6 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> November 17,2008 <br /> APPOINTMENTS AND HEARINGS: <br /> The Cape Cod Commission has been working with the Cape towns to <br /> create a Regional Land Use Vision Map for Cape Cod. The Regional <br /> Land Use Vision Map is being developed using information about <br /> sensitive resources, local planning knowledge,and existing patterns of <br /> development to identify discrete areas to focus growth and redevelopment <br /> efforts, and to identify resource protection areas that require additional <br /> planning or where significant change may not be appropriate. To date, (6) <br /> of the fifteen Cape towns have submitted their Vision Map to the <br /> Commission. The 10/30/08 draft Regional Policy Plan(RPP)has been <br /> forwarded to the Assembly of Delegates. The categories used to create the <br /> map include Economic Center, Industrial Service Trade Area, Village, <br /> Resource Protection Area and Other. <br /> The Town Planner and representatives from the Cape Cod Commission <br /> (CCC) and Massachusetts Military Reservation(MMR)met with the <br /> Board of Selectmen a few weeks ago to discuss the Vision Map for the <br /> Town of Mashpee as supported by the Planning Board. As a result of <br /> several inconsistencies,the Selectmen deferred their approval for <br /> additional review of this matter. <br /> Ms. Kane indicated the Planning Board supported the use of the Vision <br /> Map as it is contained the Town's Local Comprehensive Plan(LCP), <br /> under the Growth and Growth Management chapter. The plan was <br /> produced in 1998 with input from Town departments, the public and it <br /> was approved by the Cape Cod Commission. The Land Use Vision Map <br /> is noted to be a simplified approach to land use goals on a broad scale. <br /> The Selectmen related concern with respect to the ten-year plan that is in <br /> need of updating prior to submission to the CCC as changes to the map <br /> must be approved by the Commission and Assembly of Delegates. <br /> The Town of Yarmouth has submitted their Vision Map to the CCC and <br /> has recently submitted a list of planning board comments regarding the <br /> Regional Policy Plan. The Selectmen were in receipt of the list of <br /> concerns. <br />
