The state legislature <br /> feels it is important state wide to meet the goal of 10%. Factoring in the seasonal housing <br /> contributes to the problem. The graph should start with resident needs and bring out facts and <br /> figures available to support that need. If you only start with what you think the need is, and bring out <br /> figures that support, you may be prejudicing the outcome and ignoring a more objective look. <br /> Ms. Wells clarified existing conditions being a welling of existing data. The needs come out of <br /> surveys and meeting with the Housing Committee and the comprehensive plan at a high level. <br /> Housing, land, and value of land is pulled out of it. <br /> Mr. Isbitz suggested to start out with existing conditions and put needs in a separate section so it is <br /> not lost on everyone. No one will pay attention to the figures and start with conclusions. Accumulate <br /> data to see what supports that and look at the data that doesn't support it, it is not necessarily <br /> wrong. If you do have data that is disturbingly different, then ask if the vision is right. Data follows <br /> the need. <br /> Ms. Wells noted the data can be misleading. As consultants, they have to fact and data find. It is not <br /> where they stop. <br /> Chairman Isbitz specified when you try to mix figures that don't relate, like 40B and 3.3% including <br /> seasonal housing, you get wrong facts. When you start to talk about what's on the SHI, it's not <br /> official and doesn't correlate with what DHCD publishes on their website. The figure on the SHI is <br /> 323 while the real figure is 343. The affordability gap and AMI represents a degree of the gap. If you <br /> look at the AMI in 2010 and how much it has changed over time, that might correlate to the amount <br /> of seasonal and retiree homes, which correlates with the pressures Mashpee is feeling. There are <br /> contextual problems in the draft. <br /> Ms. Wells stated the data provides background for a lot of material, not the plans and not the <br /> chapter. They did not discuss partnerships or regional entities as sources of financing. <br /> Mr. Isbitz encouraged her to broaden the list of agencies and include all four levels of government; <br /> federal, regional, state, and municipal. Affordable housing has always been about partnerships. It <br /> involved the private and public community. Finding the tools to do that is important part of this <br /> document. <br /> Ms. Baier knows the Cape Cod Commission put out a study that interviewed a bunch of people who <br /> moved here recently during COVID. Of those surveyed, 67% work on Cape but live off Cape full <br /> time. She is curious if that factors into this conversation. How can we gather that information and <br /> the impacts here in Mashpee? <br /> Ms. Pina stated the income of that group was incorrect, stating the AMI as$500,000. <br /> Mr. Lehrer did provide them with the report. All the projections and trends that were thought to <br /> happen later happened right away. The reality is, this is not going to change without substantial <br /> intervention. <br /> 8 <br />
