It was noted <br /> this property is reduced in developable acreage by wetlands and power lines. <br /> With sound <br /> ,lannin the two parcels were recommended for housing development. <br /> P g <br /> Planning Board member Dennis Balzarini indicated it may not be wise to design a product if 70- <br /> 80% of the buyers are in the 55+ age group as the Town needs workforce housing for the average <br /> income/blue collar worker. <br /> Mary Yg wa an, Chair of the Planning Board stated that workforce housing is below 120% <br /> income and it is not seasonal housing. It is possible to petition for legislation to modify the law <br /> to allow workforce units to be considered as subsidized housing.
