A resident of Kim Path requested clarification regarding what is necessary to retain the raised system such as wall systems the to alleviate collapse. It was agreed further clarification would be sought from the Town Planner. Meredith Kilpatrick, Tracy Lane asked why the Town of Mashpee has to supersede the flood plain regulations. Why does the Town have to rush, using hand drawn plans. Ms. Kilpatrick requested to defer this article. Paul Thurston, Popponesset indicated that fill in a flood zone is permitted by FEMA. Fill can be added in certain areas, and it is financially less costly. Flood insurance is detrimental to a lot of people including those with a mortgage. After further considering this approach Mr. Thurston recommended the Select Board remove the article deferring until the spring. Discussion followed amongst the Select Board. Chairman Weeden recommended the Board vote to add the new language to§ 174.67.1 based on the Town Planner's memo to the original article.
