16 Great Neck RoadWorth <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />consultants and hopefully connect with Marie Stone about the Tribe. He will follow up via e-mail once <br />confirmed. <br />Ms. Wells is in need of Mashpee photos and credits to those photos. <br />Mr. Lehrer commented the school recently had a photo project and they asked him if they could use the <br />photos in the marketing materials and the final product. He is excited about the Youth Engagement <br />piece and will reach out further regarding those photos. He would also accept photos via e-mail from <br />anyone else with proper credits. <br />Chairman Fulone will forward Paul Rifkin's contact information to Ms. Wells. <br />Discussion relative to a potential Cottage Court/ Pocket Neighborhood Zoning Bylaw proposal <br />with Willowbend Country Club <br />Jack McElhinney appeared on behalf of Willowbend Country Club. He introduced the map layout of all <br />440 acres of Willowbend on the overhead screen. Recently they acquired the 5 acre parcel in the <br />middle of the property, which was not part of the original Special Permit. It was family owned and was <br />recently acquired by Willowbend. There is a significant wetland area that covers an acre on this parcel. <br />He reached out to Mr. Lehrer expressing interest in developing this parcel into something that would be <br />a new small neighborhood with some density. It is currently zoned R3, and they would like to explore <br />the possibility to develop in a density like what has been done in the previous project, given the golf <br />course and large amount of open space here. They have the advantage of the treatment plant, one <br />house is currently on septic, but anything done would be connected. He reached out to start a dialogue <br />of what could be done. Mr. Lehrer recommended a cottage colony, which may be of utility to the town. It <br />would allow pocket neighborhoods on smaller parcels that would allow for more affordable product to <br />be constructed. <br />Mr. Lehrer was approached with the concept for potential rezoning in this area, his first thought was <br />how can the town provide or accommodate the missing middle housing types. When Willowbend <br />described the concept it appeared to be very similar to what is referred to as the Cottage Court <br />typology. A Cottage Court Bylaw would be something the town considers accommodating, it would be <br />harmonious to green spaces and allow additional density. The language he proposed for a bylaw <br />change proposal is solely for purpose of discussion. He noted a few pieces of importance should this <br />discussion continue. This would be an allowed use in both residential zoning districts on conforming <br />lots, meaning 40,000 s.f lot minimum in the R3 and 80,000 s.f. lot minimum in R5, provided they are on <br />public or private wastewater. At this time not everyone would be accommodated but would provide <br />Willowbend that flexibility. A Cottage Court is a collection of singular residential housing types around <br />common space. The central courtyard functions as someone's back yard with residential housing <br />typologies surrounding that courtyard. He referred to a graphic representation in front of the Board <br />designed by Willowbend. Mr. Lehrer believes they are close with their interpretation, but this design <br />does not fully constitute a Cottage Court. He has provided feedback on where he is seeing the potential <br />for a bylaw. <br />0 <br />
