16 Great Neck Road North <br />.Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />ADUs to be rented. They contemplated 90 days, which is what this states. He has received <br />written comment from Ms. Russell. She noted the purpose of this bylaw was to encourage <br />year round housing. She suggested a 12 month rental term. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated if someone lists their property on any vacation rental website they get <br />notified. It will need to be registered and inspected by a Code Compliance Officer as well as <br />a walk through from the Board of Health. <br />Mr. Richardson made a point that if we are concerned about seasonal workers, aren't we <br />then eliminating that entire group for housing considerations? <br />Ms. Waygan stated it can be modified if there are a lot of violations, but the purpose of the <br />bylaw is to improve year round housing. <br />Ms. Russell also noted to change the wording from `may' to 'shall'. <br />Ms. Waygan commented the Town Planner will have to write that article up. <br />Mr. Lehrer will change the 90 day term to 365 days. As a person who is building one now, at <br />the end of the costs, he is eager to rent it to anyone who can occupy it. There are many year <br />round workers desperate for a 12 month lease. Since making this change we have empty <br />ADUs. It's prudent to consider a 12 month lease. <br />Ms. Waygan noted in order to have a J-1 you have to provide housing. She would like to <br />give it a try and see if there is pushback. They will know if people are renting. <br />MOTION: <br />Ms. Waygan made a motion to slightly modify the Accessory Dwelling Unit bylaw by <br />striking the words 90 consecutive days and replacing with 12 consecutive months. <br />Seconded Mr. Balzarini. All in favor. <br />Ms. Waygan also noted that you cannot live in the ADU and rent out the principal dwelling, <br />neither can be used for lodging or boarding. She also had a proposal to increase the <br />minimum square footage size to 400s.f. She asked if Mr. Lehrer could check into that for the <br />next meeting, if anyone went below 450s.f. Other towns have 800s.f. ranches that are being <br />built. Mashpee has a fairly large housing stock in regards to square footage. Requirements <br />are you have to have a door to separate the bathroom from the main area and 4ft. of <br />counter space. You need space to have separate sanitary areas. <br />Raze and Replace Amendment <br />10 <br />
