8 Community Preservation Committee Minutes December 6, 2018 NEW BUSINESS Applicant: Christine Marano Proposed Title: 12 Cypress Circle Acquisition: TBD: CPC member Chad Smith stepped down for the above discussion noting he serves as an elected officer of the Mashpee Rod& Gun Club, an abutter of the subject property. Due to traveling difficulties Christine Marano of Peabody, MA was unable to attend the meeting. Evan Lehrer, Town Planner was present to review the project proposal with the Community Preservation Committee, The subject 1.2 acre parcel as shown on Mashpee Assessors maps as Map 21, Block 33 is currently assessed at$102,900. There are no structures on the parcel which lies in a Zone 11 Ground Water Recharge Area. The parcel was created as a"Reserved Recreation and Green.Area" with no lot number for a three year period subject to review within the three year period to determine the actual use of the designed area in 1972. The minimum lot size in the R-5 zoning district is 80,000 square feet. However, in accordance with the Town Planner's recommendation in 2004, the lot appears to be "grandfathered" under the provisions of MGL, Chapter 40A, Section 6 as well as Mashpee's zoning bylaw, and is not subject to the current 80,000 square foot minimum lot size. Current zoning requires 150' of road frontage. The lot has more than 150' of frontage on both sides; Cypress Circle and Fox Hill Road. Mr. Lehrer respectfully requested the CPC consider this project for affordable housing. With a denitrification system, a duplex is considered for two families. It was noted the roads are paved, but are in need of improvement and drainage work. Discussion followed with regards to an appraisal of value for the subject property. It was disclosed the CPC previously voted to request the cost of appraisals be assumed by the applicant. Due to the nature of this application it was agreed appraisals would be considered on a case by case basis. The CPC moved forward as follows; Motion made by Mr. Harsch to authorize a real estate appraisal of 12 Cypress Circle with funding to derive from the Operating & Expense Budget of the CPC.
