• Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes May 16, 2006 Jobs & Whiting Residential Neighborhoods Affordable and Unit Plans: Special Counsel made note of a potential conflict with existing traffic patterns in Phase 4 as referenced Lots 1-7 and 14-25. The lots are very narrow and the plan was recommended to be reconfigured. In response, Mr. Storrs indicated the commercial parking lot would be considered a mixed use parking lot. In accordance with Item 5 of the hand-out, the current plan provides for the parking demand. Two spaces are considered for each one bed or studio apartment. Mr. Storrs stated that he did not want to pave more areas than necessary or mandate more than two spaces per unit. Street parking was noted to be available for visitor parking. With regards to units 1-7, Mr. Riley suggested the second car utilize the parking lot, across from the drive and assign to units that back up to parking spaces, spaces inside islands for units 15-23. However, this • recommendation would take away parking spaces from Mashpee Commons. It was noted the ZBA cannot alter the special permit issued to Mashpee Commons. The parking as presently outlined by the architect meets the parking demand under the special permit.
