17 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> June 15, 2015 <br /> APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS: <br /> Public Hearing: Private to Public Road Conversion of Annawon Road, Canonchet <br /> Avenue, Crow Road, Huron Avenue, Metacom Road, Mohawk Road, Oneida Avenue, Seneca <br /> Avenue, Wamsutta Road, Wessagusset Avenue: (continued) <br /> Tara Andrade of Huron stated that her house has a large drainage problem. Vehicles and <br /> motorcycles drive right through her property to alleviate going through the puddle located in <br /> front of her home. Ms. Andrade stated the bottom line is that everybody has the responsibility to <br /> pay for the roads. <br /> A resident suggested the Town negotiate a lower percentage rate, because mortgage rates are <br /> much lower than 5%. Another resident inquired about sewerage costs in the future. <br /> Cathleen Pinoura 22 Seneca Ave stated that her road is fine and asked as to why she would have <br /> to pay for everyone else's street. <br /> Doug Semple, 43 Seconic Drive, noted that his driveway lies on Sagamore. However, he <br /> understands this is a public safety issue. Mr. Semple stated that it is really our issue, and the way <br /> we want to live and it is our decision. Mr. Semple noted that having heard the DPW Director, <br /> the next phase is going to us. It is going from the Board of Selectmen to Town Meeting who will <br /> ultimately vote in the process. Minority people need to be protected. Mr. Semple suggested the <br /> Board of Selectmen communicate with the people to ask them if they want to go from private to <br /> public. <br /> The Board of Selectmen consulted the Fire Chief with respect to public safety. Chief Rullo <br /> indicated there are varying degrees of safety. However, the Fire Department is charged to get to <br /> the person who called 911 and in the Town of Mashpee will do our best to get to you. <br /> Doug Semple indicated if the road were made public there would be a serious problem with <br /> traffic. He recommended the Board keep the project on the shelf. <br /> The Chairman of the Board of Selectmen recommended taking this matter under advisement at <br /> this time to revisit this matter. The Board of Selectmen agreed to make a determination at the <br /> next Selectmen's Meeting. <br />
