16 Great .Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />has special permits allowing up to 100 housing units in a mixed use commercial setting of which blank <br />have been constructed. She left it for Mr. Lehrer to confirm. <br />Mr. Lehrer will find out what exists now, he knows 100 is allowed there. <br />Ms. Waygan stated it is designed so nice you cannot tell there is a lot of housing in there. <br />Ms. Waygan noted under existing conditions impediments for affordable housing was polluted waters <br />from past development booms and fragile and sensitive environment. Approximately 30% of current <br />housing stock is only used part of the year. We have no full time staff dedicated to affordable housing. <br />Opportunities for YIMBY and not NIMBY (Not in my backyard). There are some Mashpee properties <br />right for re development. There is an inventory of town owned land that may be suitable. The amazon <br />effect is a new concept where commercial properties are vacant or run down and it may be right for <br />residential redevelopment. The residential market is so hot right now, some developers are converting <br />commercial use to residential. She was looking for examples of density. One opportunity is Mashpee is <br />seen as an investment community. She was hoping to include in the chapter the historic population <br />growth, 1870 had 348 people. Until 1950/60 had 867 then jumps. Now we are 15,000. She had some <br />new comments for Ms. Sweet. She emailed them to Mr. Lehrer. There is current data on housing cost <br />burden from CHAS (Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy) through HUD. She is hoping to add <br />an age distribution trend over last 5 decades how age groups have changed. Have we always been <br />heavy on older adults or is there a trend that there were young people? Current population <br />characteristics in Mashpee comparted to country and state for veterans and disabled person. Some <br />communities have a high percentage for disabled persons. When you are designing housing you want <br />a good percentage of accessible units. It is nice to know what your percent of veterans are, you might <br />want to consider veteran housing or support groups to help create housing. We are missing some race <br />and ethnicity data. She did not put this in her memo. It would be good to know the percentage of <br />minority households are and how it compares to the state and county. In the current LCP it talks about <br />related income to these groups, poverty was higher for minority households and it would be good to <br />know if that is still the case. <br />Mr. Balzarini commented that most buildings in Mashpee are new, he isn't seeing any buildings that are <br />right for redevelopment. <br />Ms. Waygan referred to the older more humble motel properties. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated there are a few properties he has off the top of his head that are right for <br />redevelopment. The Barn and Polar Cave, that entire C2 commercial district. He is also thinking about <br />the properties across the street of Andy's Market on Rt.151, they are large parcels of land with a small <br />retail space and large storage in the back. Women's Workout is in the process of being contemplated. <br />He is also thinking about 348 Main Street the Solar Rising building. Also, 100 Great Neck Road North <br />formerly Zachary's, which is nearly 6 acres. Heading towards Falmouth, Crane Herb Company, that <br />seems to be a decent opportunity as well. Those are the sites he has in mind. <br />11 <br />
