16 Great Neck RoadNorth <br />wlashyee, -Massachusetts oz649 <br />Ms. Faulkner stated we need to allow two family homes in residential districts. Ms. Waygan <br />does not like strategy 4, we have the ADU bylaw, we should stick with that and see what that <br />produces. Four is being stricken for now. <br />Ms. Faulkner commented strategy five needs to be amended to allow existing residential <br />beyond what is allowed in current zoning. <br />Ms. Lanzillotta elaborated the only way that can be accomplished is through the open space <br />incentive, or cluster development. If you take some of those allowances back, like under OSID <br />or under cluster, it makes it easier. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated OSID and cluster each have a minimum provision of open space, at 50% <br />land area. OSID can only be done with 20 acres or more, open space is 5 acres or more. Open <br />space is on or off sight. This considers building types that would be allowed to benefit from a <br />cluster. This could be accomplished by pairing a housing diversity goal with a special permit. <br />Ms. Waygan commented we need to be able to hand off this approved plan to the building <br />department and they follow the plans and look at the buildings. We have reviewed <br />infrastructure and roads, if we don't do that under special permit we have to have someone do <br />it. The benefit to a special permit is that staff are not doing reviews, it is done by a public <br />board, abutters comment, and an engineer helps. The applicant also pays for the engineer. If <br />we make it by right we are having the town pay. <br />Ms. Lanzillotta commented OSID could take place anywhere. Cluster is not allowed across <br />residential but within cluster development project. <br />Ms. Faulkner is thinking of Tudor Terrace. If 3 town houses were built there, how could they <br />achieve aesthetics in that neighborhood? <br />Mr. Lehrer reminded anything 5 acres or more requires clusters. Why not take advantage of <br />building types while maintaining the open space recreation component. We should not remove <br />the potential without looking at requirements or seeing all options. He often refers to cottage <br />courts, a lovely building typology. We need to be able to generate much more units at the <br />same density while meeting a need for housing units. Strategy one is establishing unique <br />overlays. Cluster is residential building so it would be variable across R3 and R5, wherever <br />cluster subdivisions are allowed. <br />Ms. Lanzillotta agreed, it would be evaluating what would be compatible. <br />11 <br />
