REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION HousingAssistance Corporation: Requests a Second Modification to an existing Comprehensive Permit CP -2010-29 on property located in an R-5 zoning district at 570 Old Barnstable Road (Map 72 Parcel 100) Mashpee, MA. At the August 22, 2012 Public Hearings, the ZBA voted to grant a Modification to the 2010 Comprehensive Permit. Sitting: Board Members Jonathan D. Furbush, William A. Blaisdell, and Ronald S. Bonvie, and Associate Members John M. Dorsey and Domingo K. DeBarros. Attorney Andrew Singer represented the Petition along with Ms. Adrienne Danner from the Housing Assistance Corporation. Attorney Singer stated that this request for Modification to the Comprehensive Permit will satisfy legal requirements of Mass Housing. The revised sketch plan of the property clarifies the separation between the existing Breezy Acres development in the front and the Great Cove Community development in the back of the property. There are no changes in the development plans. Attorney Singer said that in the previous language, in the event of a foreclosure, an alternative calculation of 20% of the units at the 50% level could remain affordable. In order to meet Chapter 40B requirements, only a minimum of 25% at the 80% level is required. In view of the fact that the Housing Assistance Corporation is providing for more than 25%, Mass Housing is requiring that language in the Decision reflect the minimum requirements in case of foreclosure.
