Preservation <br /> of the property as open space would protect the wildlife habitat. There is <br /> also frontage on the Pickerel Cove section of Mashpee/Wakeby Pond. <br /> Ms. Buschenfeldt recommended the CPC explore the option of using the <br /> CPA 10% open space reserve to alleviate fiscal constraints to the Town. <br /> An opinion would be requested of Town Counsel on the suggested <br /> concept to mortgage the 10%open space reserves set aside by the CPA to <br /> offset costs. <br /> In other matters, Peter Thomas challenged the Board of Selectmen in the <br /> matter of public safety to work with the Fire Department and Mashpee <br /> Water District to review options to provide water to the few homes at the <br /> north end of Mashpee. A recent fire in the area prompted Mr. Thomas to <br /> request residential protection for life safety. <br />
