Handicapping coastal hazards
Water hazards of another
sort -the kind that can wash
awayyour land and makeyour
home tumble into the drink
-were on tap when the state
Coastal Hazards Commission
held a public forum Tuesday
at Barnstable Town Hall.
"There was a lot of discus-
sion about erosion and beach
nourishment,"said Sue Rohr-
bach, district aide to state
Sen. Rob O'Leary.
The meeting, one of five
held at various coastal loca-
tions, was chaired by O'Leary,
who serves on the board with
Sen. Therese Murray of Plym-
outh, Rep. Eric Turkington of
Falmouth and other state and
local officials.
Thiswasasoundingtour for
the commission, which is try-
ing to gauge public awareness
about threats such asflooding
and erosion and what people
are doing to respond.
Some speakers had more
to say about threats from
restrictive or wrong-headed
government regulation.
Rohrbach said Cheryl
Bartlett , former executive
director of Community Ac-
tion Committee of Cape Cod
& Islands who's now working
on a beach renourishment
project on Nantucket , "re-
ferred to Massachusetts as
the last bastion against beach
nourishment.She said they're
building beaches elsewhere,
even the Army Corps (of En-
gineers)."
Amanfrom Plymouth spoke
about living in a cul de sac
of new homes where the ero-
sion rate has suddenly grown
to 10 to 15 feet a year. "We
have three years before the
houses fall into the ocean,"
he said, but the owners can't
securepermitsto protect their
properties.
Fred Stepanis of the town's
conservation division was
concerned about federal flood
insurance programs that are
incentives to build in known
flood hazard areas, according
to Rohrbach. He also urged
reduction of paved areas in
flood zones to limit runoff.
It was mentioned that sand
mining is allowed in the state
marine sanctuary for beach
renourishment, but O'Leary
noted the importance to fish-
ermen and lobstermen of not
disturbing the bottom.
More questions and answers
are available on a Web site,
www.erosion.com
The commission is due to
report to Gov. Mitt Romney
later this year.
Canalside conclusion?
Years of battles over the
ramparts high above the
Capeside entrance to the
Bourne Bridgemay be coming
to an end. A decision by the
Cape Cod Commissionislikely
this summerin Len Cubellis's
long march to develop the
property.
His plan calls for a 78,500-
square-foot specialty retail
complex and a 6,500-square-
foot restaurant on about 153
acres. A Chapter 40B develop-
ment of about 300 residential
unitsispart of the project ,but
does not fall under Commis-
sion review.
A Commission meeting on
the matter that's posted for
June 15 is likely to be post-
poned to the end of August.

COUNTY CLIPPINGS
New chance for 40B alternative...

changed, but the town should
aim high in expectation.
Councilors Rick Barry of
Cotuit, and Greg Milne, Jim
Munafo and Harold Tobey, all
of Hyannis, voted against the
proposal, but each had differ-
ent reasons.
Barry wanted to see the
AHOD linked to areas identi-
fied inlocalvillage plansTobey
voted against the proposal be-
cause the 40 percent provision
wastoo high,Milnebecausethe
proposal contained an option
to lowerthe percentage,which
he wanted removed.
The proposal to be brought
back retains the 40 percent
requirement , but includes
a mandatory 18-month re-
view/sunset provision to see
if the program is working as
anticipated or if adjustments
are warranted. That appeared
to satisfy membersofthetown
council at last week's agenda
meeting where the proposal
was discussed.
TheAHODwasadaptedfrom
the PublicInitiativeAffordable
Housing District (PIAHD),
which resulted from an arbi-
trated settlement between the
town and developer Jacques
Morin.
The PIAHD was targeted
to deal with Morin's multiple
high-density projects in the
Castlewood area of Hyannis,
but the planning techniques
employed-maintaininglot size
andhousingdensityconsistent
with existing development
- are central to the AHOD
proposal.
The AHOD concept is not
tied to any one area of town,
but would be available to be
applied to residential areas
acrosstown.Developers would
identify a parcel, draft a con-
cept plan and apply to the
towncouncilto havetheAHOD
provisions applied. Gainingthe
designationwould be step one,
with amore comprehensive re-
viewof the proposal'sspecifics
to follow through a planning
board governed process.
The Cape Cod Commission's
30-unit threshold for Develop-
mentofRegionalImpact review
of new subdivisions effectively
limits the AHOD to develop-
ments of 29 units or less.
The proposal is expected be
reintroduced at the June 15
councilmeetingandreferred to
ajoint public hearing with the
planning board on July 20.
