r Mashpee Planning To: Zoning Board of Appeals, Flan Review Committee Fr1:Town Planner F. Thomas Fudl CC: Planning Board Date: 11-2 8-0 Review and Comment, " as p e Woods 4013" The documents provided for review included a "PreliminarySite Plan"and building elevations s and floor plans. No information has been provided regarding project impacts e.g. wastewater and traffic generation. As a result, a complete reviewof the proposal is notpossible, at this i time. Comments are only on the conceptual site design CONSISTENCY W TH LOCAL PLANS The site is located off Route 130 (Iain Street) at the rear of a 48 acre parcelp rirnarii zoned I-I Industrial. . In addition to its I-1 zoning, the site is within the Congressionally-designated bou dales of the lashpee National Wildlife Refuge. As a result, the pian is not consistent with the Local Comprehensive Plan adopted by Torn Meeting and certified by the Cape Cod Commission in 1998. The site is, however, identified in the inventory of potental sites for affordable housing and the planned pro u on ,.Potential 40B Inventory"listed in the Town's February 2005"Affordable Housing Planned Pr-odu onI �an submitted for approval by DHCD. SITE PLAN The project's residential development area is described as 8 acres, although an adjacent 19.1 acres is proposed to be recreation and open space land. There is no descn*ption of ghat is meant b "re ►t y reati � . The density on the -acre development site is 15 units per acre. Including the open space, overall density would be 4.43 units per acre, slightly higher than the Town's usual preferred maximum o density of 4 units per acre. As the project's commercial and industrial rots will require review by the Cape Cod Commission as a Development ofegignal Impact, it is likely that all of the open space will be required to meet the Commission's-open space requirements for those non- residential lots. The configuration of the project access includes a large circle, which appears to be unnecessary. Two access points to the residential project are provided -from the circle, which is also shorn as having two other road connections, one to Route 130 over industrial and commercial land owned b the developer, the other to Echo Road crossing industrial -land owned by Pamela Gang emi. No evidence is provided that rights have been secured to construct the access to Echo road, which will be critical to avoid providing life safety access to this large residential project via a lengthy dead-end. The Cangemi property was recently the subject of a jurisdictional hearing at the Cape Cod Commission, which determined that a proposed 9 lot.,Approval Not Required" plan of the Gangem! property, not showing the rad connection to this 40B project, would not be subject to review by the Commission as.a Development of Regional ional Impact.
