As an abutter Ms. Waygan indicated there are no conceptual plans. It was recommended the Select Board consider the appearance of this project. Projects that fail under the Chapter 40B comprehensive permit give a town very little control of the site and of architectural standards. Ms. Waygan indicated there is preference for Cape Cod style architecture with superior landscape. It was noted the affordable housing project was initially considered at the site location for 9 bedrooms. With approval of nitrogen aggregation credit, a 32-bedroom concept is being considered for this affordable housing project. Chapter 40B projects are required to maintain a minimum of 25% affordability. It is hopeful the developer would consider earmarking an additional 25% of the proposed 32-bedroom units as workforce housing for those in the 80-120% AMI range and/or give consideration to those who work in the Town of Mashpee. Maintaining vegetative buffers are also of importance. In closing Ms. Waygan indicated the proposal involves Town owned land, and a vote of Town Meeting may be required on the designated use of this property.
