Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes 1 September 22, 2004 TOWN OF MASHPEE Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes—Wednesday, September 22, 2004 The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals held Public Hearings on Wednesday, September 22, 2004 at 7:00 P.M. at the Mashpee Town Hall. Board Members James Regan, Robert Nelson, Zella Elizenberry, Richard Guerrera and Marshall Brem were present. Alternate Frederick Borgeson was also present. Chairman James Regan is not sitting on Southside Realty Trust and therefore asked Mr. Nelson to open the meeting for this evening. He will rejoin the board after the hearing is completed. Mr. Nelson brought the meeting to order at 7:00 Southside Realty Trust: Requests a Major Modification to the Comprehensive Special Permit under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40B granted May 5, 2004 for the Main Street Village Project. The modification will consist of the addition of 2 quadplex units and corresponding garage units, one on lot#9 and one on lot #10 located in a C-2 and R-5 zoning district at 334 Main Street (Route 130) (Map 36 Parcel 47) Mashpee, MA. Owner: SM Realty Trust , John and Gaile McShane Trustees. Sitting: Robert Nelson, Marshall Brem, Richard Guerrera, Zella Elizenberry, and Frederick Borgeson. James Regan stepped down from this hearing. Town Attorney Jason Talerman is present for the Modification of the Comprehensive Special Permit that was granted for the McShane Chapter 40B project that is slated to begin shortly. They have petitioned for 8 additional units and are represented by Attorney Kevin Kirrane. Matt Teague, Project Manager.is also present. It was always the intention of petitioner to have a total of 24 units at this property. However, due to some procedural situations with Mass Housing and the fact the several town officials were in litigation with the previous owner of this property, it was decided that petitioner would reduce his request to 16 units and file for the additional 8 units as soon as the situation allowed itself. The Board and Mr. Kirrane review all of the paperwork and the new locations of where these additional units will be placed. They discuss the total number of affordable units, the moderately affordable and the market rate homes. Nothing will change with respect to those provisions except an increase of available units to residents. There will be 6 units of"affordable' houses whereby the applicant can earn no more than 80% of the median income, 4 units of"moderately affordable' houses whereby applicants can earn no more than 120% of the median income and 14 market rate homes. The board questions how they will target Mashpee residents and if they can do that. Attorney Talerman informs them that they can commit up to 70% of affordable to the Mashpee residents and there is a portion of the decision that specifically deals with that.
