FROM YOUR COUNCILOR: Hank Farnham, Precinct 11...

will also participate in the
council' s budget workshop
this spring, which willprovide
the councilors and our com-
munitywithadditionalinsight
into budget deliberations.
My suggestion in the
Cape Cod Times article that
Barnstable should withdraw
from the Cape Cod Commis-
sion drew much more support
than I imagined. In fact , the
response was almost over-
whelming from people frus-
trated with the Commission,
and not just from the Town
of Barnstable. To be sure,
there were the loyal backers
of the Commission who took
me to task for meddling in
their affairs.
Again, allow me to explain
my opinions about the Com-
mission. I have been in the
commercial finance business
on Cape Cod for decades and
Ihave "seen it all" during that
time.
I have been through three
recessions and three recov-
eries - one would think we'd
learr how to balance things
out. There was a sign in our of-
fice at the bank- "God , please
just give me one more real
estate boom and I promise
not to blow it this time."
Experience dictates that
anythinginvolvingpermitting
before the Cape Cod Commis-
sion is usually a nightmare,
which is well known through-
out the Cape and even off
Cape in development circles.
The Cape Cod Commission
has done an admirable job of
strangling commercial devel-
opment and redevelopment
- just ask any lawyer or de-
veloper who has been forced
to go before their regulatory
committees. However, the
Commission has had minimal
impact on residential devel-
opment partly thanks to the
specter of 40B.
One might ask, what has
been the consequence ofCape
Cod Commission regulatory
oversight on our business
base? The quick answer is,
look around at the myriad of
buildings in the 9,500 to 9,900
sq ft range, or much larger
buildings where an off Cape
developer has had to spend
millions of dollars in "mitiga-
tion fees," and taken years in
some cases to get all required
approvals.
While I am not a supporter
of the big box stores, there
have been many more excel-
lent businesses that chose to
do business in other commu-
nities so they would not have
to deal with the Commission.
I suspect some are pleased
about that since maintaining
a strong economic base or
providing jobs for our young
people , who more often than
not locate off Cape when they
are done with their education
here, is not a high priority of
Commission supporters.
Creating good job oppor-
tunities, not job obstacles ,
should be a priority of the
Cape Cod Commission since
job growth is critical for us.
Why do we place such a
high priority and invest so
much money on educating
our youngsters only to see
them leave after graduation
so some other community will
benefit from their talent and
incomes?
Cape Cod Commission sup-
porters have a goal - "pre -
serving Cape Cod" which is
admirable and I fully sup-
port . However, preservation
through creating obstacles
to development and punitive
regulations is very unhealthy
for the long-term fiscal well
being of our community. The
Commission has concentrated
on controlling commercial
development ,while 85percent
of the development has been
residential whichreceives only
a smallamount of Commission
oversight.
The Cape Cod Business
Roundtable recently has been
discussing the future of the
Cape Cod Commission. As I
understand it, they plan to
study the next stage, if any, for
the Commission, and report
out their recommendations
in a few months. While I am
not involved with the Business
Roundtable, I have avision for
the Commission that I want
to share with them.
That vision has the Com-
mission converting from the
poor regulatory agency it is
to a good regional planning
and technical support agency.
There certainly is a need for
a super agency to deal with
waste water issues, drinking
water quality, pond and estu-
ary pollution , modern zoning
initiatives, traffi c enhance-
ments , affordable housing
etc. etc. etc. I believe the
Commission can accomplish
important work for all Cape
Cod in that arena, but not
in the regulatory arena. The
question is, are we finally
ready to upgrade?
I'll probably get more feed-
back on the Cape Cod Com-
mission, which is fine , but
it really is time for changes
there. The Town of Barnstable
has a large and very talented
infrastructure in place with
the new Growth Management
Division to manage our future.
I can't help but wonder why
the Barnstable taxpayers
are still paying the Cape Cod
Commission$500,000 annually
for membership.
Thank you for the oppor-
tunity to serve you. Contact
