Good afternoon,
Following up on our discussion last week, here are links to several relevant strategic planning documents that informed
the Select Board’s decision-making process around the acquisition of the Sea Camps properties – see attached synopsis
from yesterday’s packet. These documents will serve as important guideposts for our planning efforts around the pond
property. I have also attached a copy of the Select Board’s FY22-23 Strategic Plan which includes 6 goals specific to the
Sea Camps properties – note that this document is annually updated following a goal setting retreat each summer.

Town of Brewster Vision Plan • 2018
BREWSTER’S
2018 VISION PLAN
How the Community’s
Vision for the Future
is Taking Shape
Prepared by the
Brewster Vision Planning Committee
June, 2021
INTRODUCTION
Brewster’s Vision Plan is the expression of community
preferences for the Town’s social, physical, and economic
evolution. Approved by the Select Board in July 2018, the
Plan provides a vision for the future and includes goals and
actions to guide decision making of Town government,
community organizations, and citizens. The Vision Planning
Committee was established by the Select Board in late
2019 to “foster public outreach and communication around
the implementation of the 2018 Vision Plan and work with
Town staff and the community to develop a Local
Comprehensive Plan (LCP) based on the Vision Plan goals.”
This is the first Annual Report to the community on Vision
Plan implementation.
THE VISION PLAN
Over 18 months in 2017 and 2018, Brewster residents
engaged in a series of workshops and a public survey to
identify key issues facing the community, goals for the future,
and actions to achieve the goals. These activities were
designed to identify community values and build consensus
around priorities.
Through this process, the community identified eight key
issues facing Brewster which became the ‘building blocks’
for the Vision Plan: community character, open space, hous-
ing, local economy, coastal management, water resources,
governance, and community infrastructure. For each of these
building blocks, the Plan identifies a goal with related purpos-
es and actions to achieve the purpose. In many cases,
actions on one building block will help advance the goals
of other building blocks.
This first Annual Report is structured around the building
blocks, reporting on actions that have been taken or are
underway to achieve Vision Plan goals. It draws on over 50
interviews with Town boards, committees, and depart-
ments and with not-for-profit
organizations and businesses in
town, all selected because of their
role in implementing elements of
the Vision Plan.
IMPLEMENTING THE VISION PLAN
Vision Plan implementation has faced challenges and change, including
a financial management crisis that forced the Town to freeze spending
and programming; a change in leadership with a new Town
Administrator and a new approach to strategy and operations; and
finally the effects of the COVID pandemic on every facet of community
life and Town operations.
Despite these conditions, there has been surprising progress in implementing
the Vision Plan. Those interviewed credit dedicated staff and volunteers, the
commitment and character of citizens, and the leadership of the Town
administration. The Select Board now uses the Vision Plan framework to
guide its two-year strategic planning. Many felt that the Vision Plan rein-
forces their charge and direction, a fortunate alignment of citizens’ priorities
with the direction of Town government and community organizations.
At the same time, the interviews revealed many barriers to implemen-
tation. Not surprisingly, a major barrier has been the COVID pandemic
which closed facilities, prevented face to face contacts, and slowed the
pace of operations. In addition, the current zoning and permitting
process are constraints to many of the innovative development ideas
expressed in the Vision Plan and to growing small, local businesses.
Others identified small staff and reliance on volunteers as a constraint on
their capacity to undertake new programs. Similarly, the lack of facilities
has constrained programming, particularly for youth and older residents.
Finally, the rising cost of land represents a serious brake on the acquisition
of land for housing and open space in Town.
NEXT STEPS
While this Report documents the many actions that have been taken or are
underway, much more remains to be done to achieve the goals in the
Vision Plan. Some actions have been started but need more time for
completion, others remain to be started, and still others require further
design to adapt to evolving conditions in Town, including climate change.
The community, and particularly Town government, will have to remain
focused on the Vision Plan goals if its real impact is to be achieved.
The Town is starting the development of a Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP)
following the guidelines of the Cape Cod Commission. The LCP will be built
on the framework of the Vision Plan, and it will further detail actions to
achieve those goals. Particularly related to Brewster’s physical development,
the LCP will provide guidance for regulatory change and further housing
and open space development. Once certified by the Cape Cod Commission,
the LCP also will provide access to resources and technical assistance
from the Commission. Work on the LCP will begin in the fall of 2021.
THE VISION PLANNING COMMITTEE
The Vision Planning Committee was appointed by the Select Board in
December 2019, but its start was delayed because of COVID. Current
members of the committee include Hal Minis (chair), Sharon Tennstedt

Brewster Open Space and Recreation Plan | 2021 1
SECTION 1. PLAN SUMMARY
Sunset by the Jetty. Photo credit: Bill Damon
The 2021 Brewster Open Space and Recreation Plan reflects the overall aspirations of this community as
expressed by its residents in surveys, public hearings, and town meetings from 1970 through 2021.
Residents wished to incorporate protection of water resources, open space , and recreational
opportunities with the preservation of the Town’s rural character and small coastal community identity.
The Town of Brewster, through its Open Space Committee, and other Town departments, boards, and
committees, has worked hard to preserve the Town’s precious natural resources and to provide and
maintain a variety of public recreational facilities. The Town has built strong partnerships with non-profit
partners, such as the Brewster Conservation Trust, The Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts, Inc.,
and other government agencies, such as the Cape Cod Commission to further open space and recreation
efforts.
For this 2021 OSRP update, the Town conducted a comprehensive review of the 2014 Plan as well as
other planning initiatives that support open space and recreation planning, particularly the Brewster
Vision Plan. The update of the OSRP involved an extensive public engagement campaign, including a
community survey and public forum. The town also engaged its municipal, regional, and non-profit
partners to ensure that the plan is comprehensive, realistic, and achievable. The Plan includes an updated
Brewster Open Space and Recreation Plan | 2021 2
inventory of open space and recreation lands, and an analysis of Brewster’s open space and recreation
needs. As a result of Brewster’s inclusive planning process, the five overarching goals of the 20 21 OSRP
are:
1. Protect the Town’s drinking water supply to meet the needs of residents and visitors today and in
the future.
2. Provide open space and recreation opportunities that maintain Brewster’s rural character and
small coastal community identity and support a sustainable local economy as a center for
ecotourism.
3. Preserve and enhance habitat diversity and protect marine and fresh surface water resources to
maintain their important ecological functions and values to the community.
4. Provide a variety of recreation and open space opportunities to promote healthy and active
lifestyles for Brewster residents, ensuring equitable accessible for all users and abilities .
5. Support coordination and communication of regional open space and recreation needs.

The vote was with the understanding that the following uses could occur on
the Pond Parcel: habitat protection, watershed protection, open space,
conservation and passive recreation, active recreation, community housing
and general municipal purposes.
From one of the public presentations prior to Town Meeting:
The Pond Parcel was the largest privately-owned parcel in Brewster & one
of the largest undeveloped parcels on Cape Cod. 66 Acres - About half of
parcel is in Zone II (aquifer recharge area), Brewster Water Protection
District & Natural Resource Protection District.
• The Pond parcel is largely undeveloped
• Structures include boating equipment storage & an office
• At 66 acres, there is sufficient space to meet multiple community needs.
How could the property be used?
New public beach on Long Pond (residents only?)
Recreation activities, e.g., swimming lessons, boating, sailing
Conservation/open space, habitat & watershed protection
Public watercraft storage (kayak, canoe, stand-up paddleboard)
Partnership with Brewster Conservation Trust to develop extensive
hiking/trail system of 100+ acres when combined with adjacent Robinson
property
Partnership with Massachusetts Audubon Society to develop on-site
programs
Appropriately-scaled community housing near Route 137 (partnering with
Brewster Affordable Housing Trust)

Good morning, Donna. Thank you for your thoughtful analysis of parking potential at the pond site and for your
suggestions as to how short term use could be achieved. I appreciate that you and Griffin took the time to give this a
thoughtful look. I am cc’ing Chris on this as it is the short term working group whose work will be most impacted by the
parking issues. Please extend my thanks to Griffin for his work on this and thank you for your thoughtful input on this
and on all aspects of our committee work.
Regards,
Doug

Hi Doug, I had planned on reviewing the site in person with Griffin Ryder after I sent him and other staff
the proposed temporary parking plan that you had sent to me. We also discussed this at our last
Department Head meeting. I understand that there is potentially room between P16 and P17 for a few
cars to park or turnaround but the considerations are many beyond whether we can fit cars there or
not. Griffin and I have visited the site again and actually measured parts of the drive and it is anywhere
from 16ft to 14ft wide; the narrower sections are more towards the end. The minimum width for a
standard road is 20 feet with 24 being the standard. While we were down there, we had to pull over for
another car to pass and sending the public down this drive to park is not something that town staff
desires to do at this point in time. If a car has to pull over to get out of the way and lands in an area they
can’t get out of, scratches their vehicle on trees or anything else happens, they could claim the Town is
liable. I also worry about setting any standards for where people can park or future parking scenarios
until full discovery has been done by the consultant. In terms of that specific area, it is very soft sand
and would require some hardening surface to it. Also, the site line turning around is very bad. The
boulders were placed at the bus turn around area to keep folks from going down there unattended and
we do not want to move them until we have determined what that area will be used for in the future. As
discussed, there can be no parking down at the beach areas as there are wetlands down there. I
understand the desire to want to get people onto the property, but we cannot open the parcel to the
public until we have adequate oversight there and understand site conditions. For the Bay, we did an
engineered plan for the beach parking and went through all of the required permitting and have staff
there anytime the public is on the property. The Public is not allowed to park in any areas that are not
specifically designated on the parcel. For potential walks or hikes, I think if we were to plan them for the
fall/spring, we should designate specific dates for a limited number of events and consider having an off-
site meeting place, potentially the Bay parcel then we can see if for those dates, we can get a van to
transport over to the Pond. Again, I fully understand the desire of the Committee to get people on the
property, but we have to do this in a very measured and safe way that meets the standards that the
Town is expected to adhere to. Producing a good video that provides residents a high level view of the
parcel is a great way to give them some understanding for when we enter the planning and community
engagement phase. It is important to remember that the Select Board, Administration and residents
purchased these parcels with the understanding that they could be used for multiple purposes as laid
out in the Town meeting warrant article and that the committee’s task is to look at all of these potential
uses and engage the public in the process. We are not advocates for one use or another but for what is
2
in the best interest of the whole community who came together and voted to purchase the Sea Camps
for all the potential they offered. Best, Donna

FROM: Peter Lombardi, Town Administrator
RE: Bay Property Planning Committee Charge
DATE: July 8, 2022
When the Select Board approved the original charge for the Bay Property Planning
Committee (BPPC) in December 2021, we included the following language in the
committee’s purpose: “If recommended (future) uses include construction of a
community center and/or Town offices, evaluate alternative uses of Council on Aging
site, Town Hall, and/or Eddy (Elementary) School”. In working with Reed Hilderbrand
to develop the project brief and scope of work for comprehensive planning consulting
services, it became clear that exploring alternatives for these other Town properties and
facilities would be best taken up in future planning phases once the comprehensive plan
for the Bay property is completed. While the committee certainly needs to account for
potential impacts on other Town properties in assessing future use scenarios of the Bay
property, especially if there is consensus support to site a community center at this
location, those processes and related decisions will likely be sufficiently complex without
further expanding the committee’s scope to also include evaluation of multiple
additional properties, each with their own range of reuse options.
The BPPC unanimously voted in favor of this proposed change to the committee’s
charge at their July 19 meeting.

RE: Pond Parcel Property Planning Committee Charge
DATE: August 4, 2022
When the Select Board approved the original charge for the Pond Property Planning
Committee in December 2021, the Board decided to make the Recreation Commission
member a liaison. The original suggestion from Administration was that they be a
voting member. It has become clear after a few months of meetings that the
composition of the committee would be better served with the Recreation Commission
member as a voting member and this would also make it a committee of 11, instead of
10 members. Typically, there is a preference for an odd number of committee
members.
When the Select Board, Town Administration and Brewster voters approved the Town
meeting warrant article for the acquisition of the Pond Parcel, it was with the
understanding that the following uses could occur on the Pond Parcel: habitat
protection, watershed protection, open space, conservation and passive recreation,
active recreation, community housing and general municipal purposes. It is important
that the Committee explore all options thoroughly so that the Board and the public can
make decisions about the future of the parcel.

It was good to see you at the One Cape Conference.
Thanks for the information regarding the rowing group. I will pass this on to our administrative team and
committee.
As I explained, the future uses of the properties are in the hands of 2 planning committees. With the help of
consultants and community input, we will be creating plans to present to our voters at future Town Meetings.
Thanks again!

Kari,
It was great to see you at One Cape earlier this week. I wanted to follow up on the Cape and Islands Rowing/Cape Cod
Masters Program on Long Pond. We currently row off the beach at the Town of Harwich landing/beach on Long Pond
Road on the south side of the pond. We run youth programs, masters programs and special programs for cancer
2
survivors. Weather permitting, I circumnavigate the pond each day with several other rowers. I pass by the former Sea
Camps facility regularly and can dream of a fantastic rowing facility.
I know that Brewster is in the early stages of studying your new acquisitions but I hope that you might be willing to talk
with us about how we might become part of the ultimate reuse of this truly unique property.

Follow up Discussion form Site Visits:
Members took turns commenting on the recent site visits, some of the topics included:
Property is currently in much of an undeveloped state, there is a lot of work ahead for the
committee.
Financial options, in which Ms. Kalinick noted that in the scope of services the result of the process
will be a creation of plans and preliminary financial information. Ultimately any decisions will need
Town Meeting approval. Both committees will have to receive additional allocations for any plans
that are approved to move forward.
Public input will be important throughout the process.
Eye opening to go with the group, questions came up during the site visit about parking,
infrastructure, and recreational uses, lots to discuss in future meetings.
Committee will be tasked in balancing the beauty of the environment with public access without
loosing the essence of the parcel.
The current property manager is a wealth of knowledge that the committee will rely on throughout
their meetings.
Committee will need to educate the public about the pond property and what the relationship with
Mass Audubon and other groups will look like as the committee progresses.
Update on Plans for Technical Assistance:
Ms. Kalinick provided an update: The Town had hired Reed Hildebrand to help write the scope of work and
the project brief for the request for interest to hire a consultant, who will assist through this process. This
requires a unique skillset. The same consultant will be assisting with both parcels. In the packet is the final
project brief and the proposed scope of work, this was sent to selected firms on June 6. There will be a walk
through with the consultant to familiarize themselves with the property; there will also be a time frame
where they can ask questions, ultimately, the Town will accept proposals in mid-July. Once the proposals are
accepted, the Town will have a review team, consisting of Peter Lombardi, Donna Kalinick, the Director of
Public Works, Director of Natural Resources, the Chair of both parcel committees and the Select Board Chair.
The Town hopes to have a team under contract by August 15, 2022.
Ms. Kalinick noted that there will be several phases and types of work that needs to be done, including,
maps, zoning around the parcel, regulatory constraints, overlays of different districts, looking at access and
circulation. All of this type of data driven work needs to be done and presented to the committees before
the future of the parcel can be determined. In the scope of services, there is also the potential to look at if
appropriately scaled housing can be considered on any part of the parcel.
To begin both committees will work together for community input, then they will have separate community
forums that are specific to each parcel. There will be quarterly meetings between the committees.
Ms. Kalinick commented that the project brief captures the spirit of what the Sea Camps was and what it
could potentially be in this community, very much based on the planning documents already in place, Vision

Plan, the Local Comprehensive Plan, the Open Space and Recreation Plan, Coastal Management plan, and
Housing Production Plan.
At the next meeting, the Committee charge will be reviewed in conjunction with the scope of work.
The committees will be provided a full package of all the information, so they can consider all the pieces
together for the property. In the packet, page 24 reviews a timeline.
Update on Short-Term Public Access Plans for Resident Beach:
Ms. Kalinick informed the committee that the Town is still on track to open First Light Beach on July 1.
Hoping to have a ribbon cutting on June 30, more information to follow. Since this is a resident only beach, a
policy was created to govern the beach, this is included in the packet for review.
Initial Discussion on Potential Short-Term Uses for Pond Parcel:
Ms. Kalinick expressed that this discussion is to start to think about ways we can get the public more familiar
with the parcel, can include interim access (walks/hikes) and video footage. Need to keep in mind that there
is not much parking on site.
In providing some short-term access, it forces the committee to consider some issues that will ultimately
need to be completed down the line. Testing how short-term access works, informs decisions in the future.
The Town continues to work with our insurance provider on short term access considerations.
Members provided some initial thoughts and suggestions to the committee:
Melissa Lowe- would like to have a brainstorm session about the needs and how to introduce the
parcel to residents, one option could be through co-sponsored walks.
o Melissa will work with Bill Henchy and Amy Henderson and will present ideas to the
committee at the next meeting.
Parking ideas were discussed, including “turnouts” and small parking areas, things to keep people off
the roadway.
Elizabeth Taylor noted that any time there are wetlands there is a possibility of native American
occupation of the area, may have to go through Mass Historic for any work completed.
Bill Henchy mentioned that there was archeological work around Town for the Museum of Natural
History, there may be information in their files that may be helpful. Ms. Kalinick noted this may be
part of the discovery work as well.
Katie Gregoire offered to help create a video tour of the property. This can be a resource for the
discovery period as well as people are curious about the property.
o Katie will work with Jan Crocker and Kari Hoffmann and provide a presentation at the next
meeting.
In regard to public access, Ms. Kalinick noted that effort it took to coordinate both the tours of the Bay
property and the resident only beach, at this time the Town does not have the capacity to offer public access
on both properties.

The committee agreed that a review of the relevant town documents would be helpful at the next meeting,
specific members will present an overview of the Town’s planning documents.
Ms. Kalinick reminded that proposals for request for interest were due on July 14, 2022. We received one
proposal from Reed Hilderbrand, the next step is for the Review Committee to individually review and
evaluate the proposal and interview Reed Hildebrand the second week of August. If all criteria are met and a
score of advantageous or highly advantageous is meet, the Town hopes to have a contract in place in mid-
August. Two documents are included in the packet, the scope of services and the project brief, which help to
develop the vision of the work of the two committees.
Discussion of plans for video
Ms. Gregoire presented a slide deck of the proposed Pond Property Video, an on-site guided tour for the
public. The slide deck included:
Purpose- an educational tool for the general public reviewing the layout of the land, trails and beach
fronts.
Cast- Katie Gregoire and subject matter expert Ed Barber
Look & Feel – “documentary style” informational tour, speaking directly to the residents of Brewster.
Graphics- on-screen graphics and text-on-screen to highlight important features or facts.
Mood Board- examples of what the footage may look like, aerial footage and point of view footage.
Talking Points
o How the property came to be acquired
o 66 acres of land, 1200 feet of shoreline, 1.2 acres of wooded swamp, 2 acres shrub swamp
o Largest freshwater pond on the Cape
o Parcel is largely undeveloped
o Geography of the pond-adjacent area and the access drive and walking paths
o History of use, local flora and fauna
o Residential neighbors and members of the pond planning committee
Plan of Capture- reviewed the plan for shoot day
Draft Timeline- proposed timeline on creation of the video, proposed final product in early October
Members then took turns providing feedback on the proposed slide deck and asked questions regarding,
natural resources maps, walking trails, expected length of the video, inclusion of the committees work and
future community input. There was also discussion about including MA Audubon to appear in the video. The
committee spoke about options to distribute the finished product to capture as many residents as possible.
Question was raised about engagement with the Wampanoag tribe for this parcel, Ms. Kalinick commented
that through the beach naming contest several names were submitted that were historic in nature and/or
related to indigenous people. The Town reached out to local historians, local tribal council, and local leaders
to help review the history of the Bay Parcel and seek guidance. Ms. Kalinick noted that outreach had been
centered around the Bay parcel.

Discussion of short-term uses of the Property
Chris Williams reviewed the memo that the subgroup provided in the packet that outlines their ideas for
short-term uses for the property. The committee provided feedback for the ideas:
“Wayside” exhibits- includes map of the property and adjacent conservation lands with trails, history
of the parcel, natural history, and the planning process.
o There was discussion regarding the location to place these exhibits for the public.
Development of informal video tour.
Town sponsored guided walking tours/woods hikes in partnership with Mass Audubon and Brewster
Conservation Trust. These would be by reservation only.
o Ms. Kalinick commented that any parking ideas would need to be vetted through professional
town staff, including Police and Fire. Ms. Hoffmann directed attention to the scope of services
that is included in the packet for use of the property, a helpful document to review in detail.
“Open House”
o Ms. Kalinick noted that the discovery around access and parking will be an important piece of
any future decisions that are made. At this time, there is no timeline for when the discovery
phase will be completed.
Planned group use such as Recreation Department field trips, Mass Audubon educational outings,
and others.
Guided paddle board trip to the property from the Long Pond board ramp.
o Mr. Woods added that there could possibilities for a mountain bike or off trail runs to access
this property with parking at another location.
Once the Pond Parcel video is released, in which the intention is to introduce the property, people are going
to want to access the property. The committee will need to manage the expectations and be realistic.
Discussion on potential bus tours and interim parking
Chair Wilcock referred to the document in the packet in which the logistics of the Bay Property tours was
conducted last fall and the feedback provided by Ms. Kalinick. Chair Wilcock noted that interim parking plans
will need to be placed on hold until the discovery phase is completed, and the committee can work with the
consultant.
Report on contact with Fred Dunford and other sources re: historical use of site
Contact with Fred Dunford, a local archeologist has not been made at this time. Ms. Taylor noted that the
Town has an archeological resources map that may be helpful.
