The site is identified as 31 Ashumet Road and 474 Main Street, <br /> Mashpee. <br /> The Community Preservation Committee was noted to have approved the initial application.of the AHT in the <br /> amount of$300,,000. The additional funding request of$250,000 would be adequate to acquire the parcel which <br /> is pending due diligence on existing site conditions as well as an.appraisai. The total CPA funding request would <br /> thus be $550,,000, Amending the request does not compel the Trust to proceed with the acquisition if the property <br /> is not advantageous to fulfill the Town.'s affordable housing goals. If the Trust determines that it is feasible to <br /> move forward with this project,the funds would be readily available for this pwpose. <br /> Mr. Lehrer indicated the property is well suited to develop as a small affordable housing project with 10 bedroom <br /> units with-out any intervention.pending clearance of existing conditions that need to be further evaluated. The site <br /> consists of stumps, logs, rocks and other fill material related to construction debris. <br /> If the project is supported the Town would move forward with soil sampling to determine the extent of the <br /> contarnination. The Town has the capacity to do the analysis in-house under the direction of the DPW and Board <br /> of Health. A Request for Interest for potential developers would also be issued. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Sherman to modify the applicatIon.to the Community Preservation Committee <br /> from $300,000 to $550,000. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman O'Hara. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 9-0. <br /> Roll Call Vote. <br /> Selectman Weeden,yes Selectman Cotton, yes Selectman O'Hara,yes <br /> Selectman Sherman, yes Selectman Wyman.-Colombo, yes <br /> Mr. Thompson,yes Mr.McKelvey, yes Ms. Isbitz,yes <br /> Mr. Klein,, yes Opposed, none <br />
