Keep the point and flats open at Crowe's Pasture
To keep the point and flats open at Crowe's Pasture
Yes: Flanagan, Lambton, McCormick, TerrioNo: McMahon
From the minutes
“Mr. Lambton moved to keep the point and flats open at Crowe's Pasture; Mr. Terrio seconded. Ms. McMahon stated that she felt bad for the lost opportunity but this was not only ORV resource on Cape Cod. She believed as care takers of Crowes the priority was to preserve resources as long as we can. Driving vehicles on it in this condition is not doing that. If it was up to her she would close it but as a compromise she would support leaving flats open and close point. Mr. Flanagan wanted to be good stewards of land. Since they've decreased number of vehicles permitted does this reduce the impact. Ms. Johnson stated they were not reducing vehicles; they were still put 125 out there. The total has always remained same. With cars on flats, the biggest problem was people not coming in with tide or driving on private property. The Point has largest resource impact due to fires, driving on dunes, etc. The Board voted: Mr. Terrio "aye"; Ms. McMahon "no', Mr. MeCormick "aye", Mr. Lambton "aye" and Mr. Flanagan "aye".” (Motion: Lambton, second: Terrio)
