The 2022-2023 population <br /> would be more accurate, taking this year with a grain of salt. The 2010-2020 shift from <br /> population household sizes are getting smaller. Families are leaving the Cape and more homes <br /> are occupied year round because retired couples are purchasing homes here. It also shows an <br /> increase in number of households occupied in the summer season. Occupancy is 97-99% <br /> because there is little house supply. Mr. Lehrer is eager for updated census results. He is <br /> curious to see how bad things have gotten. <br /> Chairman Isbitz commented that with the SHI denominator change and there being no change <br /> from number of units that determine the 5.3%, nothing has happened since that calculation from <br /> December 2021. That includes the latest Habitat houses that are now occupied on Mendes <br /> Way. <br /> Mr. Lehrer stated the growth management bylaw limits to 90 permits being issued. They have <br /> seen roughly 75-90 building permits issued annually. With 90 permits issued over a 10 year <br /> period, that's 900 houses to change the denominator. <br /> Mr. Isbitz inquired about the 900 in New Seabury, which would take off a couple hundred, about <br /> 700. If you add 700 to 6,473, and 343/7,100 = 4.8%. We will drop .5% in our standing and it will <br /> be interesting to see what the other towns on the Cape will experience. Mashpee ranges in the <br /> middle among the 15 Cape towns. Hopefully we can see to it those units be built in Mashpee <br /> Commons. <br /> ADDITIONAL TOPICS <br /> Mr. Lehrer wanted to bring something to the attention of the Affordable Housing Committee. <br /> Back in 2010, the Planning Board approved a subdivision off of Quinaquisset Ave. in <br /> Willowbend that was subject to a Special Permit. It has since been modified to include a sixth <br /> building lot, and on the corner is a vacant existing duplex. The Planning Board asked <br /> Willowbend to facilitate the preservation and transportation of that structure off site for <br /> affordable housing purposes. The Board also requested that condition be included in the <br /> modification, if practical. This is an opportunity to utilize an existing structure, but where could it <br /> go. <br /> Mr. Isbitz is curious how much this would cost to relocate. <br /> Mr. Lehrer asked if the town held any tax title properties where this could be utilized and <br /> donated. They may have to rely on nonprofit partners like Habitat. If there is a feasible location <br /> identified, it needs to be discussed with the AHC, nonprofit partner, and the Select Board or <br /> Trust to designate a location, if on town owned property. There are a lot of logistics to make this <br /> 5 <br />
