PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE TOWN OF EASTHAM ZONING BYLAWS

Terry Whalen (Town Planner) and Peter Whitlock (Selectmen) presented an overview of the impetus and details of Article C. Judy Brainerd of the Open Space Committee expressed her support and the need for this article. The Board expressed concerns with the article as drafted as it does not clearly indicate the open space can be used for wastewater treatment and the need to incentives for developers such as a density bonus to make the provision useful. The Board recommended to Selectmen Whitlock, that the Board of Selectmen set up a working group that included a developer, and members of the Board of Selectmen, Open Space Committee, Board of Health and the Planning Board to develop an Article the Planning Board would support. Selectmen Whitlock indicated he was in favor of such an idea. The
Board felt this article needs more work and should not be included on the ATM 2005 warrant, but could be ready soon for a Special Fall Town Meeting if the working group is formed.
