Mr. Kuchar stated that Horsley Witten would be providing three options, in matrix form, in an <br /> attempt to maximize the number of units based on the 6,980 gpd flow. Mr. Kuchar added that, <br /> during the RFP process, developers would be offering their project ideas based on the limiting <br /> factor of wastewater. <br /> Mr. Abbott stated his preference to consider workforce housing, which would not be age <br /> restricted, while offering a mix of one and two-bedrooms. Mr. Kuchar stated that a final design <br /> would not be determined as developers would be seeking flexibility, but Horsley Witten would <br /> provide its three concepts with associated unit types and_square footage options. The Chair <br /> agreed that the process should allow developers to share their ideas. Ms. Stone suggested taking <br /> a look at the demographics of the Town's needs. <br /> Mr. Kuchar asked if there was anything specific to avoid or consider. The Chair stated that the <br /> ultimate goal was to achieve as many units as possible to move toward the 10% goal of the Town <br /> while also seeking to meet the Town's needs, including particularly providing <br /> workforce/working family rental housing. It was noted that age restricted would maximize the <br /> number of units, while including three bedroom units would reduce the number of units possible <br /> because of the wastewater limit. It was anticipated that a single three-story single building <br /> would be most efficient because it would use the least amount of lot coverage, but two buildings <br /> could be considered. Although it could be considered, it was likely that cottage housing would <br /> not maximize the space. Mr. Kuchar suggested developing three concepts, single building, two <br /> buildings and multiple building scenarios. Mr. Kuchar also emphasized that an RFP would <br /> attract developers who may submit their own concepts. The Chair agreed and expressed his <br /> concern that the square footage assumptions for unit types be clearly stated in the study report. It <br /> was noted that under the existing zoning two spaces per unit would be needed for parking. Mr. <br /> Kuchar confirmed that he would develop a matrix but indicated that a plan with all three- <br /> bedrooms would result in 21 units versus all one-bedroom units which would result in 63 units. <br /> Mr. Taylor stated that in kind services were provided by Mashpee's DPW for the perk test. Mr. <br /> Taylor also noted that concerns expressed by South Cape Resorts had been addressed. <br /> There was discussion about a joint meeting with the Board of Selectmen to discuss the final <br /> report and the Chair suggested a joint meeting with the Affordable Housing Trust at the end of <br /> October or beginning of November. Mr. Kuchar suggested a meeting with the Affordable <br /> Housing Committee to discuss comments then present the information to the Trust in December, <br /> along with AHC recommendations. The dates December 4, 5 and 11 were considered. Mr. <br /> Taylor confirmed that he would serve as a point of contact for Mr. Kuchar. <br /> Status Report on Land Transfer to Affordable Housing Trust-Mr. Taylor reported <br /> that the Trust needed to sign off to officially accept the land. <br /> Main Street Village,37 Center Street-Mr. Taylor reported that he had not yet spoken to <br /> Town Counsel but that the issue was proceeding to court. <br /> 3 <br />
