MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 24, 2016 Building 42 is another modular building and was set back in July. This building has six units, and one commercial tenant on the first floor. There is one affordable unit in this building. The interior work is moving, and the exterior materials should be in by the end of August, early September. In conjunction with these buildings, there is also the infrastructure to support the buildings such as the parking, sidewalks, etc. After Labor Day when there is better access on Market Street, there should be activity to get the parking, sidewalks and roads in place for all three buildings. The occupancy is scheduled for late fall or early winter, so by the end of 2016 there should be twenty two (22) units of which five are affordable that will be occupied. In 2017, the next two buildings that they are focusing on are buildings 43 and 46. Building 43 is another modular building, and 46 is a "stick -built" building. There is no start date yet for these buildings, but will be the next upcoming projects. The foundations are not installed. The foundations for the modular buildings, 43, 44, 45, and 47, are in the beginning design stages. Building 46 is another "stick -built", and will require a permit from start to finish. There was a Mass Works time frame that was awarded for the construction of Market Street. There was also an extension approved by the State through June 30, 2017. The final letter of approval delayed the start, and rather than installing a finished road, finished curb, and sidewalks while tweaking designs, the State agreed that it made more sense to wait until there was more in place with the buildings, than ripping up a brand new road. There's a building behind the florist that is outside of the 40B permit, and is part of the 1986 Mashpee Commons Special Permit. There's four commercial spaces on the first floor, and five apartments on the second floor. Building 40, 41 and 42 all have commercial space on the ground floor. Building 40 has about 2300 sq. ft., Building 41 has four smaller spaces, 750 sq. ft., and 42 has about 2200 sq. ft. for that commercial space. There's one tenant that is taking over the entire commercial space in building 42. There is nothing lined up yet for building 40 or 41. But once they start to take shape, it will help people to visualize what things will look like. Mr. Gould is concerned with the delivery trucks blocking the road ways for other vehicles and pedestrians. Mr. Feronti said it's difficult to "police" this activity on a daily basis and has addressed it with the drivers and tenants. Mr. Feronti stated the affordable housing lottery process started early in the year working with the SEB consultant in conjunction with the office. They have a screening and qualification process that individuals have to go through, and then they meet with Mashpee Commons for another qualification process. The five affordable units are already leased and some people have already reserved for the future units. They have gone through the screening process and are willing to wait until those units are ready. The percentage of affordable units is 25% of each sub -phase. All 52 units are rentals for Phase 1A. Some future units will eventually be for sale. 3
