Mr. Storrs made references to the Open Space and Commercial Center Bylaws, <br /> and transfer of development rights. He noted that after formal application has been made, <br /> the subcommittee will drive the process;deciding what information is required, <br /> scheduling public hearings, and chairing any such meetings. <br /> Mr. Dascombe interjected that both the Planning Board and the subcommittee <br /> would conduct joint hearings throughout the process and that the Planning Board would <br /> be present at all hearings/meetings. <br /> Upon completion of a Development Agreement all parties,Mashpee Planning <br /> Board, Cape Cod Commission, and Mashpee Commons, will be in agreement and will <br /> sign the agreement with the Mashpee Board of Selectmen adopting/signing the final <br /> document on behalf of the Town. <br /> Dennis Balzarini asked about the status of the new Regional Plan, to which Mr. <br /> Storrs stated that the document is greatly improved and that Mashpee Commons has <br /> agreed to operate under the new rulings. <br /> Mr. Dascombe reviewed some of the advantages of developing the Agreement <br /> stating that the role of the Planning Board is to look to the regulations of the Town in <br /> order to ensure that areas of concern and importance are incorporated into the document <br /> in order to protect the best interest of the Town. He also informed the Board that the <br /> Cape Cod Commission representatives would attend Planning Board meetings for this <br /> purpose. <br /> The Chairman suggested that everyone.prepare an outline of all of the issues and <br /> questions they feel have not been satisfactorily addressed in order to better prepare and <br /> expedite matters prior to the formal submission with reference to Planning Board issues <br /> and concerns. <br /> Mr. Storrs agreed to this suggestion in order to prevent delays and <br /> misunderstanding. <br /> Mr. Rowley inquired as to the voting process; to which Mr. Dascombe replied <br /> that most likely the votes would betaken separately, also noting that the subcommittee is <br /> not a signatory to the agreement. The subcommittee would vote to endorse the <br /> agreement and make a recommendation to the(full) Cape Cod Commission for approval. <br /> The subcommittee would require a majority vote. <br /> Discussion concluded at this point, 7:30 p.m., with the agreement that questions <br /> and issues of concern would be forwarded to Mr. Storrs for consideration and that this <br /> matter would be continued to February 4, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. <br /> Mr. Dascombe agreed to prepare and submit an executive summary of the <br /> Development Agreement for Planning Board review to be considered as a guideline. <br /> 2 <br />
