f <br /> t <br /> location, it has since been re-designed to feature a more Cape Cod look and feel, in coordination <br /> with the other two buildings. Mr. Quinn noted that the design was intended to create a livable <br /> community that would fit the neighborhood. The 2-story building would feature 12 units, the 3- <br /> story building would hold 23 units and the townhouses would have 4 units, including an ADA <br /> unit. Parking would be located at the back, and adjustments would be made to remain outside of <br /> the buffer, based on consultation with the Conservation Department related to necessary <br /> wetlands adjustments. <br /> The Chair inquired about the Community Room for residents, a concern expressed by the <br /> Committee earlier in the process. Mr. Quinn confirmed that a Community Room had been added <br /> and further discussion regarding the details could occur at a future time. <br /> Mr. Quinn noted that screening and a buffer would be provided for abutters, depending upon <br /> clearing needs. The intent would be to maintain as much natural buffer as possible and/or plant <br /> as necessary to create a buffer. Finishes and colors for the structures had not yet been selected. <br /> Committee members were pleased with the redesign of the architectural features. <br /> Mr. Lehrer stated that engagement with abutters was promising and he appreciated the <br /> developer's collaboration with the Town early in the spring and looked forward to moving <br /> through the permitting process with them. <br /> Mashpee Commons, Chapter 40B Project Occupancy Status-Tom Ferronti was <br /> participating in the meeting to discuss Mashpee Commons' Chapter 40B project,permitted in <br /> 2006/2007 by the ZBA. Initial permitting was for a total of 382 units, 96 of which would be <br /> deeded affordable. Due to the complexity of the project, it had been broken into phasing. In <br /> 2013/20014, 52 units of Phase lA were permitted and consisted of 8 buildings on Market Street. <br /> At this point, 32 of the 52 rental units have been constructed and added to the Town's SHI, and 8 <br /> had been deeded affordable. All 8 units were occupied until recently, when one renter relocated. <br /> The Mashpee Commons' monitoring agent was in the process of identifying a new renter. The 7 <br /> affordable rental units now consisted of two people from Mashpee and the remaining from <br /> surrounding towns. Three residents work in Mashpee or Falmouth and the remaining were <br /> retired. Overall, Mr. Ferronti reported that 1/3rd of Mashpee Commons' residents were age 0-39, <br /> another 1/3`d was age 40-60 and the final 1/3`d was 60+. Mr. Ferronti noted that the goal of <br /> Mashpee Commons was to create a community that was open to age diversity. An additional <br /> building was planned to house an additional 10 units, but with the Pandemic, capital <br /> expenditures had been placed on hold. Mr. Ferronti stated that there was a commitment on <br /> behalf of Mashpee Commons to providing affordable housing, adding that in depth community <br /> engagement revealed housing, work force housing and affordable housing as key issues. Mr. <br /> Ferronti confirmed that Mashpee Commons had recently submitted a Notice of Intent to the Cape <br /> Cod Commission to enter into a Development Agreement. Mr. Ferronti stated that he would be <br /> happy to return at any time to provide updates to the Committee. <br /> Mr. Lehrer confirmed that he was in contact with Mashpee Commons as they were working <br /> through the Development Agreement process with the Town and the Cape Cod Commission. <br /> 3 <br />
