Community Preservation Committee Minutes December 2, 2021 Catherine Laurent Application: Multi -Purpose Track & Field Stadium Renovation: $1,709,400 (continued) The new multi -purpose track and field stadium would allow for community access, especially during the summer months. The facility does not allow public access during school hours and school use activities. When not in use, the facility is available for public use. A new facility may create a demand for youth groups and rentals. Mashpee youth groups are not charged for use of facilities, but costs may be incurred for field lighting and/or portable restrooms. There is no third party or private entity considered as an additional funding source at this time. When asked of additional funding sources it was disclosed that synthetic turf cannot be funded through any alternate resource of the School Department in the State of Massachusetts. Evan Lehrer Application: Housing Production Plan Update: $25,000 Evan Lehrer, the Town Planner was in attendance to review the application submitted by the Mashpee Planning Board to support the update of the Town's Housing Production Plan (HPP) The amount of CPA funding requested is $25,000. The total cost of the proposed project is $50,000, Correspondence was received from John Fulone, Chair of the Planning Board dated November 17, 2021 in support of this project. Mr. Lehrer indicated that an additional letter of support is anticipated from the Town's Affordable Housing Committee. It was explained the 2015 Housing Production Plan expired in 2020. Due to the lack of availability of the most recent census figures the plan was not updated in a timely manner. The plan lays out the framework to meet the Subsidized Housing Inventory mandate to maintain 10% of the Town's housing stock as affordable. The primary goal of this project is to update the HPP in consideration of the demographic shifts over the past 10 years, changes in population, added housing stock since 2010 and vision work to be conducted during Phase I of the Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) that has not been updated since 1998. The document is intended to support "the creation, preservation, and support of community housing" in consideration of existing conditions and future needs as well as community interests. To offset costs, the Planning Department intends to submit an application to the Cape Cod Commission to secure District Local Technical Assistance Funds (DLTA) in the amount of $25,000. Applications for these funds are expected to be made available in early 2022.
