She is not saying <br />corruption, but she doesn't know what was said or offered at that meeting. She has asked the <br />town for notes, and she hasn't gotten them, she is worried it shouldn't have happened. If you <br />want to build on town land that almost certainly has Paleolithic artifacts, we have a Tribe here <br />that is very concerned about that. We have a study that is at least a decade old. Willowbend is <br />known as a Paleolithic habitat, she cannot be certain but when one house was built it disrupted <br />a shell midden, it's like a garbage heap. There are all kinds of information that scientists can <br />uncover from a shell midden. She is unsure if that is real or not. Lastly, the flow neutral bylaw <br />has to be addressed. Go to the person who wrote it, on a state level, ask what the intention is <br />and what does it mean. If we do not understand we are not able to make decisions. This was <br />sent by the state and told we had to accept the FNB in order to get money or we pay interest. <br />Her words to Willowbend are the same as they were a year ago, we want to work with you and <br />help you get to the end game, but right now you are not seriously coming to the table. A half an <br />acre? You want to build 12 condos for rich people who don't even live here! Those people <br />have a lot of land, they can find more, or they could donate that 5 acres in contention right now <br />to the Tribe and in return other things could be done for them on other land that is not so <br />sensitive and delicate. Conservation pointed out several other parcels to build on. She brought <br />an article from Ias week's Boston Globe that discussed what they could be doing, down Cape <br />someone is restoring bogs, and they don't even have to foot the bill because the state and <br />federal government will pay a substantial amount of it. <br />Ed Pesce commented that if the Board is considering this proposal there are a couple <br />appropriate conditions they should consider. He would advise them to obtain a variance from <br />sewer. He would get a more definitive bog restoration to be reviewed and approved by <br />Conservation. The Building Commissioner made a good point, what establishes the end of the <br />build out? Willowbend needs to understand that as well as the Building Commissioner. We <br />should not move this project forward without confirming that with Willowbend. <br />Troy Miller agrees with what Mr. Pesce said, having a definitive end to the special permit is <br />something they are interested in writing into the end of the special permit decision. He has <br />always viewed this project based on unit count and continues to believe that, with these 12 <br />plus the additional two. That would be a way to close out this permit. <br />Lynne Barbee- She is learning about all this, but she wants to briefly speak on the Flow <br />Neutral Bylaw. The Board has before them comments made by Andrew Gottlieb at the <br />Affordable Housing Committee and Arden Cadrin at the Select Board meeting. Ms. Cadrin <br />says FNB limits development to one bedroom per every 10,000 sq. ft. It is very clear whether <br />the property is on private sewer or a plant, in all of Mashpee. Mr. Gottlieb's comments referred <br />to the HPP, he says the flow neutral concept has its origins in the 2008 Environmental Bond <br />Bill that established loan options for wastewater loans, there are 5 conditions one must meet, <br />one being a FNB in place to obtain a 0% loan. If a town passes a bylaw that meets DEP <br />E:3 <br />
