Board of Selectmen Minutes August 10, 2004 APPOINTMENTS AND HEARINGS: Planning Board/Cape Cod Commission—DCPC: (continued) Arnold Chase, Mashpee Commons Limited Partnership recommended for the open dialogue to continue as there appears to be a lot more questions than answers at this point. It was noted that traffic is a problem that all Cape communities are facing. Mashpee Commons has hired a consultant to review the rotary and is willing to contribute resources to assist with the planning process. Mr. Chase made note of the Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP)and the provision for an annual review. An implementation committee was in place and the LCP plan could be a vehicle to assist with the review process.
