She <br /> has since learned that the cyanobacteria on Santuit Pond does not go aerosol. That would be <br /> considered when purchasing that land. <br /> Ms. Waygan stated they are doing research on that. Ms. Faulkner asked if Ms. Colombo would <br /> like to speak more on this matter. Ms. Waygan recognized Michaela Wyman-Colombo for <br /> Public Comment. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> Michaela Wyman Colombo- She has been looking at research about cyanobacteria in <br /> regards to aerosolization. In talking with Ashley Fisher, she has learned that some of it does in <br /> many places, but the type we have in Mashpee, as far as she knows, does not go aerosol. <br /> Ms. Faulkner did some reading on this subject. In Enfield, NH there seems to be a cluster of <br /> ALS cases, an unusual amount, on Mascoma Lake where these people live around. She <br /> inquired further about the BMAA cyanobacteria being localized to Mashpee and she was told <br /> no. <br /> Ms. Waygan went on to say the CPC is writing its first plan. They are taking the goals and <br /> objectives of plans that exist in town now for the 4 categories they can spend money on: open <br /> space, historic, affordable housing, and recreation. The plans will be updated going forward. <br /> This will answer questions like what happens when they get an application without a finalized <br /> address, or what happens when they get an application from a property owner and not the <br /> town, or an entity that will hold this land as conservation or affordable housing? It is concerning <br /> when processing an application and they are not sure the town wants the land. <br /> Mr. Balzarini asked how the town would know if they want the land if there was no application. <br /> Ms. Waygan is hoping for a better process. If people want to sell their land for affordable <br /> housing, they should approach the Affordable Housing Committee or the Trust. This way, <br /> when the CPC receives an application they would already be aware of the AHC or Trust <br /> supporting the effort or not. <br /> Mr. Lehrer asked if the Select Board was compelled to put those articles on the Warrant or <br /> could they get that recommendation to the CPC saying they did not want to put it on the <br /> Warrant. If the applications get passed on to the Select Board for consideration on the <br /> Warrant, that's the opportunity for other boards and committees to weigh in. It acts as another <br /> check and balance for the property owner. However, if the CPC application deadline is <br /> approaching it may be tough to go that route. <br /> 6 <br />
