Mashpee Planning Board Special Meeting
The board reviewed and updated their draft local comprehensive plan, focusing on open space, recreational opportunities, and wastewater infrastructure implementation. Key discussions involved the goal of designating 50% of remaining undeveloped land as open space, and the necessity of balancing this with wastewater treatment requirements, particularly given the town's classification as a nitrogen-sensitive area. Members discussed the need to include specific wastewater planning, infrastructure construction, and nitrogen sensitivity data within the natural resources chapter, while addressing feedback from earlier consultations regarding land usage conflicts.
