Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals <br />September 14, 2011 <br />Minutes <br />• Nelson voted yes. Mr. Bonvie voted yes. Mr. Blaisdell voted yes. Mr. Furbush voted <br />yes. Vote was unanimous to grant the Special Permit. <br />Although not on the Agenda, the Board allowed Mr. Donald Douglas of 21 Edgewater <br />Road to address the Board. Mr. Douglas stated that he was instructed to `just show up at <br />the ZBA meeting'. Mr. Douglas said that he was told that the Police Department does <br />not have the personnel to increase patrols in his neighborhood. He said that he and some <br />of his neighbors plan to install speed bumps on their street to discourage speeding <br />drivers. The speed bumps will be removed during the winter months. Mr. Nelson said <br />that, since Edgewater Road is a public street, this is a DPW issue. Mr. Douglas said that <br />he has received approval from DPW. Mr. Reiffarth urged Mr. Douglas and his concerned <br />neighbors to submit license plate numbers of the speeding motorists to the Police <br />Department. The Board also encouraged the neighbors to contact DPW about installing <br />more caution signs on the street. <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br />DiscussionNote: Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at commencement of ZBA Meetings. <br />Mr. Blaisdell made a motion to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at commencement of ZBA <br />meetings, as long as there is a flag in the room.
