S Board of Selectmen Minutes October 6, 2008 COMMUNICATIONS & CORRESPONDENCE: Review of Tax Takings: It was agreed the Board would schedule a meeting in November to review tax-taken properties owned by the Town of Mashpee. The Town Manager recommended the Board consider a publicly advertised auction to generate additional revenue for the Town. Ms. Mason indicated that she would like to have the properties for sale in December and complete the process by mid-April. APPOINTMENTS &HEARINGS: Cape Cod Commission—Paul Niedzwicki, Ernie Virgilio: Mashpec's representative to the Cape Cod Commission(CCC) Ernest Virgilio was in attendance with Heather McElroy, CCC Natural Resource Planner and CCC Master Planner Sharon Rooney to discuss the Regional Land Use Vision Map project with members of the Board of Selectmen. Also present was Brian Nickerson the Chief Planner for the MMR. Mr. Neidzwicki was unable to attend the meeting. The Regional Land Use Vision Map is being developed by the CCC to identify resource protection areas that require additional planning or where significant change may not be appropriate. The local planning departments are submitting information for the project regarding sensitive resources and existing patterns of development to identify discrete areas to focus growth and redevelopment efforts. A draft Mashpee Land Use Vision Map as approved by the Planning Board was presented to the Board for review. The majority of the map identified a large portion of Mashpee as a resource protection area. Additional areas depicted on the map contained the economic center, industrial trade areas, villages, and the MMR labeled as"other." Upon review of the proposed vision map, it was noted that it was developed in accordance with the Town's Local Comprehensive Plan. However, the Selectmen found several discrepancies. Items not shown on the map include the absence of property around the Mashpee rotary that would be identified in the economic center designation and industrially zoned areas in the vicinity of Echo Road. There were also inconsistencies when reviewing the Town's zoning map.
