• Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes May 16, 2006 Jobs & Whitings Residential Neighborhoods Affordable and Unit Plans: With respect to Senior Patio Housing, it was noted the proposal is not intended to be age restricted. It was amended to read: Seniors and Young Singles Patio Housing. The housing is intended to be geared toward age population and those with a strong spiritual connection to the church. Discussion followed with respect to phasing and the four-phase scenario as presented. It was noted that the plan reflects more diversity of units in a logical and simplified manner. Phasing is intended to maintain a degree of flexibility to reflect the desire of the ZBA board, market conditions and to balance the number of units without overloading the infrastructure. It was suggested that Phase I contain a "break" to the area south of Homeyer Village. It was agreed to consider Phase I as Phase I and IA respectively. • As previously noted, a matrix will be presented to the committee prior to the next scheduled meeting to breakdown each type of unit, and number of affordable units proposed. The committee agreed that a separate meeting might be required to review the zoning ordinance and related waivers. The majority of the waivers' shown as `B" are to be considered as "blanket" waivers. The letter "S" denotes "specific" waivers. It was noted that two waivers, 174-9 and 174- 25 can be eliminated as they do not pertain to the district. The waivers are highlighted in the listed sections for ease of distinction. Tom Fudala, the Town Planner was in attendance and discussed matters pertaining to the use of Colchester Lane as a connector road between Deer Crossing and Mashpee Commons. Mr. Fudala distributed information relative to the Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) adopted in 1998 regarding transportation. It was noted the LCP was adopted by a vote of Town Meeting and it is the most current plan in effect for the Town of Mashpee. The connector road of discussion was previously referred to as Seapit Way. Mr. Fudala voiced support towards multiple connections to alleviate traffic from the main roads and the ease to travel to adjacent properties with these • types of connection. Mr. Fudala indicated that Colchester Lane should be a connector road in accordance with the LCP plan.
