of TMs s,s <br /> z. <br /> Aannin Board <br /> c� <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> .wlashpee, Aassachusetts 02649 <br /> Action OS2 should read, "increase signage and wayfinding for trails, ancient ways, and water <br /> ways with names to lakes, ponds, and rivers to promote use by residents and visitors, as well <br /> as educating the public, abutters, school students, and local businesses about ancient ways." <br /> Mr. Balzarini added to show a map of ancient ways at Town Hall and the Library with a GIS <br /> overlay, in coordination with the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. <br /> Ms. Waygan stated this should be cross checked with the current Open Space and Recreation <br /> Plan, as it has a piece that would help fill in the Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge. There is a <br /> chart that shows parcels and how it completes the Refuge. The boundary was set by an Act of <br /> Congress, so not all the land is open space, some is privately owned. When those parcels <br /> come up for sale, it is in our action plan to pursue the acquisition of those parcels. <br /> Mr. Milbury suggested letting these entities know the Town is interested in these parcels. If you <br /> are selling your property and you know that someone is interested, and you don't have to hire <br /> a real estate agent, and go through the entire process, you get the appraised value, it's a great <br /> deal <br /> Mr. Tobin agreed and noted an action item should be added to acquire parcels that are within <br /> the acquisition boundary of the NWR and are not presently a part of it. He thinks the NWR <br /> should be beefed up in general, and this is a great discussion, the Friends of the NWR have a <br /> boundary map with recently acquired parcels. We took efforts to expand on that with the extra <br /> conditions of the Osprey Court Cluster Subdivision, that added to that boundary with the open <br /> space. <br /> Ms. Waygan noted OS5 mentions the acquisition boundary of the National Wildlife Refuge. It <br /> states to identify and work to acquire any parcels of conservation interests identified as priority <br /> acquisitions in both the 1998 LCP and 2007 Open Space Plan, that remain unprotect, <br /> particularly in recharge areas, identify as rare species habitat, estimated in priority habitat map <br /> from MA Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program and/or the acquisition boundary <br /> of the Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge. The Chair would like to enclose those documents as <br /> an appendix. <br /> 3 <br />
