Mashpee Zoning Minutes—May 22, 2002 11 Board of Appeals construct the buildings so that they do not "look like they are towering" over Route 130. Ms. Elizenberry said that the Town is in dire need of affordable housing. Mr. Govoni commented that there is another 40B comprehensive permit being proposed in Town. Ms. Elizenberry encouraged the Board to work with these Petitioners, most of whom are very willing to cooperate with the Town boards and committees to ensure success. Mr. Govoni said that the Petitioner said that the project would only provide a portion, 25%, of the units as affordable. Ms. Elizenberry said that state law requires that the affordable units must look like the other units that would be rented at current market price. Mr. Borgeson said that he is in favor of affordable housing, but expressed concern with the location of the buildings on Route 130. He said that the increase in traffic would have cars backed up at the lights at the intersection. Mr. Wheeler stated that the ZBA has the authority to condition the proposal. Mr. Govoni repeated that the proposal "looks like a state hospital". Mr. Govoni asked Mr. Wheeler to arrange a meeting for someone from Kopelman & Paige to meet with the ZBA on the 40B proposals. The Board requested that the meeting take place in late afternoon sometime in June. MEETING TIME Mr. Govoni moved to change the meeting time to 7:00 p.m. Mr. Borgeson seconded.
