Seconded by Rob Hansen. All in favor. 7:45PM Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) July 2026 version of the Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP)for the Town of Mashpee will be voted on by the Planning Board at a dually noticed Public Hearing at the Mashpee Town Hall, Waquoit Meeting Room, 16 Great Neck Road North, Mashpee, MA 02649, at 7:45PM on July 1, 2026. Ms. Waygan read the Public Hearing notice into the record. The Town Planner, Brian Tobin, congratulated the Board, the public, and the Department for all the hard work on this journey, organization, attention to detail, and overall, a great job. The most recent updated version corrected formatting errors, and some of the largest changes were additions to the appendix. This included survey summaries for themes of the plan, a prior Heritage Preservation Chapter from the 1998 LCP, comments this Board deliberated on about the Growth Policy statement, and just making sure everything flowed nicely with factual accuracy. Ms. Waygan noted there were some comments about the housing organizations and asked if those were added. Mr. Tobin continued that it was important for this Board to be aware that Lynne Barbee did submit suggested changes that he made departmentally, as they do not involve policy and therefore would not implicate the Board. Instead, the changes purely involve factual accuracy, regarding the role of the Mashpee Housing Authority and also the chart of properties under their purview. Ms. Waygan did have one comment about reviewing the Flow Neutral Bylaw and the Tree Preservation Bylaw as needed and asked if that was input. Mr. Tobin did not add that because, 1) it speaks to policy and should have been discussed at a public meeting among Board members, and 2) the request was located far down in her e-mail 9
