F, September 12, 2022 VI I 1 0 I'll 4 1 "11 k "Ll L N.V., =411WNITIMITI-M, Wff#rlwl Dunrobin Road resident Chuck Gasior indicated he personally allocated funding to allow for the purchase of a new and larger American flag for the Town of Mashpee in 2004. He further purchased a new flagpole and then two more for the State and Mashpee Wampanoag flags. All flown with diLmity at the Mashpee Rotary. A 4h flagpole was suggested to be flown at the Masbpee Rotary depicting the new Town Seal. With the Select Board's approval Mr. Gasior stated he would pay for this as well. Marjorie Hecht indicated that most of us are not builders or developers, we just want to protect the environment. In her opinion it is mind boggling the Select Board would not support the floodplain article as it would protect many properties from flooding. Ms. Hecht urged the Select Board to protect the welfare of residents as well as I the Mashpee environment. I the new Town Seal is very beautiful and it represents so much of Mashpee. A Town Seal flag could be flown and displayed at the Town's public buildings as well. Mr. DeSorgher indicated in 1985 the Mashpee Rotary was officially named Pine Tree Comer, Although increased signage poses safety issues, it may be possible to erect a wooden sign at the Rotary to depict the official name. A resident of Riverview Avenue made note of the first Earth Day held in 1970. The Select Board was encouraged to be proactive to create a moratorium for all development in sensitive areas until sewering is online. With federal and state funds available, it was recommended the Town hire a grant writer. This would greatly assist the Town needs. Cotuit Bay Condominium resident Alexander Jackson stated the setbacks are inadequate for the wetlands. In moving forward, he is supportive of extending the setbacks along the wetlands. There is increased pollution with the cyano blooms in warming waters. There is a need to keep our waterways clean as it may take a long time to get the sewer into operation.
