Maroney emaroney@barnstablepatnot.com EDWARD F MARONEY PHOTOS WEARY BLUES - Is that a look of exasperation stealing across the features of Cape Cod Commission Executive Director Margo Fenn as yet another fine point is debated by the task force? Commission chairman Brad Crowell is listening intently. In a straw poll Tuesday, Spyro Mitrokostas cast one of two votes against the 21st Century Task Force's draft report and recommenda- tions for changes tothe Cape Cod Commission. Mike Cole of Eastham joined him, with Tony Shepley of Hyannis and Tom Moccia of Bourne abstaining. "As a Chamber Exec, and a real estate developer, I cannot support reducing the DRI thresholds and increas- ing the mitigation fees," Mitrokostas wrote to the Patriot. "Bottom line, the Task Force was created by the County Commissioners to address the Commission's past sins, particularly, Barn- stable 's DCPC (District of Critical Planning Concern), BJ's DRI (Development of Regional Impact), and the staff's rough treatment of applicants , including the Town of Barnstable over the GIZ (Growth Incentive Zone). "So while we may have ad- dressed some of the manage- ment issues, we also added powers to the Commissionin the DCPC and DRI process, not to mention the LCP (Lo- cal Comprehensive Plan) and RPP (Regional Policy Plan)." The vote was 10-2-2 to accept the draft, with four members missing.Mitrokos- tas said the nay voters and abstainers could join forces with Barnstable Town Coun- cil President Hank Farnham and Sandwich Selectman Tom Keyes, two members who did not attend Tuesday's meeting at the Hyannis Golf Club, in filing a minority report and creating a final 12-6 tally for the county commissioners to consider. ProvincetownTownManager Keith Bergman and former state Sen. Henri Rauschen- bach have yet to cast their votes. Chairman Elliott Carr of Brewster , who chaired a similar group more than a decade ago that delivered a unanimous report , said in an interview he came to believe that outcome was"extremely unlikely" this time around. "There'scertainlyavariety of fixed viewpointsthat weren't likely to change," he said. "I think some did." Carr would not agree with Mitrokostas ' characteriza- tion of "rough treatment of applicants" by the com- mission. "First, any approval pro- cess is long and cumber- some,"he said. "Speaking as a banker (he's retired from Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank), we got held as much by some towns as we did by the commission. That's not unique to the commission. It takes too long in Massachu- setts to get approvals. " Oneproblem,Carrbelieves, is that the applicant's need to talk to representatives of many disciplines - traffic, water, etc. - at the commis- sion may lead to confusion and feelings of frustration.!! "Perhaps to manyithasgivenS the impression that you were* negotiatingwith many differ-* ent entities," he said. 1 He disagreed that the re-2 port calls for raising feesj> "Nobody likesto pay monej$£ he said. "There is no magi§ line where someone above H£* charged and someone below.' is not." :* Clearly, Carr said, "the ma?* jority of the task force see2* some need for some kind of impact fee. They're imposed . in two-thirds of the United States." Asfor the attitudes of Cape Cod Commissionersandthen- staff, the report says, "Most . CapeCod Commissioners are mild-mannered,well-intend- ed, hard-working public ser- vants. The towns have done a good job appointing them. Most of the staff are typical, trained young professionals with zeal for their jobs." But, "irrespective of the quality of its personnel,there seems to be disconnection between the CCC and the development industry. A focus of this Task Force 1*3 to reduce this regulators tension." * jm A final draft based cp*» changes recommended dujvl ing Tuesday 's meeting $3 circulating, and Carr anticl^? pates one more meeting to vote on the report as it Willi be submitted to the county-- commissioners.
