16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, NassacFiusetts 02649 <br />studies at big intersections where the town would accept height and density. Some lots were pinpointed <br />throughout Falmouth, they have a bylaw for up to 3 stories, 25% affordable if rental and 50% if <br />ownership. It is not Chapter 40B, it's a local bylaw, so the developer doesn't have the burden of 406 <br />regulations. She thinks that would be good for Mashpee to look at. This Town became a brick and <br />mortar development late, she thinks there are some properties that are right for redevelopment. Some <br />underused commercial, other properties used for different things that are looking sad. A redevelopment <br />into affordable housing under a nice bylaw, coming from the Planning Board, might lower the impact on <br />the Town, with respect to environment and traffic. She instructed Mr. Isbitz to look at Town owned land <br />for the HPP and lots that can be redeveloped. <br />Mr. Isbitz stated there is a time to put it on the pipeline and a time to not, pipedreams realistic or not, he <br />would not put on the list until there was some act of consideration going on. <br />Ms. Waygan was thinking more for zoning initiatives. <br />Mr. Isbitz agreed from a zoning point of view, you need to take that possibility into account. We are <br />looking at more than Town own land, privately owned land, which of those are underutilized where the <br />owner may have an interest in upgrading, converting use, or selling. <br />Ms. Waygan found you can get the interest of the State and federal government when you have a <br />development that's 39 units or above, neighborhoods are receptive to affordable housing if they fit into <br />the character of the neighborhood. More than one unit per lot, but not something that would overwhelm. <br />Mr. Isbitz had some conversations with Habitat, may not necessarily put one house on a lot, and they <br />could realistically put a couple houses on a lot, like Mendes Way, and have a very satisfactory <br />environment for two families. Even though it doesn't meet minimum square footage threshold in zoning <br />ordinance, that's one area where he would encourage exploration. What is an incentive for a Habitat <br />program to get involved in sites that predate minimum one acre threshold? <br />Ms. Waygan noted there could be an affordable lots bylaw where some of those site requirements are <br />waived if you do an affordable unit. <br />Mr. Balzarini reiterated you could build four or five houses on a one acre lot very easily. <br />Ms. Waygan informed him there was gathering of the regulatory boards last week to discuss <br />wastewater. She lives off of Rt. 130, which has less sensitive environmental issues than other parts of <br />Town. That was another thought she had, if we are going to talk about height and density, we also have <br />to look at environmental impacts. Her neck of the woods, Rt. 130, would be a good place to put some of <br />that. She thanked the Affordable Housing Committee for coming tonight and presenting. <br />Mr. Fulone asked Mr. Lehrer, based on what was heard, if he had to wrap it up, what his takeaway <br />would be. <br />7 <br />
