BOARD OF SELECTMEN MINUTES Page 3 MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1990 I Ca pa Cod Mosquito Control Project: The annual assessment for the mosquito control service is $38 , 977, but Selectman Hanson would like to know where the money spent is going. Kevin Harrington .has indicated there are maps in his office locating the spray areas for the Selectmen and public to review. 7: 0 p.m, Mr. Burden re.: New Seabury Wastewater Facility: It is noted that S'eiectman Lawrence has 'stepped down for this hearing. Chris Burden was thankful for the support of ,the Board of Select- men and Board of Health to expedite matters with DEP to schedule a meeting. There were two hearings ,concerning the jurisdiction issue with the Cape Cod Commission. The first was the 15th of October and the second, the 25th of October. Mr. Burden believes over the weekend of the 20th of October, the decision went from legal criteria to political criteria. The Commission voted 3-2 that the jurisdiction was subject to the Commission. Most of the reason being the project is not in compliance, is that the project is neither for commercial or residential use and the wastewater treatment facility is a massive and industrial type not mentioned in the special .permit. . Mr. Burden is asking the Board for political actions to address the situation. He cannot believe it is non exempt the same way the special permit covering the area is exempt. The project will be delayed for two years and the new projects considered cannot wait that long-7-his includes the New Seabury Hotel expansion and the Village projects. Mr. Costa was surprised the vote had changed. Mashpee was prepared to have the project reviewed and New Seabury was prepared to pay the fee. Plant #1 is below size and does not require an EIR so it is not subject to be reviewed by the Commission. Plant #2 is of concern where MEPA has not made the determination of EIR. Selectman Jacobson- will meet with the Cape Cod Commission on November the 8th and will try to clarify the reason for the change . A project of this magnitude is what the people voted the Commission for. Chairman Carter has asked George Costa to seek_ more information on. Plant #1 and Plant #2 for clarification and for Mr. Burden to explore through counsel alternatives and define what may have happened at the meeting of October the 22nd. Kevin Harrington noted that we should not loose the potential benfit to the town with the project proposed in Plant #2 for the hotel conference center and the revenue derived..
