time monetary awards. Par-
don me for being cynicalbut
perhaps the density issue on
Village Green is not a "done
deal" after all. Close perusal
of the law reveals that if zon-
ing is changed to accommo-
date a 40R development, the
developer can build at least
220 units (20 units per devel-
opable acres-20 X 11 acres).
In my mind, 148 units in six
barrackslikebuildings under
the power lines, across from
the airport,adjacent to future
Exit 6 1/2, down the street
from an adult entertainment
zone, and in an Industrial
Park without sidewalks or
street lights is barely attain-
able. I understand the need
for affordable housing, but
as a supporter of accessory
housing and the proposed
alternativeto40B,the AHOD,
I believe allowing200 or more
units at that site isnot worth
the approximate$375,000 one
time incentive payment (plus
modest yearly allowance for
school age residents of the
project). The Town is reluc-
tant to abandon this project ,
but at some point, sacrificing
the future well being of our
community for the satisfac-
tion of a short term goal is
not "good deal".
MCMANUS PROPERTY: The
Town of Barnstable is explor-
ing offsite destinations for
effluent discharge. Due to
the growing areas on both
the North and South sides
of the Cape that are Areas of
Critical Concern for failing
septic systems, this is not a
question of whether effluent
discharge should be explored
but where it should occur.
The Bearse's Way plant has
topped out andthe Townsim-
ply cannot expand its sewer
system until discharge sites
are identified.
McManus, a 44 acre for-
ested parcel adjacent to the
Hyannis Golf Course, is one
of four sites actively being
considered. McManus was
purchased in part with Town
money with the intent to use
the site as a future discharge
area, (a 6.9 acre use easement
was acquired) The potential
controversy lies in the fact
that land bank money was
also used for the purchase of
the remaining acres. While
arguably the use of land bank
purchased property for the
contemplated subsurface dis-
chargemay not be technically
illegal when coupled with the
surface use for recreational
ball fields (an allowed land
bank use), the idea makes
more than just a few land
bank supporters (like me)
uncomfortable. Additionally,
the discharge poses a poten-
tialthreat to two nearby wells
controlled by the Barnstable
WaterDistrict andto privately
owned wells down gradient of
the site.
Credit should be given to
Barnstable DPW Director
Mark Ells, Director of Envi-
ronmental Services Lindsey
Counsell and Assistant Town
Manager PaulNiedzwieckifor
hosting a Wastewater Work-
shop before the TownCouncil
on Jan.26 where alot of these
concerns and more received a
fair airing. I will continue to
work with these gentlemen
and with Barnstable Water
Superintendent Jon Erickson
towards adetermination of an
acceptable site and anyneces-
sary mitigation, monitoring
and expense allocation.
TheBarnstableVillageCivic
Association will host an in-
formational forum on this
topic on Feb.27 at 7pm at the
Barnstable West Barnstable
School.
MARY DUNN ROAD: On Feb.
7, a crew willtackle a cleanup
at the end of Mary Dunn
Road.Kudos to those who are
undertaking this public/pri-
vate partnership to address
this problem: Tony Shepley,
Shepley WoodProducts;Arch
Construction; Josh Miller
Landscaping; Deputy Chief
Craig Tamash and Lt. Mc-
Donald, Barnstable Police;
the inmates of the Bourne
Correctional Facility through
Sheriff Jim Cummings and
David Neal; and Town of
Barnstable employees Joe
Slominski (Structures and
Grounds) and Glenn Santos
(Solid Waste). Shame on
those few violators who use
the Conservation area as a
way around paying landfill
fees. It is illegal,as well as
dangerous,unsightly and
unsanitary.What should be a
pastoral settingfor hikers and
a protectorat e of our water-
shed is strewn with luggage,
sinks, appliances, bedding,
construction materials, and
rusting cars. (See photos on
my Website:www.anncanedy.
com) The Town is exploring
waysto increase surveillance,
stiffen dumping fines and
ramp up enforcement .
INDIAN TRAIL has been
under assault from litterbugs,
dumpers and late night party-
goers. The Barnstable Police
will be patrolling the area.
Please call Barnstable Police
Deputy Chief Craig Tamash
immediately to report illegal
dumping, drinkingor parking.
Additionally,Ihave requested
that DPW place atrash barrel
at the Town Way to Water.
FREEZER POINT: A grow-
ing number of residents of
Barnstable Village and other
villages have expressed a re-
newed interest in the Town
acquiring the Point for open
space and various marine
uses. (See Miriam Kornish's
ABC's of Freezer Point on
my website.) The developer
Stuart Bornstein has ap-
pealedthe RegionalOld Kings
Highway Commission's deci-
sionto deny demolition of the
cannery building on the site.
That hearing is scheduled for
trial May 19th
. Interestingly,
Barnstable resident Herb
Kronish's Boston Architec-
tural Center Community De-
sign Center Studio students
are using the cannery as a
model for abandoned build-
ings in marine areas and are
designing imaginative and
creative marine uses for that
structure. By the way, any-
one interested in joining the
community effort to preserve
this unique harbor setting
should call Duncan Gibson
at 508-362-3981or emailme at
acanedy@comcast.net.
RAILROAD CLEARING: I
have been getting quite afew
callsfromresidentsconcerned
about what they feel has been
drastic tree clearing alongthe
railroadtracks undertakenby
the Bay Colony Railroad. The
railroad does have a 32 foot
right of way and is doing the
clearing as a safety matter in
the wake of several trees re-
cently downed by wind across
the track. Neil Andres of the
Town's DPW is looking into
the complaints and will work
with Bay Colony RR in an ef-
fort to mitigate the damage.
CAPE COD COMMISSION:
Barnstable Village resident
David Ansel, who has been
the Town of Barnstable 's
representative on the Cape
Cod Commission for many
years, is retiring from that
position. Mr. Ansel has been
adedicated and rational voice
for the interests ofBarnstable
andthe Cape andwillbe sorely
missed. Former Town Coun-
cilor Royden Richardson will
replace him.Congratulations
to Mr. Richardson and heart-
felt thanks to Mr. Ansel from
a grateful community.
ROADS COMMITTEE: After
a brief hiatus, the Roads
Committee, of which I am a
member, reconvened on Feb.
7. The first order of business
is the reinstitution of the
Temporary Roads Policy and
a discussion of hybrid roads.
These are roads that are part
public/part private such as
Braggs Lane and Mary Dunn
or roads that have question-
able status such as Indian
Trail which was taken as a
public road but which is still
listed as a private road.
Because I amorganizedthis
year and have diligently pur-
chased and stacked awinter's
supply of wood and financed
my gas heat plan, we are
experiencing a record warm
winter season. Not that I am
complaining! The unpredict-
ability of the Cape's weather
underlines and makes me ap-
preciate the reasons I chose
to become a Cape Codder. I
admit, however, I am holding
my breath for the big season
finale. So enjoy this great
weather while it is here!
