There was discussion about touring the Trout Pond parcel. Ms. Waygan will contact Mr. Storrs <br />about possibly scheduling a walk on February 26. Mr. Balzarini recommended placing an ad to <br />generate more interest. Ms. Waygan stated that Mr. Storrs had expressed concern regarding the <br />topography of the area and that it was more tranquil closer to the street due to the elevations. <br /> <br />Park Facilities and Amenities <br />Mr. Fudala pointed out that the Mashpee Commons Plans utilize existing sidewalks and parks, with <br />no new space but recommended consideration of the green space between the church and Whitings <br />Road area, if permission could be acquired from the Housing Authority. Mr. Kooharian stated that <br />there were a number of green spaces and not all activity would need to be located at the green <br />across from the library. There was also discussion about offering winter time skating. Mr. Fudala <br />suggested looking at the kettle hole behind the church for skating, adding that the cranberry bogs <br />were likely not an option since they had conservation restrictions. Mr. Balzarini suggested offering <br />kayak rentals. Mr. Balzarini also inquired about the liability on the trails but Mr. Fudala stated that <br />most trails proposed by Mr. Storrs were existing trails. <br /> <br />Mr. Fudala inquired about ideas for the eyebrow space located at Jobs Fishing Road. Mr. Balzarini <br />expressed concern about traffic in the area. Mr. Fudala stated that there would be a pedestrian <br />crossing. Mr. Kooharian suggested thinking creatively about what could be featured at the location, <br />such as a fitness site or benches. Mr. Fudala also highlighted a green space along Route 151 with a <br />bike path running through it. <br /> <br />Funding, Ownership and Maintenance <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Ms. Waygan stated that the next step would be to participate in the site walk. There was some <br />discussion about the feasibility of the Children’s Museum being located in the Trout Pond area. Mr. <br />Fudala noted that an area had been cleared that had been considered for the Boch facility and <br />sewerage treatment. Mr. Fudala noted that there had also been discussion about locating the <br />Congregational Church at the site. Ms. Waygan will contact Mr. Storrs about the site walk and <br />confirm with attendees by email. There was discussion about another Subcommittee meeting but <br />Ms. Waygan responded that she would make a determination of when that would be. <br /> <br />MOTION: Mr. Balzarini made a motion to adjourn. Mr. Kooharian seconded the motion. <br />All voted unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jennifer M.
