PUBLIC HEARING 7:10PM (Continued from 08/02/2023) Applicant: Southworth Mashpee Properties LLC Location: 275 Quinaquisset Avenue (Map 69 Parcel 32) Request: Applicant proposes to modify the Willowbend Country Club Special Permit to construct a 14-unit single family cottage community immediately contiguous to the Willowbend Golf Course. With these changes the total unit count for the Willowbend project would be increased to 287 if the Board authorizes the annexation of 275 Quinaquisset into the Willowbend Special Permit as allowed. 287 dwelling units is the maximum number of dwelling units authorized under the Special Permit. All units will be connected to end served by the existing privately owned wastewater treatment plant which serves the entire Willowbend project. Mr. McElhinney is here for Southworth, along with Matthew Eddy, Principal of Baxter & Nye and site engineer. There are two issues needing to be discussed and resolved relative to the project. First is the bedroom count issue, a separate application to discuss later. The other major issue holding up progress was unable to make required special permit findings. The environmental board indicated its strong desire to wait for indications from the Conservation Commission for review of the project to proceed on a parallel track. Mr. McElhinney reminded the Board about the reduction in the scope from 14 units to 12 units. The buffer was increased on Quinaquisset to 75 feet and the bulk of wetland impact. They agreed with Conservation to take that storm water design and concept through Baxter & Nye. The preliminary report dated November 16, 2023 showed a significant amount of work to be done with regulatory determinations. In conclusion, the project was said to have significant environment benefits. They are doing the work requested of them in terms of regulatory compliance, next they will go before Conservation in January and they hope to move forward. Mr. Pesce reiterated the removal of 2 units, he noted the setback of 65ft. plus another 5ft. of clearance to total 70ft. On sheet C3.1, he made a number of comments, revisions of the grading, storm water, issues regarding groundwater elevation, and other minor stuff. The PA
