It very recently came to our attention that the above referenced application triggers Cape Cod
Commission thresholds as a Mandatory Referral for a Development of Regional impact (DRI). The size of
the proposed parking lot and the overall disturbance of land exceeds 40,000 square feet. Based on this
new information, the Board will need to open the public hearing and vote to refer this application to the
Cape Cod Commission as a Mandatory Referral. A follow-up motion will also need to be taken to
continue the hearing to a date and time certain. The Chair, Paul Wallace, will open the public hearing
and then ask Town Counsel, Jonathan Silverstein to speak to the matter. The Chair will then allow the
applicant to speak briefly, but they cannot speak to the merits of the case. There will be no public input
on this application at this evening's meeting, as this is a Mandatory Referral.
Below please find the reference to the Barnstable County Ordinance, along with recommended motions.
