d. 31 "live/work" townhouses (i.e. townhouses with first floor commercial spaces— 1-4 bedrooms apiece); e. 32 loft-style condominiums (1-4 bedrooms apiece, plus an optional den which, per a deed restriction, shall not serve as a bedroom); f. 261oft-style condominiums in buildings that contain commercial spaces on the first floor (1-4 bedrooms apiece, plus an optional den which, per a deed restriction, shall not serve as a bedroom); g. 20 "patio home" (garden style) apartments (1 bedroom apiece); h. 32 apartment units in 5 buildings (1-2 bedrooms apiece). 6. Each building and each townhouse is proposed to be on its own separate lot, provided that the Applicant may choose a condominium form of ownership for the townhouses or other attached units that, on the Plans, are presently on a separate lot. 7. The total amount of proposed commercial space is estimated to be 40,900 square feet. 8. The architectural variations are generally described in the Town Book and the Architectural Code submitted by the Applicant. While the exact design of each of the units (especially the single family and townhouse homes) is not yet certain, each design is proposed to be consistent with the designs shown in the Town Book as well as the supplementary materials provided to the Board, including the Architectural Code attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Applicant proposes that the final designs shall be subject to the processes and limitations described in the Job's & Whiting's Design Review Process (attached hereto as Exhibit B), which provides for various layers of oversight and approval of building designs. As described in Exhibit B, local officials will be included in the approval process for designs of the structures. 9. The project will be served by Job's Fishing Road, which provides access/egress to/from Routes 28 and 151. The project will also have another direct access/egress point (Meeting Street) on Route 151 as well as several indirect access points to Routes 151 and 28 via the internal road system in the existing Mashpee Commons commercial development. The Meeting Street access is limited to right turns into the project and right turns out of the project. Internally, the project will be served by a variety of roads providing for primary vehicular circulation as well as a series of secondary"lanes"that will provide for access to the rear of units (so as to reduce the visibility of parking and garages). In response to concerns expressed by the Board, its engineer and the Fire Chief, several roads were widened, as shown on the Plans. Additionally, as shown on the Plans, several intersections were reconfigured so as to avoid traffic conflicts. 10. In a further effort to mitigate traffic concerns, the Applicant has included a variety of sidewalks and pedestrian lanes. final permit 4
