MINUTES GROWTH STUDY COMMITTEE §_L3_ Present: Chairman Richard Terry, Jean Thomas, Robert DeLory, Pauline DeLory, Earle Marsters, Richardson Jonas, Mike Makunas, Selectman Chester Garland and Harold Collins. Absent: Leonore Anderson (ill), Michelle Stone (out of town) Guest: Brian Barber of Interchange (Consultant) Chm. Terry convened the meeting at 8:00; the delay was occasioned by the necessity to make copies of the final draft of the zoning by-law amendments being considered for presentation at the up-coming Special Town Meeting. Chairman Terry turned the meeting over to Brian Barber, who reviewed the two documents entitled "Selected Zoning By-Law Changes" and "Proposed Zoning District Changes; Descrip- tions of Lands". Mr. Barber noted that there had been some changes since the Public Hearing was held. He pointed out in some -instances this meant adding a word which changed altered a definition to some degree; in other places it simply meant clarifi- cation. He stressed that the Attorney General only allows one "Special Permit," grant- ing authority. He indicated that on the "Table of Use Regulations", the only changes were in a few places where SP was substituted for Y. He went over some of the changes, in case there were questions: Page 8, Article 9 - may build a dock up to 451 without permit (as Town By-laws now permit) ; Page 9 R-4, allows 25% macimum lot coverage being the only change; Page 10 change in Article 8.8 Section 9.384 is deleted; Page 11 Section 10.35 enlarges directory sign to 24 sq. feet; Page 12 adds Quashnet River Sub-section 2 - changes setback to 100 feet - this is a compromise that seemed acceptable all around; Mrs. Delory noted that when the Mashpee River Corridor was originally planned, it started out to be 300 feet. How- ever some politicing at the time (led by a member of the Planning Board) , had caused it to be reduced. Jean Thomas said she would prefer compromising at a 150 foot set-back. Mrs. DeLory suggested that if this proposal of 100 feet goes before Town Meeting, that provision may be amended on the floor. Jean Thomas wished to have it noted that there was not unanimous agreement on this clause as it is now going before Town Meeting. Brian Barber said he had done his best with this final document, and he feels it encom- passes all changes requested and input provided at the Public Hearing. The next step he said was to have this version published and placed in a new warrant for a Special Town Meeting. All agreed it was the responsibility of the Selectmen to prepare and have printed for distribution the warrants for the Special Town Meeting.
