16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />Ms. Waygan stated at the Select Board meeting last week she encouraged residents to participate in <br />the workshop on Saturday, June 11, 2022 and again at the July workshop. <br />TOWN PLANNER REPORT <br />Update on Popponesset Overlay District <br />Mr. Lehrer has an upcoming meeting with the neighborhood in mid -June and he will report back to the <br />Board. This is a challenging issue that doesn't have a potential solution, but meeting with the <br />neighborhood to identify possibilities is a start. <br />COMMITTEE REPORTS <br />Cape Cod Commission- No Report <br />Community Preservation Committee- No Report <br />Design Review- No Report <br />Plan Review- No Report <br />Environmental Oversight Committee- No Report <br />Historic District Commission- No Report <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />Paul Rifkin- His comment has nothing to do with anything discussed. He is here to speak because he <br />believed words matter. We live here in a vibrant community and have much to cherish about the town. <br />The spirit of the community and the will of its people to work together is what brought great success. <br />The spirit will work together and continue to progress into the future. He has been dispirited. He has <br />heard and read words used by people in this community that concern him. He finds them to be contrary <br />to community itself. He would point to statements aimed at a particular person stating that they go back <br />where they came from and another statement referring to member of the community as a Tsar. As a <br />person of Jewish decent, especially in the military he has experienced anti-Semitism and it offends him <br />deeply. These words move us backwards and create a road block to the community progress we hope <br />to achieve. That is why they must be called out. If we allow palpable threats without being stood up to, <br />in the least, the community spirits will or could result in actual physical violence. It is seen across the <br />country. He asks this Board to condemn all words that demean and value all contributions of every <br />persons. If we are to live together and not die together, we must learn a kind of charity and tolerance, <br />which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet. <br />Lynne Barbee- She has the LCP flyer that can be posted in some of the residential bulletin boards like <br />Stratford Ponds, Southport, or Popponesset. She would like to note that June 12, 2022 is Race Amity <br />Day festival that goes from Noon - 4:00p.m. She also directed folks to the Public Library to see the <br />incredible exhibit on immigrant families in Mashpee. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />MOTION: <br />Mr. Balzarini made a motion to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Board at 8:17p.m. Seconded <br />by Ms. Faulkner. All in favor. <br />16 <br />
