Clean water is a noted part of Mashpee's lifeblood, its culture and its economy. In Ms. Hecht's opinion, it is mind boggling the Select Board majority did not support the proposed amendment to restrict the amount of fill in a floodplain at their last meeting. Approval of this article would protect our residents from flooding and the degradation of our waters. As the Planning Board explained the passage of this article does not make lots unbuildable. It simply protects the property owners in the floodplain from construction caused flooding. Ken Debrowski, 3 Great Field Landing further discussed the proposed residential tax exemption stating the process would shift the tax burden to non-residents, mostly second homeowners who have the ability to pay the residential tax. Gregory McKelvey a resident of 11 Menemsha Road indicated he is a member of Finance Committee and a Select Board candidate. Mr. McKelvey stated he is pleased the ARPA funds would be moving forward to offset costs associated to Phase I and Phase II of the sewer/clean water project.
