16 Great Neck RoadNorth <br />wlashyee, -Massachusetts o2649 <br />change the clean water actions when we just started them. We are not sure they are going to <br />work. It will take time to see if these sewers will work, we won't know right away. <br />Mr. Balzarini commented it takes 20 years for nitrogen to leach out after a sewer is installed. <br />We might not see any reduction for 15 years. He would like to hold off on some of these items <br />and refer back to two years after the sewer is implemented. <br />Ms. Waygan noted our LCP survey had water as the most concerning topic. <br />Ms. Faulkner delved into survey results with the most serious problem facing Mashpee <br />according to residents. The first problem at 87% is water quality, next was traffic, cost of living <br />was 71 %, climate change ranked 67%, housing concerned 62%, and 68% chose loss of open <br />space. We shouldn't be tinkering with the plan, there are just too many unknowns. If we keep <br />the existing bylaw with multi units, 40,000 s.f. for two units with two bedrooms. There can be a <br />variance if someone wants to add a bedroom. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated they issue variances, however, absent of a variance, the density prescribed <br />in the bylaw is for 4 bedrooms with 40,OOOs.f. by right. You cannot have 5 or 6 bedrooms <br />without the issue of a variance. Hardships are defined. <br />HPP consultant Alexis Lanzillotta stated the Sewer Commission has a provision for how to <br />issue a variance. The BOH has not updated their current regulations for septic online. Title 5 <br />updates will be brought online with the needs of sewer and current capacities within sewer. <br />Prioritizing affordable housing in consideration of variances in tandem with sewer. That is one <br />thing that could be done within sewer regulation. <br />Ms. Waygan is not advocating for changing the CWNP at this time. For affordable housing, we <br />would like variances to consider affordable housing as a means for a variance. That would <br />cover a Ch. 40B development. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated the Sewer Commission's plan is to provide future amendments. We should <br />consider a conversation relative to affordable housing goals and the ability or desire. <br />Ms. Faulkner noted the HPP goes beyond affordable housing. She found number 7 to be <br />upsetting, with the taking out of the two family home by right in residential districts. We need to <br />explore different zoning mechanisms. First bullet, establish overlay areas that would allow <br />town houses. Recommendations for proposed changes include a form based code overlay if <br />desired, in areas with suitable wastewater or planned infrastructure. This is commonly <br />identified as building types in the missing middle. <br />:l <br />
