The land lies within the boundaries of the Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge, and it is <br /> situated in the recharge area of the Water District's Belcher well. Acquisition of the property as <br /> an addition to the Quashnet Woodlands has been a recommendation of the Town's Open Space, <br /> Conservation, and Recreation Plan for the past ten years. <br /> The acquisition project was previously before the Community Preservation Committee. In 2014, <br /> the real estate appraisal for the development of said property was $577,000, and the combined <br /> assessed value was $570,000. In fiscal year 2015, the assessed value for the William Mingo <br /> Road property was $406,000, and the Saddleback Road property $131,700. In 2003, the Town <br /> (Land Bank) and Mashpee Water District made an offer to purchase the property for $400,000 <br /> for open space, water supply and protection purposes. Funding would derive from the <br /> Community Preservation Budgeted Reserves for this purpose. <br /> The vote of the Community Preservation Committee was unanimous 9-0 in support of this <br /> article. <br /> The Board of Selectmen recommends Town Meeting approval by a vote of 5-0. <br /> The Finance Committee recommends Town Meeting approval by a vote of 5-0. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Thomas O'Hara. <br /> Motion: I move the Town vote to appropriate and transfer $425,000 from the Community <br /> Preservation Fund Budgeted Reserve in accordance with the provisions of M.G.L., Chapter 44B, <br /> §5 for the purpose of funding the acquisition of the Littleford Moniz Jordan property; 104 <br /> William Mingo Road; 23.6 Acres identified on Assessor's Map 51, Block 6 and 60 Saddleback <br /> Road, Mashpee; 0.856 Acres identified on Assessor's Map 43, Block 14 for open space and <br /> 8 <br />
