Overlay districts can serve multiple purposes,such as encouraging <br /> denser development or discouraging development in natural resource areas. <br /> The Town Bylaw does not provide a purpose and criteria for most overlay districts in Mashpee. Below is <br /> an explanation of the purpose or criteria for overlay districts provided in the Zoning Bylaw: <br /> Groundwater Protection District: <br /> The purpose of Article XIII in the Zoning Bylaw is to protect public health from the contamination of <br /> existing and potential public and private water supplies and to protect the general welfare by preserving <br /> limited water supplies for present and future use. <br /> Popponesset Overlay District: <br /> The overlay allows for small lot sizes(6,000 square feet)and greater lot coverage. <br /> Wireless Facility Overlay District: <br /> The area within the two hundred ten(210')foot wide Commonwealth Electric Company transmission line <br /> easement running generally east-west between the Falmouth Town line and the Barnstable Town line, <br /> westonandsampson.com 6 e� <br />
