enefit <strong>of</strong> – I think, to the benefit <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>. And the <strong>Town</strong> could still<br />

come back and rezone this property later on for General Residence with<br />

the proper overlays and so forth, but it really is time to move forward on<br />

this. It’s been way too long and I think everyone will agree: it’s overdue.<br />

This thing needs to be completed and let’s get on with it and do what we<br />

need to do to make it work because, you know, with all due respect, the<br />

Planning Board has not brought us a solution to date. Thank you.<br />

THE MODERATOR: Okay, Ms. Johnson. And then Mr.<br />

MS. JOHNSON: I’m Patricia Johnson; I live in North<br />

<strong>Falmouth</strong>. I am familiar with this property and very familiar with that entire<br />

corner. I’d like to correct one thing that Laura Moynihan said. She said<br />

there was a commercial use on the abutting lot, which is the one that has<br />

all the polka dots on it and is presently a parking lot for the Beach House<br />

across the street, because they don’t have any parking lot. It is not zoned<br />

any business district. It is a residentially zoned lot with a special permit on<br />

it.<br />

I’ll also inform you that I think her word, using this as “fringe”<br />

use, in other words changing it to Business 3, is not fringe to me, it is<br />

commercial creep, and we see commercial creep everywhere in this town.<br />

I wouldn’t mind if the Planning Board came back with this as General<br />

Residence, even though I think that’s somewhat <strong>of</strong> a commercial creep. I<br />
