answered a question about taxes generated by solar verses a cluster subdivision <br />and he noted the revenues from taxes on residential are more substantial. Cluster subdivision <br />produces more square foot value to the town than the solar, but then there are questions about <br />impacts. Mr. Balzarini noted if the family had kids in school that adds money, so there are <br />other costs associated as well. <br />Local Comprehensive Plan Updates with Weston & Sampson <br />- Survey, Updating Vision Statement, Workshops on Proposed Actions, & Review of <br />Chapter drafts <br />Mr. Lehrer wants the Board to send him comments within the next week. <br />Ms. Waygan made a comment at the meeting, she is going to have trouble finishing this <br />without W&S analysis of the survey and the materials/ opinions collected at workshops. She <br />cannot finish her review and give comments unless she sees data. There is no reason to have <br />a workshop without the ability to review that data. She is looking for trends. She knows what <br />the highest ranked serious problem in town is, but they haven't seen any report on that from <br />W&S. There is no way they can move forward without input from five workshops, surveys, or <br />focus groups such as Southport, the business communities, and the Tribal focus group. <br />Affordable and Workforce Housing <br />-ADU, HPP, & Regional Housing Strategy <br />Mr. Lehrer will cover this under his Town Planner Report. <br />Clean Water Initiative <br />- Floodplain Development Zoning, Tree Protection Bylaw, & Fertilizer Restrictions and <br />other wetlands protection regulation <br />The fertilizer restrictions are under bylaws, there is nothing in zoning for that. Ms. Waygan <br />asked if they wanted to keep that item on the agenda, it was deemed unnecessary. There will <br />be no articles submitted by this Board. <br />Mr. Lehrer has been discussing increasing fertilizer restrictions with his colleagues but first it is <br />important to understand how we currently enforce those restrictions. If they are going to <br />consider increasing they want to know how it is currently being managed. There are some <br />short term actions because there is a nutrient control bylaw, they want to expand the scope to <br />include phosphorus as well as nitrogen fertilizer, especially pertaining to resource areas. They <br />need to understand how we currently enforce and how to remain consistent with policy <br />E <br />
