Darby commentary 'riddled with inaccuracies
Councilor Crocker responds
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following
correspondence from Osterville
Town Councilor Jim Crocker
to Councilors Janet Joakim
and Leah Curtis was sent last
Friday in response to their Guest
Commentary in the March 31
edition of the Patriot. It has been
recorded with the town clerk and is
reprinted here in its entirety. Minor
differences in the text are the result
of corrections to typographical and
grammatical errors.
Re: Patriot guest
commentary,
"Darby"
Fellow Councilors:
I understand your commit-
ment to defeat the request
for COMM's Water Easement
contained in agenda item 2006-
100. 1will not make any attempt
to influence your positions on
this item. I am writing today to
influence the approach we all
take as Town Councilors to this
item: please treat this item with
the same due diligence, non-
personal approach as I've seen
from you two Councilors in the
past.
Why do I take the time to
write the E-mail to talk about a
common sense approach? Be-
cause your Guest Commentary
Article in the Patriot is riddled
with inaccuracies. I don't want
to believe the article was writ-
ten with the intent to spew in-
accurate incorrect information.
When any councilor sponsors an
agenda item, one needs to cor-
rect false public perception and
inaccurate information. It will
take many hours away from my
family and livelihood to correct
the damage from this poorly re-
searched article. I will do it; but
it angers me to have to spend
my time this way. As we've all
seen of my personal flaws, I
don't hide my anger well! I'm
never angered over a disagree-
ment of opinions; I'm always
angered over covert personal
attacks that lack substantive
empiracal support.
To support my position of
the inaccuracies of your Guest
Commentary Article. I propose
the following for your consider-
ation:
1) Item 2006-100 requests a
Conservation Restriction.
FALSE:The agenda item at
my request of the Town Man-
ager's office does not include a
conservation restriction.
TRUE FACT:A conserva-
tion restriction normally would
not allow pumping for Public
Well Supply without a recorded
exemption.
TRUE FACT:Your article is
riddled with fear and loathing
techniques about an impend-
ing dooms day effect should a
"non-existent" Conservation
Easement be placed on the land
when in fact that type of ease-
ment isn't requested.
2) The fear and loathing techniques
regarding Water Treatment costing
millions of dollars for each well.
FALSE: Is the perception that
not all wells are treated before
consumption by the public.
FALSE: Is the perception that
DEP-approved wells don't nor-
mally cost millions of dollars.
TRUE FACT:All wells have
some form of treatment by DEP
regulations based on sampling.
TRUE FACT:Every well costs
millions of dollars. I stated this
during the Asset Review of the
Barnstable Water Company.
TRUE FACT:The document
circulated to each of us from the
Groundwater Geologist DeNatle
states that wells cost millions of
dollars.
3) The fear and loathing technique
that land we paid millions for would
be restricted to passive recreation.
FALSE:The impression
throughout the article that the
entire land would have restric-
tions.
TRUE FACT: The easement
as sent to us Councilors after
GIS calculations state 17.71AC
of upland affected by the ease-
ment. The Darby parcel is 106
plus acres according to GIS
calculations.
TRUE FACT:The Town will
not deed out the Pond area in
the easement because the Town
was not deeded the Ponds.
4) The fear and loathing techniques
that ball-fields will not be permitted
in the area.
FALSE:The assertion that
the balance of the area can't
accommodate a ball field or
co-habitat with a zone one well
field.
TRUE FACT;The easement
leaves over 53 acres of upland
not encumbered by either the
original acquisition conserva-
tion title or this request of
COMM. Several ball fields can
be built on 50 acres.
TRUE FACT: Ball fields
can co-habitat with Zone 1
well areas. Barnstable just
built McBarron Fields on Old
Falmouth Road, Marstons Mills,
with a COMM active well only
several hundred feet to the
South.
5) The incorrect assertion regarding
the COMM and Town Agreement.
FALSE: The statement that
the design recognized water
issues.
TRUE FACT;The water is-
sues you reference are septic
and pond water issues.
TRUE FACT:The agree-
ment didn't address Public Well
Supply because no science was
available at the time.
TRUE FACT:The Agreement
was drafted prior to public well
supply testing and in fact it was
this Agreement which allowed
for COMM to enter the property
for public well supply testing.
6) The article states Osterville
affordable housing plans "have not
yet come to fruition;there has been
little to no progress to date."
FALSE:The assertion is un-
substantiated and false in every
arena.
TRUE FACT:I placed myself
in a tough spot to resolve a
legal conflict with the Swee-
ney parcel. The Town took the
Sweeney parcel and Sweeney
was suing for damages. The
Town Manager, the Legal De-
partment and myself brought
all parties to the table; as-
sisted in a resolve which got Mr.
Sweeney the parcel and a LIP
program for affordable units on
that site.
TRUE FACT:I have several
hours of work with Osterville
Village Association (OVA) get-
ting the redraft of the Local
Comprehension Plan (LCP) to
identifying in writing support
for parcels to be developed
under the affordable housing
umbrella.
TRUE FACT: I have recently
requested of the Manager's
Office the drafting of RFP's on
these sites after the budget
season.
Editorializin g
Thisinaccurate statement is
apersonalinsult to me after the
hours of time I have invested to
see progress. Each of you two
councilors come from Villagesthat
have missed their 10% quota by
more than 300housingunits.What
have you two accomplished in your
Villageto foster ahousing plan?
I respectfully request you
two councilors take time and a
microscope to review my above-
mentioned factual points. I look
forward to your response. I am
recording this E-mail with the
Clerk on Monday because of
the late hour. My only request
is that you respond in writing
and also record that response
with the Clerk. We do not need
another assertion of bad behav-
ior for not making our positions
and e-mails known to the pub-
lic. I await your response.
TRUE FACT:WATER IS
THE COMMUNITY'S LIFE
BLOOD; WATERMUST BE
AVAILABLEFOR ALL OF THE
COMMUNITY'S FLOCK.
