was presented at the office of the Zoning Board of Appeal requesting the Board consider the change as a minor
modification of the Comprehensive Permit:
The.tequest was-processed in accordance.v ith 760CMR 31.03(3): The Board heard the request at its public
hearing of December 11,2002. Mr.Dennis L.Mahoney,Project Development Agent represented the request
before the Board.-_He explained the project was,to expand the building by adding an addition to.the:basement

"assistance through the Local Initiative Program, 760 CMR 545.00"
as a subsidy) , the project meets the requirements of 760 CMR
531.01(1) (b) (that the project shall be fundable by a subsidizing
agency under a low and moderate income housing subsidy program) .
3. The Riverview school owns the land and has agreed to convey it to
the Applicant, Living Independently Forever, Inc. (LIFE) , for
nominal consideration, and therefore, the Applicant controls the
land.
4. The Applicant has standing to apply for a Comprehensive Permit
under M.G.L. , Chapter 40B, Sections 20-23 and 760 CMR 31.01.
However, the project' will only meet the requirements of "low or
moderate" housing under M.G.L. c. 40B upon final approval by EOCD
. 4
Comprehensive Permit Decision
Appeal No. 1992-68
of the project as a LIP project and upon execution of a regulatory
agreement.
5. The Town of Barnstable does not meet the minimum thresholds for
low and moderate income housing contained in M.G.L. , Chapter 40B,
sections 20-23.
6. The locus is a 3.99-acre site at the end of Lincoln Road Extension
in Hyannis, Massachusetts that is presently undeveloped.
7. The locus is in a RC-1 zoning district.
8. The locus is in a zone of contribution for a public water supply.
9. An eight-lot subdivision for the locus (subdivision No. 573) was
endorsed by the Planning Board on December 9, 1985, and re-
endorsed by the Planning Board on August 25, 1986. That plan
extended the street layout of Lincoln Road Extension as a private
road to join Castlewood circle, and also created Aurora Lane, as a
private road, to link Rilkore Drive with Lincoln Road Extension.
Rilkore Drive is part of the presently uncompleted abutting
subdivision known as Cobblestone Landing.
10. The surrounding neighborhood is comprised of single-family
detached dwelling on approximately one-half acre lots. These are
generally smaller than the one acre lot size currently required
for this zoning district.
11. The proposed units in the condominium will range from approximately
1,056 square feet to approximately 1,280 square feet. The units
will be of wood frame townhouse type construction. The units
shall be attractively landscaped pursuant to the landscape plan
presented, with night lighting and designed in a Cape Cod-style
construction with clapboard fronts, shutters and. accented
doorways. The seven condominium housing units will each have two
(2) bedrooms, 1-1/2 baths, and full kitchen facilities.
12. The amount of impervious lot coverage shall be approximately 10%
to 11% of the locus, and approximately 50% of the natural
vegetation of the locus shall be undisturbed.
13. The density of the development shall be two (2) units per acre,
which is the density of the previously-approved subdivision and
which is equal to previous zoning in the area.
14. Because the site is in a groundwater protection overlay district,
the Cape Cod commission, the Planning Board, and the Board of
Health have recommended that the site be connected to the Town
sewer. This recommendation is consistent with the application
for a comprehensive permit wherein the Applicant's application
proposed that the site will be hooked up to the Town of
Barnstable's wastewater Treatment Facility at the applicant's
expense. The Board, therefore, finds that the site shall be
S
comprehensive Permit Decision
Appeal No. 1992-68
connected to the Town sewer and public water supply, all at the
applicants expense.
15. The Town of Barnstable has no current plans or appropriations to
extend the Towns sewer system to the site. As part of its
application and its presentation before the Board of Appeals, the
Applicant has offered to assume full financial responsibility for
all the costs attendant to extending the Towns existing sewer
system to the site and connecting its eight units to the sewer
system. Said costs shall include, but not be limited to, the
costs of engineering, designing, and constructing (including
construction inspection) the sewer system extension, including all
appurtenances and connections, the cost of any easements needed to
construct and maintain the extended sewer system, and any road
repairs necessitated by said sewer ccnstruction. The applicants
shall also be responsible for paying for sewer connection permits
and user fee charges for each unit.
16. The structures shall be hooked up to public water.
17. Utilities, through the Commonwealth Electric Company and Colonial
Gas Co., are available at the locus and shall be constructed
underground.
18. The proposal has received the support of the Cape Cod Commission,
the Cape Community Housing Trust (which is the Town of Barnstable
Local Housing .Partnership Committee) , and the Town of Barnstable,
acting through its Town Manager.
19. The proposal has received conditional approval as a Local
Initiative Program project, pursuant to 760 CMR 45.00, from the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive office of Communities and
Development, subject to the conditions outlined in the letter
dated October 9, 1992 from the Secretary of EOCD, to the Town of
Barnstable Town Manager, which letter is attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein.
20. The purpose of the proposed development is to provide independent
living opportunities for learning disabled adults in a community
environment, with certain limited support services to be provided
through the on-site office in the condominium. The provision of
this type of housing with support services offers a unique
opportunity for the target population to live and work
independently within the community.
21. The unit mix for the condominium will be as follows:
one (1) affordable housing LIP unit (either Unit #3 or #4) for
rental at a maximum of $350 per month for a single tenant, or $600
per month for more than one tenant, which unit shall be available
for rental, in perpetuity, to an eligible low or moderate income
individual.
.. 6
Comprehensive Permit Decision
Appeal No. 1992-68
one (1) affordable housing LIP unit .(either Unit #3. or #4) to be
sold for a sales price not to exceed of $62,500, which unit shall
be subject, in perpetuity, to a deed rider, requiring that the
unit be owned and occupied by an eligible person(s) of low or
moderate income.
Five (5) market units for sales anticipated at $135,000 to
$145,000.
one (1) office unit to be used for the supervision of the program
by the Applicant. The office unit shall be used for no other
purpose than that specified herein.
occupancy of the above seven (7) residential units will be limited
to learning disabled adults.
22. Of the total of seven (7) housing units (the 7 .condominium
residences for learning disabled adults) , two (2) are LIP units as
identified above, in with the LIP Regulations, 760 CMR
545.00.
23. The final site plan, "Site Plan of Land in Hyannis, Mass.,
prepared for: Riverview. School Inc, Scale 1"=301, February 28,
1992, revised April 6, 1992, revised December 9, 1992. Eagle
Surveying & Engineering, Inc. with a "Y" turnaround at the
southern portion of the locus and a 40 foot radius cul de sac
serving the individuals units at the end of the existing Lincoln
Road Extension, adequately addresses the concerns of Site Plan
Review, providing adequate and safe traffic and pedestrian
circulation, and adequate and safe ingress and egress for fire
trucks and other emergency vehicles. . The "Y" turnaround portion
of the roadway shall be constructed to Subdivision Rules &
Regulations "Minor B" street standards. The private drive portion
consisting of the cul de sac shall be developed with a minimum of
a 6" sub-course and 2.5" bituminous surface. Both shall be layed
out as shown in the revised site plan dated December 9, 1992 (Plan
item #5) . The applicant or its designate in the property shall
maintain the roadways and drives .in good passable and safe
condition at all times.
24. The Board of Appeals has carefully reviewed the Planning Boards
recommendation that the Applicant be required to construct a
roadway between Kilkore Drive and Castlewood Circle. While this
roadway does not provide any special benefit to the proposed
eight-unit development, it would provide a means of access between
two previously-approved subdivisions. In light of the relatively
small size of the proposed development, the cost that the
Applicant would have to incur to complete the roadway and
particularly in view of the fact that this roadway is not needed
to service the proposed development, the Board of Appeals
determines it unreasonable to require the Applicant to construct
the roadway. Proposals suggested to help the Applicant defray the
cost of road construction appear to detract from the continuity of
the proposed development and further raise serious questions as to
Comprehensive Permit Decision
Appeal No. 1992-68
whether such proposals could even be considered by the Board under
the Comprehensive Permit Application that had been submitted to
the Board of Appeals. After reviewing all the evidence, the Board
of Appeals finds that the recommendations of the Planning Board.
can be adequately addressed through the granting of an easement by
the Applicant to the Town of Barnstable between Rilkore Drive and
Castlewood Circle.
25. Because of the threatened loss of affordable housing units within
the Town of Barnstable and throughout the region (Barnstable
County) due to "expiring uses' and in view of the Towns current
deficit in affordable housing units, it is consistent with local
needs for the Town of Barnstable to ensure the long-term
affordability of eligible units. with regard to local needs, the
Board of Appeals would have preferred the dedication by the
Applicant of more than two units for the housing for persons of
low or moderate incomes. However, as long as two housing units of
the seven housing units proposed remain available in perpetuity as
housing for persons of low or moderate income, as such term is
defined by the LIP program or in the event of the elimination of
the LIP program, of any other state or federal program that
defines said terms, the project is deemed to be consistent with
local needs and to adequately promote the objectives of providing
affordable housing for the Town of Barnstable without jeopardizing
the health and safety of the occupants of the proposed project and
the residents of the Town of Barnstable.
The vote on the findings was as follow:

Findings of Fact
At the conclusion of the December 10, 1992 hearing, after discussion, based on
the evidence submitted, and the finding that the Applicant has standing to
apply for a Comprehensive Permit under M.G.L., Chapter 40B, Sections 20-23 and
760 CMR 31.01, the Board, by a motion duly made and seconded, voted on the
following findings:
1. The Applicant is a non-profit organization which provides a
program designed for long-term independent living for adults with
learning disabilities.
2. Conditioned upon the final approval by EOCD of the proposed
project as a LIP project, and the definition of "subsidy" as
contained in 760 CMR 530.02 (which specifically includes
"assistance through the Local Initiative Program, 760 CMR 545.00"
as a subsidy) , the project meets the requirements of 760 CMR
531.01(1) (b) (that the project shall be fundable by a subsidizing
agency under a low and moderate income housing subsidy program) .
3. The Riverview School owns the land and has agreed to convey it to
the Applicant, Living Independently Forever, Inc. (LIFE) , for
nominal consideration, and therefore, the Applicant controls the
land.
4. The Applicant has standing to apply for a Comprehensive Permit
under M.G.L. , Chapter 40B, Sections 20-23 and 760 CMR 31.01.
However, the project will only meet the requirements of "low or
moderate" housing under M.G.L. c. 40B upon final approval by EOCD
4
Comprehensive Permit Decision
Appeal No. 1992-68
of the project as a LIP project and upon execution of a regulatory
agreement.
5. The Town of Barnstable does not meet the minimum thresholds for
low and moderate income housing contained in M.G.L., Chapter 40B,
Sections 20-23.
6. The locus is a 3.99-acre site at the end of Lincoln Road Extension
in Hyannis, Massachusetts that is presently undeveloped.
7. The locus is in a RC-1 zoning district.
8. The locus is in a zone of contribution for a public water supply.
9. An eight-lot subdivision for the locus (Subdivision No. 573) was
endorsed by the Planning Board on December 9, 1985, and re-
endorsed by the Planning Board on August 25, 1986. That plan
extended the street layout of Lincoln Road Extension as a private
road to join Castlewood Circle, and also created Aurora Lane, as a
private road, to link Kilkore Drive with Lincoln Road Extension.
Kilkore Drive is part of the presently uncompleted abutting
subdivision known as Cobblestone Landing.
10. The surrounding neighborhood is comprised of single-family
detached dwelling on approximately one-half acre lots. These are
generally smaller than the one acre lot size currently required
for this zoning district.
11. The proposed units in the condominium will range from approximately
1,056 square feet to approximately 1,280 square feet. The units
will be of wood frame townhouse type construction. The units
shall be attractively landscaped pursuant to the landscape plan
presented, with night lighting and designed in a Cape Cod-style
construction with clapboard fronts
cons p , shutters and accented
doorways. The seven condominium housing units will each have two
(2) bedrooms, 1-1/2 baths, and full kitchen facilities.
12. The amount of impervious lot coverage shall be approximately 10%
to 11% of the locus, and approximately 50% of the natural
vegetation of the locus shall be undisturbed.
13. The density of the development shall be two (2) units per acre,
which is the density of the previously-approved subdivision and
which is equal to previous zoning in the area.
14 . Because the site is in a groundwater protection overlay district,
the Cape Cod Commission, the Planning Board, and the Board of
Health have recommended that the site be connected to the Town
sewer. This recommendation is consistent with the application
for a comprehensive permit wherein the Applicants application
proposed that the site will be hooked up to the Town of
Barnstable's wastewater Treatment Facility at the applicant's
expense. The Board, therefore, finds that the site shall be
5
Comprehensive Permit Decision
Appeal No. 1992-68
connected to the Town sewer and public water supply, all at the
applicants expense.
15. The Town of Barnstable has no current plans or appropriations to
extend the Towns sewer system to the site. As part of its
application and its presentation before the Board of Appeals, the
Applicant has offered to assume full financial responsibility for
all the costs attendant to extending the Towns existing sewer
system to the site and connecting its eight units to the sewer
system. Said costs shall include, but not be limited to, the
costs of engineering, designing, and constructing (including
construction inspection) the sewer system extension, including all
appurtenances and connections, the cost of any easements needed to
construct and maintain the extended sewer system, and any road
repairs necessitated by said sewer construction. The applicants
shall also be responsible for paying for sewer connection permits
and user fee charges for each unit.
16. The structures shall be hooked up to public water.
17. Utilities, through the Commonwealth Electric Company and Colonial
Gas Co. , are available at the locus and shall be constructed
underground.
18. The proposal has received the support of the Cape Cod commission,
the Cape Community Housing Trust (which is the Town of Barnstable
Local Housing Partnership Committee) , and the Town of Barnstable,
acting through its Town Manager.
19. The proposal has received conditional approval as a Local
Initiative Program project, pursuant to 760 CMR 45.00, from the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive ,Office of Communities and
Development, subject to the conditions outlined in the letter
dated October 9, 1992 from the Secretary of EOCD, to the Town of
Barnstable Town Manager, which letter is attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein.
20. The purpose of the proposed development is to provide independent
living opportunities for learning disabled adults in a community
environment, with certain limited support services to be provided
through the on-site office in the condominium. The provision of
this type of housing with support services offers a unique
opportunity for the target population to live and work
independently within the community.
21. The unit mix for the condominium will be as follows:
one ( 1) affordable housing LIP unit (either Unit #3 or #4) for
rental at a maximum of $350 per month for a single tenant, or $600
per month for more than one tenant, which unit shall be available
for rental, in perpetuity, to an eligible low or moderate income
individual.
6
Comprehensive Permit Decision
Appeal No. 1992-68
one (1) affordable housing LIP unit (either Unit #3 or #4) to be
sold for a sales price not to exceed of $62,500, which unit shall
be subject, in perpetuity, to a deed rider, requiring that the
unit be owned and occupied by an eligible person(s) of low or
moderate income.
Five (5) market units for sales anticipated at $135,000 to
$145,000.
one (1) office unit to be used for the supervision of the program
by the Applicant. The office unit shall be used for no other
purpose than that specified herein.
occupancy of the above seven (7) residential units will be limited
to learning disabled adults.
22. of the total of seven (7) housing units (the 7 .condominium
residences for learning disabled adults) , two (2) are LIP units as
identified above, in conformity with the LIP Regulations, 760 CMR
545.00.
23. The final site plan, "Site Plan of Land in Hyannis, Mass. ,
prepared for: Riverview school Inc, Scale 1"=301 , February 28,
1992, revised April 6, 1992, revised December 9, 1992. Eagle
Surveying & Engineering, Inc. with a "Y" turnaround at the
southern portion of the locus and a 40 foot radius cul de sac
serving the individuals units at the end of the existing Lincoln
Road Extension, adequately addresses the concerns of Site Plan
Review, providing adequate and safe traffic and pedestrian
circulation, and adequate and safe ingress and egress for fire
trucks and other emergency vehicles. The ,Y" turnaround portion
of the roadway shall be constructed to Subdivision Rules &
Regulations "Minor B" street standards. The private drive portion
consisting of the cul de sac shall be developed with a minimum of
a 6" sub-course and 2.5" bituminous surface. Both shall be layed
out as shown in the revised site plan dated December 9, 1992 (Plan
item #5) . The applicant or its designate in the property shall
maintain the roadways and drives in good passable and safe
condition at all times.
24. The Board of Appeals has carefully reviewed the Planning Board's
recommendation that the Applicant be required to construct a
roadway between Kilkore Drive and Castlewood Circle. While this
roadway does not provide any special benefit to the proposed
eight-unit development, it would provide a means of access between
two previously-approved subdivisions. In light of the relatively
small size of the proposed development, the cost that the
Applicant would have to incur to complete the roadway and
particularly in view of the fact that this roadway is not needed
to service the proposed development, the Board of Appeals
determines it unreasonable to require the Applicant to construct
the roadway. Proposals suggested to help the Applicant defray the
cost of road construction appear to detract from the continuity of
the proposed development and further raise serious questions as to
7
comprehensive Permit Decision
Appe
al No 1992-68
whether such proposals could even be considered by the Board under
the Comprehensive Permit Application that had been submitted to
the- Board of Appeals. After reviewing all the evidence, the Board
of Appeals finds that the recommendations of the Planning Board
can be adequately addressed through the granting of an easement by
the Applicant to the Town of Barnstable between Kilkore Drive and
Castlewood Circle.
25. Because of the threatened loss of affordable housing units within
the Town of Barnstable and throughout the region (Barnstable
County) due to "expiring uses' and in view of the Towns current
deficit in affordable housing units, it is consistent with local
needs for the Town of Barnstable to ensure the long-term
affordability of eligible units. With regard to local needs, the
Board of Appeals would have preferred the dedication by the
Applicant of more than two units for the housing for persons of
low or moderate incomes. However, as long as two housing units of
the seven housing units proposed remain available in perpetuity as
housing for persons of low or moderate income, as such term is
defined by the LIP program or in the event of the elimination of
the LIP program, of any other state or federal program that
defines said terms, the project is deemed to be consistent with
local needs and to adequately promote the objectives of providing
affordable housing for the Town of Barnstable without jeopardizing
the health and safety of the occupants of the proposed project and
the residents of the Town of Barnstable.
The vote on the findings was as follow:
AYES: Ron Jansson, Gail Nightingale, Elizabeth Nelsson and Chairman Richard
Boy
NAYS: None
