6 Mashpee Select Board Minutes January 9,2023 APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS Discussion_ and Possible on Communiwty wPreservation MActw Committee Disc wAMIlication: Drew McManus: (continued) In considering the parcels proposed for the disc golf course, the Select Board was in agreement to concentrate recreational activities in the hub of the Town's recreational area on Ashumet Road. There is established parking, and additional gravel parking could be added at the site to alleviate parking at the dog park or pickleball court areas. Additional signage could make parking delineations clear to the recreational users. It was also noted this is a very quiet activity with a minor noise level. Disc golfers tend to have the same etiquette as regular golfers. In an effort to further review site selections with the DPW Director who oversees buildings and grounds, Town Manager Rodney C. Collins recommended the Select Board defer approval to the next meeting. Motion made by Selectman Wyman-Colombo to table the Disc Golf project to the Select Board meeting on January 23,2023.

This is the first of a series of public engagement sessions planned to educate and to seek comment on Santuit Pond. An article is planned for the May Town Meeting warrant to restrict vessel use on Santuit Pond by prohibiting the use of internal combustion engines and electric engines in excess of 5 horsepower(hp). This action would limit potential disturbance and the resuspension of sediment into the water column, and preserve water quality in the pond to support other forms of recreation. This would also be protective of public health and safety. The Department of Natural Resources in conjunction with the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe's Natural Resource Department, engineering consultants Fuss &O'Neill and The Southeastern New England Partnership Program (SNEPP)recommend the approval of the proposed article for the May 2023 Town Meeting warrant. Fuss &O'Neill consultants Diane Mas and Erik Mas have been working under the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program grant for the Town of Mashpee.
