l <br /> that affordable unit homeowners would likely pay a percentage of the fee. There was also <br /> discussion about creating a reserve fund for capital expenses and about insuring that the total <br /> housing burden be subject to a 30% of income limitation. Ms. Stone noted that HAC had funds <br /> and programs to assist with affordable housing. <br /> Committee members were in agreement about endorsing the project but expressed concern <br /> regarding the need for specific details about the total housing costs, including utilities, for the <br /> affordable units. Mr. Tuttle pointed out that the project would meet Town and State guidelines <br /> for affordable housing. Mr. Tuttle requested a letter of support from the Committee to be <br /> included in their packet to the Board of Selectmen. The letter should be sent to South Side <br /> Realty,P.O. Box 429, Osterville, MA 02655. <br /> Mr.Abbot made a motion to send a letter to South Side Realty Trust stating that the <br /> Affordable Housing Committee is in support of the preliminary review of Main Street <br /> Village Phase II 40B Comprehensive Permit Application. Ms. Stone seconded the motion. <br /> All voted unanimously. <br /> Mashpee Commons Chapter 40B Project-A schedule of public meetings has been released by <br /> Mashpee Commons. Mashpee Commons will be meeting with the Board of Selectmen on <br /> October 30. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> 950 Falmouth Road Feasibility Study, Progress Report-Brian Kuchar, Horsley Witten, <br /> provided the Phase I Feasibility Study background which identified what was critical, and <br /> particularly whether or not it would warrant an advanced study. Three separate parcels had been <br /> identified as Parcel A(2.49 acres),Parcel B (3.26 acres) and Parcel C (7 acres). Parcel C, <br /> located in the groundwater protection overlay district and Habitat protection, added constraints to <br /> the site. The site was also located in a nitrogen sensitive zone, making it subject to the 440 rule <br /> or 500 with an IIA system. It was expected that Parcel C would be utilized for restrictions since <br /> it was the furthest parcel with an odd shape. The other parcels abut more dense neighboring <br /> areas. Water flows had been calculated and potential water connections discussed. Finally,the <br /> phase I report determined that the site warranted additional study. <br /> For the second phase of the study, conceptual site designs would be considered and Mr. Kuchar <br /> noted that a single building would be the most efficient option to maximize affordable housing <br /> units on 3.5 acres of buildable area. Under a single building concept one lot would be utilized <br /> for the building while the other lot would be used for wastewater and parking. If building only <br /> two-bedroom units,the site would allow for 31 units at 110 gallons per day. Age restricted <br /> housing(55+)would allow for 46 units (150 gallons per day). An example of a mixed unit type <br /> approach could be 20 two-bedroom units and 23 one-bedroom units for a total of 43 units. A <br /> total of 6,980 gallons per day for wastewater flow would be allowed for the site at 550 gallons <br /> per day, per acre. <br /> Mr. Abbott noted that some developers used a cut off of 50 units to consider a project and <br /> inquired whether the combination of Old Barnstable and Falmouth Road would appeal to <br /> developers. Mr. Kuchar stated that wastewater would be the limiting factor at this site. <br /> 2 <br />
