MEMO <br /> To- The Honorable Board of Selectman <br /> From: Evan Lehrer,Town Planner <br /> Date: February 19, 2020 <br /> Re: Summer Population Projections for July 10, 2020 <br /> Executive Summary, <br /> I have calculated that there will be an estimated population of 35,736 persons in Mashpee at the peak <br /> of the summer season. <br /> In generating this population estimate, I checked my calculations from the 2019 population estimate <br /> and noticed an error calculating the total number total occupied summer h 0 using units. This error <br /> resulted in the, estimate for occupants of seasonal dwellings being approximately 281 people less than it <br /> should have been, thus last year's estimate of 35,278 would have been more accurately represented at <br /> a value of 3,5,590. <br /> While this year's estimate shows an increase of around 458, people as compared to the figures from <br /> 2019, it would be more accurate to say the increase was not as significant when accounting for the 2019 <br /> error.Taking this into consideration,there is a marginal increase expected for peak season 2020 of <br /> approximately 146 people. <br /> There have been no subdivisions or significant residential development after the last building permits in <br /> Southport were issued last year.This modest growth is explained by an additional 35 single-family <br /> dwelling units permitted plus eight (8,) units in four(4) two-family townhouses permitted at Willowbend. <br /> Data sources are indicated in the sections below and come from Town Departments: Building, Zoning <br /> Board of Appeals, Assessors, Health,the Town Clerk, and Mashpee Housing Authority. Additional data, <br /> was gathered from motel/inn property owners, the Mashpee Commons,team, and staff at the local <br /> nursing/assisted living facilities Royal of Cotuit, Laurentide, and Bridges, by Epoch. <br />
