sentatives and the Cape Cod
Commission were expected
to complete a materials list
for the exterior of the build-
ing, which will further guide
its design.
People should not expect
shingles, Mosby said, but
they should expect a modern
building that is reflective of
the Cape's past.
"We should have waited
! Until we could have given the
town council and the public
a real artist'srendition of the
building," Mosby said.
Once the materials list
is decided, such renderings
will be drawn up for a later
. presentation.
"The airport isperceived as
being the gateway to the en-
tire Cape," Mosby said, "And
we want a building that will
be indicative of that."
Other Bits
What holds promise for
the non-airbound from this
project is a proposed access
road that would provide a
new outlet allowingmotorists
to avoid much of Route 132's
- commercial areas.
In an interview last week,
Mosby said that the planned
access road would run from
(Attucks Way near the FP
Webb building, across to the
Blackburn site and inside
the airport property to the
northern side of Barnstable
Road (essentiallythe airport's
rotary access road).
Attucks Way, which started
life as Hadaway Road , pro-
vides access to the Route 132
' shopping plazas. While it is
, easy to get to the Phinney's
Lane side of the roadway,
therehasnever been adequate
access from its starting point
off Airport Road. Motorists
' leaving Hyannis from points
' east and south of the Airport
"" Rotary are still required to
1 travel down a good length
' 'pf Route 132 before making
legalturnoffs toward Attucks,
either on Airport Road or at
Independence Drive. Some
motorists maneuver through
the Capetown Plaza to avoid
a portion of Route 132.
The airport access road
would be open to the general
public, Mosby said. He said
that keeping it public would
qualify it for state highway
funds. That could also help
defray local costs associated
with the overall proje ct.
At the Commission
The terminal project is
making its way through the
Cape Cod Commission's de-
velopment of regionalimpact
review and is expected to
emerge with a permit this
spring.
The next step, according to
Mosby, is afull-court press by
Barnstable and other com-
munities looking for terminal
construction funds, covered
at about 90 percent, with the
state'sDepartment of Trans-
portation.
With limited funding avail-
able, the unified approach
from Barnstable, Nantucket
andWestfield-Barnesairports,
with assistance from the
Massachusetts Aeronautics
Commission, will be to lobby
for adifferent release of funds.
Rather than going to a single
project , placing communities
in competition for projects,
airport representatives will
argue for disbursing funds
to all to cover bonding costs.
This approach would require
that the projectsbe bonded lo-
cally,but Mosby said it would
work as a pass-through, with
state funding used to cover
debt service.
Another approach would be
to convince state transporta-
tion officials to release road
funds for projects not slated to
beginin the current fiscal year
in support of airport projects
ready to get going.
Both approaches require
somelobbyingto be approved,
which is what Mosby said will
be happening in the spring.
If funding is not available,
it would be placed on hold
until it does.

BEDC needs help
With Patrick Princi's
resignation (he 's become
a probation officer for
Bourne, working out of
Barnstable 3rd District
Court in Falmouth, so
morning meetings are out),
the Barnstable Economic
Development Commission
is looking for three new
members.
Recently retired town
councilor Roy Richardson,
a former BEDC chairman,
wants to serve again. Chris
Kehoe of the Hyannis Area
Chamber of Commerce has
submitted a letter also. In
the wings are Ralph and
Deborah Krau. Cynthia
Cole of the Hyannis Main
Street Business Improve-
ment District, a former
co-chair, has expressed
interest.
The town council ap-
pointments committee
has named Councilor Jim
Munafo as liaison to the
BEDC.
Princi will remain a mem-
ber of the planning board.
Bringing the boards
together
Growth management
director Ruth Weil told
the Barnstable Economic
Development Commission
that she's still working
toward a joint meeting of
town boards for a "visioning
session."
That prompted Town
Council President Hank
Farnham to recall the
planning and development
"cabinet" that met monthly
in the 1980s. "It died from
the development fear per-
spective," he said.
Weil, who had asked
the BEDC to discuss how
impact fees might be ap-
plied to developments if
the town's bid to create a
growth incentive zone is ap-
proved by the county, told
members to wait until town
departments complete
their review.

to sprawl.
The very preliminary draft of the
revised RPP -more presentations to
interest groups plus full public hearings
and a final vote by the county Assembly
of Delegates will come later this year
- stresses creation of growth centers in
which projects up to, say, 15,000 square
feet (as opposed to 10,000 now) could
be created without commission review.
Another option is using a development
footprint rather than total square foot-
age, whichwould encourage buildingup
rather than out.
Also new in the draft is a limited De-
velopment of Regional Impact review
option. Projects under, for example,
20.000 square feet and above 7,000 square
feet would be required to mitigate only
the most serious impacts.The hope isto
speed up the review process and encour-
age appropriat e development .
The idea of lowering the commercial
threshold to 7,000 from 10,000 square feet
is controversial,Lipman acknowledged.
He said many buildings are being built
just under the threshold, and that these
escapehavingto make any contribution
to mitigation. By dropping the thresh-
old, he said, the costs would be spread
among more projects at a lower rate.
In Barnstable , Lipman said, the town
has applied for designation asthe Cape's
first Growth Incentive Zone (the other in
the pipeline is Dennisfor its Dennisport
area). The agreement would allow com-
munitiesto avoid commission review up
to acumulative threshold rather than on
a project-by-project basis. That would
be possible only ifinfrastructure support
were in place and that offsets (areas of
decreased density) had been identified
elsewhere in the town.
The draft 2006 RPP Is scheduled for
release in May, and public hearings will
be set for that month. Information about
the plan is on the commission'sWeb site
at www.capecodcommission.org
New RPP could adjust DR1 thresholds...
