PLANNING BOARD <br /> Town of Mashpee <br /> In response to a question, 14r. Green said that there .are 140 miles of roads <br /> in -the town. Chief O'Connor said there are only two police cruisers out there <br /> no tray you can enforce -i t, They send a cruiser out when they identify a problem <br /> area and when the cruisers aren't there, the speed increases. <br /> Mrs. DeLory asked if the Planning Board goes out and Nooks at reads that <br /> have been proposed and Mr, Bourgeois said that we do have a consulting engineer <br /> and he has done a very good ,job. <br /> Mr. Bourgeois was asked if a two-year moratorium would hurt anyone with a <br /> paper subdivision and he said that that was grandfathered at the last Town Ifeet- <br /> ing. It would only hold up people who are holding large clumps of land and <br /> waiting for the right time. sir. Bourgeois asked if we should hire a planner. <br /> Mr. Benway said that he would thins{ that no matter what we' do, we can't do any- <br /> thing without a two-year moratorium, at least we wouldn't have much of a chance. <br /> He is in favor of taping that first initial step and then to sit down and to <br /> decide. He suggested maybe having a companion article for $�[O,000.00 and then <br /> seek matching funds to have it done, adding that at least we would be buying time. <br /> Mr. Bourgeois said that a public hearing is needed to get the Moratorium. <br /> Mr. Benway said that anybody who has a building lot right now is exerapt. if you <br /> own two or twenty-tyro acres and .you have come before the Planning Board with an en- <br /> gineered plan with a subdivision - if you haven't done that, you won't be able to <br /> do that for two years and it trill have to come under the new zoning that will be <br /> passed, hopefully. He further exolained that if you had a two-acre parcel in a <br /> �. half-acre zone, today. you can go before the Planning Board and divide it into <br /> two lots. If we pass the two-year moratoriW, ,you're not going to be able to <br /> come before the Board and divide it - you have to wait for the voters. They <br /> might go to an acre and a half and you're going to be stuck with one lot. <br /> Chief O'Connor asked about lots being numbered - it apparently costs a lot <br /> of money. He said that s omeh-rere down the line it's not going to be easy to say <br /> you're going to the "Jones ' residence" on Route 130 - they have to be numbered. <br /> He further said that he knows a lot of people now and knows where they lava, how- <br /> ever, some of his own people don't knots where to go for an emergency. Mrs. DeLory <br /> said that Conservation has the same problem in locating property. The Chief said <br /> that we should be looking for that somewhere down the road, maybe five years from <br /> now. Mr. Bourgeois said that we trill probably set up our own numbering system. <br /> Mrs. DeLory asked if it could be put in the warrant to number every lot in the <br /> town. Mr. Benway said that you don't have to do it through Town Meeting. The <br /> Chief said that in Belchertown they passed a bylaw requiring numbers to be on <br /> the house, the number being of a particular size. <br /> Mrs. DeLory said that they gave numbers to the residents on John's Pond. <br /> Chief O'Connor asked if we can tell. New Seabury what to do apparently they would <br /> go along with it. Mrs. DeLory said that he had just had a call and someone vrants <br /> to put in a pier - the address is RFD #1 - she's got Lot 91 and Lot 97 and asked <br /> which one she should go to. Mr. Benway, clever devil, suggested the one on the <br /> 'rater! <br /> Chief O'Connor discussed the language in Article 2, Section 3 of the BylaTrs <br /> on trailers. The problem is in defining the words "vehicles" and "trailers". <br /> The Police Department receives a complaint that there'u a trailer in someone's <br /> mF� m <br />
