Mr, Weeden also recommended consideration of restoring the Parsonage, located on Reservation property, but a complement to the Historic District. Mr. Weeden noted that the Parsonage was one of the oldest buildings in Tow, and in need of repair. Additionally, the Tribe wished to seek having the structure placed on the National Historic Register. The Chair inquired whether the Tribe could draft an application for the November 1 deadline. Mr. Lehrer stated that he had been in discussion with Mr. Weeden about identifying the appropriate level and scaling of funding for the,project, such as the re- creation of building plans, preliminary architectural and historical research, engineering for rehabilitation of the building, study, design and execution. Mr. Lehrer was interested in creating an application but was unclear of the availability of funding and the Chair recommended submitting an application. The Chair suggested that a privately held historic building would be eligible, provided it was open to the public for a specified amount of time. Regarding Recreation, the Chair noted that Mashpee Pond was in need of a reconstructed basketball court, the playground needed to be completed and picnic tables and grills added. Mr. Lehrer suggested a large project, to develop a bicycle master plan to build out the bike path trails so that, as the DPW built out its streets, bicycle infrastructure could also be incorporated. Mr. Lehrer also reported that two owners had expressed interest in selling their properties to be used for affordable housing, including 3.1 acres from the Armenian Diocese on Old Barnstable Road and Christine Murano on Fox Hill Road for the green space set aside.

Mr. Rowley advised that a letter was needed detailing a cost for each item requiring completion for the road, submitting a check for the amount or providing a cash bond, to be reviewed by Counsel.

Mr. Lehrer recommended that the project proponent attend the next meeting to request the lot release with the necessary documentation.
