The Chair inquired about the NEPA screening report. Ms. Thompson responded that <br /> there was a separate analysis of historic homes and it was determined that there were no impacts to <br /> historic homes. The Chair ask that the report be provided, referencing a concern previously expressed <br /> about a particular camera angle of a historic home. Ms. Thompson responded that images were <br /> provided in the photo simulations, but that the report could also be provided electronically. Ms. <br /> Thompson noted that the locations depicted included the Aiken Gertrude House, the Amos Horatio <br /> House, Children's Museum and the Landing at Gertrude Way. <br /> There was consensus from the Board for the Chair to open to Public Comment. <br /> Tom Rose, Mashpee Police Captain, stated that south Mashpee had terrible cell and radio service. <br /> Captain Rose specifically referenced the recent micro burst and the lack of service necessary to assist <br /> with coordinating safety efforts. Captain Rose expressed concern about the lack of service for reasons <br /> of safety. <br /> Howard Kahalis, Mashpee and Boston resident, stated that he paid taxes to Mashpee and agreed with <br /> Captain Rose that there was no cell service on the day of the micro burst, and expressed concern about <br /> being able to locate his grandchildren. Mr. Kahalis questioned scheduling meetings after the summer, <br /> when New Seabury residents were not in town. Mr. Kahalis stated that, as taxpayers, they were <br /> entitled to cell service for safety reasons, adding that it would be a breach of fiduciary relationship <br /> should any Planning Board member vote against the proposal, suggesting that any injuries or deaths <br /> resulting from voting against the cell tower would be the responsibility of the Planning Board. The <br /> Chair asked that Mr. Kahalis not threaten Planning Board members and make the issue personal. Mr. <br /> Kahalis stated that he was in favor of the proposal. <br /> Andrew Gregory McKelvey, member of the Finance Committee and resident of Popponesset, stated <br /> that often cell service was available with WIFI or with the help of a cell booster. However, with the <br /> loss of power, there was very limited cell service in the area and he expressed concern regarding <br /> safety, particularly for,people with medical issues. The recent microburst created a significant <br /> challenge for safety and accessibility to cell service. Mr. McKelvey supported the proposed cell tower. <br /> Maureen Holland, Uncle Percy's Road, shared her experience during the microburst, including being <br /> unable to leave her property. Ms. Holland expressed safety concerns if she had needed to reach <br /> anyone by cell phone and stated her support for the proposed project. <br /> 6 <br />
