Town of Mashpee Conservation Commission 16 Great Neck Road North Mashpee, MA 02649 Communication/ Correspondence: (Public Comment solicited for each update) Not discussed Additional Topics • Gunter's Lane/Cluster Treatment Plant The discussion focused on the status and potential conservation of the Gunter's Lane parcel. Multiple speakers expressed interest in placing this item on a future agenda to allow for public comment and to clarify the Conservation Commission's ability to influence the outcome of a proposed cluster treatment plant. It was confirmed that the parcel is not part of ConComm Land and is currently a Select Board-owned property. A five-year plan drafted roughly 10-15 years ago had recommended transferring the parcel to the Conservation Commission with a conservation restriction, but this transfer never occurred. Other properties in town included in that plan were successfully transferred, but Gunter's Lane was not. The Commission does not control the land, so any CR or transfer would require Select Board approval. At present, there is no CR on the property, and its current use may include consideration for the cluster treatment plan. It was suggested that a future agenda item could include an update from Selectman Wheeden, the current liaison, or from the Sewer Director regarding the parcel's status, though no commitments could be made on the Select Board's actions. • NIMBA/Bike Trail Commissioners decided to defer discussion to another meeting for internal review and to respond formally to the requester.
