There are five such seed cages in the Phillis Island quahog
nursery, and altogether 100,000 baby quahogs in the first large
scale experiment of its kind in Southeastern Massachusetts.
Conservation Officer Taisto Ranta took the Patriot on a tour
of the nursery project this week, and so far, the outlook is very
good for success.

point:Monday'srequest from
Samba Grill of Brazil owner
Miriam Solon to increase the
allowed number of perform-
ers from one or two to seven,
extendperformance hoursto 1
a.m., and add a pool table.
The request brought out
an owner of anearby building
and renters who saythe Grill's
clientele already keeps them
up too late and doesn't always
respect their property.
Cynthia Cole , executive
director of the Hyannis Main
Street BusinessImprovement
District and PaulNiedzwiecki,
assistant town manager, are
trying to put together a rep-
resentative working group
to find solutions to the con-
flicting uses. He said they're
studying ordinances from
resort communities such as
Old Orchard Beach , Maine
and Key West in Florida to
discover how to balance com-
peting interests.
Cole likened the situation
to another familiar battle in
Barnstable. "If you don't like
the sound of airplanes , don't
move next to the airport ,"
she said. "You don't move to
an urban center if you would
prefer the quiet of a rural
neighborhood. "
Niedzwiecki said he's con-
tent to "let the market dictate
what happens"asthe compet-
ingusesplay out between new
residents and established
businesses or those looking
to expand. What willwork,he
said, is good standards set by
the town and good neighbors
cooperating.
The licensing authority
put off a decision on Sambra
Grill's request pending an
update from the police de-
partment. Action is expected
at the June 19 meeting.

ing headway difficult. "There
needs to be some mind candy
here."saidPresbrey."We need
to get a thinker on (towns '
boards)."
"I think there 'salot of peo-
ple passionate about this, but
they don't know what to do,"
said Elizabeth Bridgewater of
the Lower Cape Community
Development Corporation.
Those at HAC as well as
other task force members
hope to change that. Between
now and July 6 task force
subcommittees will draw up
lists of what they hope to ac-
complish inregards to afford-
able housing for those in the
workforce on the Cape.
Along with the mapping
suggestion, another idea for
towns fearful of new develop-
ment was redevelopment of
already existingstructures. A
term that was discussed was
"tops of shops,"signifyingthe
addition of apartment space
above existing stores, thus
building onto what existsver-
sus building new structures.
In the meantime the sub-
committees willdo their best
to brainstormways to convey
the message to local commu-
nities about the pressingneed
for housing. It is hoped that
at the July 6 meeting when
all reconvene the talk will be
more about solutions.
"Growth is going to hap-
pen,"said Tom Lynch, execu-
tive director ofthe Barnstable
Housing Authority.
"You can't put a dollar
amount on the definition
of workforce housing," said
Presbrey. "It'swhat is needed
on Cape Cod to keep it aviable
community."

and noise violations.
In addition, all landlords
will now have to pay a $90 a
year registration fee and be
subjected to inspections ev-
ery year. Although only a few
landlords have allowed their
rentals to become grossly
overcrowded , all of the land-
lords are now penalized.
This new law isyet another
blow to those men andwomen
suffering from poverty. Land-
lords who have kindly rented
to them in the past willcease
to do this now as they know
that it may take three of
them to make ends meet in
a one-bedroom apartment or
five to make ends meet in a
two-bedroom and so on.
A number of the homeless
population have shared that
this new law has targeted
them, victimized them fur-
ther into hopelessness and
despair. "When are they just
going to start shooting us?"
one of them said.
Instead of developing a
way to deal with these few
problem overcrowding situ-
ations,the Town Council has
made alaw which takes away
the rights of all home owners
in the Town of Barnstable. I
find this unlawful and scary.
What next?

AHOD overrides
property protections
Last week the Barnstable
Town Council passed several
ordinances, one of which re-
stricts the number of people
that can occupy bedrooms
in your home. As soon as
it goes into effect (30 days)
it will be illegal to have two
adults in the third or fourth
bedroom of your home.Many
of us unwittingly will become
lawbreakers subject to a
rather large fine. I wonder if
the town will now take daily
headcounts in order to ef-
fectively micro-manage the
number of people we have in
our bedrooms?
Granted there have been
issues dealing with over-
crowding, but this position
casts aside both our civil
and property rights. On one
hand, the town council has
severely restricted our civil
rights; yet, on the other hand
the council is proposing a
dramatic increase in the au-
thority of affordable housing
advocates withthe AHOD Af-
fordable Housing Overlay Dis-
trict zoningamendment. This
overlay district consists of
the entire town and allows
for development that the
rest of us cannot do as we
have to adhere to zoning, i.e.
property line and road set-
back requirements. Density
is left up to the applicant
and there are no caps on a
developers' profit on market
rates units.
Oneoftheintentions ofthe
AHOD isto direct growth to
our village centers. AHOD
will encourage multistory
residential development in
our villages that now are
made up of mostly single-
family homes. Since most
of us are restricted to two-
acre zoning, development
will be difficult unless you
use the AHOD. It is kind of
a back-door approach to
the so-called smart growth
land use planning with af-
fordable housing as the tool
for implementation increas-
ing density in our villages.
And we won't have much to
say about it because it will
be controlled by the Hous-
ing Authority and Planning
Board who advocatethis type
of development even though
most residents, accordingto a
recent Cape Cod Commission
survey, state that the Cape is
overdeveloped. According to
the survey one of the top five
opposed types of develop-
ment ismultistory residential
buildings, just the type of
density AHOD will create.
If you care about your vil-
lages, attend the next council
meeting on June 15.

Cape needs a
Coliseum
Summerhasnow arrived on
the Cape with the opening of
the Cape Cod Melody Tent,
and the sounds of concerts,
boxing as well as wrestling
matches, food tasting expos ,
and other festivals will be
upon us until September
rolls in and all the tourists
head home and the Cape is
quiet again.
But what happens then after
September comes? No big
concerts,no expos,nosporting
events on the Cape, and the
only way to see such action is
to travel off-Cape to Boston
and Providence, and with the
way gas is going up...
Has anyone thought about
creating ayear-long stadium
similarto the dearly departed
Cape Cod Coliseum, a sort of
"Madison Square Garden"for
the people of Cape Cod and
the Islands? If someone with
the right connections (and
a lot of money) would build
such aplace, in the Mid-Cape
no doubt , think how much
money to be saved on gas,
not to mention avoiding the
longtraffic off-Cape! Most im-
portantly, think of the jobs it
would create, not to mention
helping out the localbusiness
near the area!
Summer won't last forever,
and fall and winter are lurk-
ing behind somewhere! At
least this time, we'll have
somewhere to go to during
"the quiet season!"
