Growth Review.Committee Page 3 <br /> Minutes of July 7. 1982 <br /> acquired which would be helpful to them in preparing the two-step plan. If the choice <br /> was that you go out to the public and hire someone else, you're going to have to be <br /> repititiouso <br /> Mr. Marsters said there should be some benefit from it. The only other thing he felt <br /> is you always do better if you make it more competitive. Give them the impression <br /> you're thinking of someone else. <br /> Mr. Jonas didn't feel the Committee should give the information to the Con sultantj <br /> but they should give the information to the Committee. <br /> Mr. Terry said that's not the way they see it though. They feel we're the technicians, <br /> we do the policy, we tell them what we think should happen to Mashpee,, where we <br /> want things and they'll write it all out. <br /> Mr. Jonas felt the consultants are the professionals and they are the ones who should <br /> do the planning and we should do the commenting. <br /> Michele Stone felt the Committee has to tell them what we want them to look at then <br /> they can come in and put it into the language and into the plans. The Committee <br /> makes the decisions and they follow through. <br /> Mr. Makunas said the Committee is to give them the direction but they can look at <br /> things and their opinions based on their expertise. <br /> Sol. Thomas stated that that's what Interchange did. They made 'a lot of recommendations, <br /> Mr. Terry said his feeling is to go with Interchange unless there's some other <br /> legitimate concerns that anybody feels should be interviewed because it could be <br /> time consuming to go through this stuff. Interchange has the understanding we don't <br /> just want a long document,, they know we're practical. They would change things and <br /> maybe.drop some things off the proposal. We work with a budget and we want some stuff <br /> for Town Meeting and if we make any zoning changes, we want them for February 183. <br /> We have to base the changes on some kind of master plan. One concept made clear by <br /> Interchange is anytime we make changes, we have to base it on some statistic data. <br /> Otherwise there can be some problems. Legally that's what the Attorney General's <br /> Office looks at. If someone is unhappy about a change, you can show them the master <br /> plan. Mr. Terry then wanted to know the concerns members of the Committee had. <br /> Mr. Marsters said one of the thoughts the Planning Board agreed on was a downtown <br /> area where we allowed apartment-type housing and businesses; zoning to establish a <br /> downtown area. <br /> Mr. Terry stated for that type thing we may or may not need a consultant to come in. <br /> Mr. Marsters felt we do need them because the Board is unpaid and doesn't have the <br /> time to draft it. <br /> Mr. Makunas asked where the village would be and the Board agreed it would have to <br /> be around the radius of the shopping center and rotary <br /> Mr. Terry asked if there were any thoughts on lot sizes in the Town as far as changing <br /> them or anything. <br /> Mr. Collins and Mr. Jonas felt the Town was pretty well set right now as to size. <br /> Mr. Terry stated that Interchange had suggested some of the one acre zoning go up <br /> to two acres <br />
