Reference: Cotuit Equitable Housing, LLC, - Request for a Proposed Modification of
Comprehensive Permit No. 2005-082 — "Cotuit Mead ows�9999-Falmoiat R ad
f(Route28),Cotuit A
Attached you will find information submitted to the Zoning Board of Appeals Office relating to a
proposed modification of Comprehensive Permit No. 2005-082 issued to Cotuit Equitable
Housing, LLC., for property located at 9999 Falmouth Road (Route 28), Cotuit, MA. The request
seeks:
• An additional 4-year extension of a timeframe for completion of design and permitting
signalization at Route 28 and Noisy Hole Road.
• Proposed changes in the phasing schedule. Initially, Phase 1 was to consist of that change
was to allow 18 market rate units to be developed, occupancy permits issued, and then,
prior to the issuance of the 19th market rate building permit, 6 affordable units to be
developed to occupancy. That proposed change has been modified, as communicated to
staff, to provide for the first 52 units (Phase 1) that for every 6 building and occupancy
permits issued, 1 shall be for an affordable unit and 5 shall be for the market rate units.
• And, proposed changes in the design of the affordable units and location of those units.
The comprehensive permit process designates the Zoning Board of Appeals as the local permitting
agency. In that`role, the Board is requesting your agency's review of the materials submitted and
would appreciate knowing any of your concerns with respect to the proposed modifications.
The request was initially submitted to the Board as a minor modification on June 24, 2008, via a
letter from Attorney John W. Kenney. A subsequent letter dated July 9, 2008 withdraws that minor
modification and requested that it be handled as a major modification requiring a public hearing.
July 29,2008,Memorandum on for Modification of Comprehensive Permit No.2005-082
That public hearing has been noticed for August 6, 2008. However, given the Board's complement
at this time it is anticipated that the hearing will not go forward and the only action will be to move
the public hearing to the September 10, 2008, regularly scheduled meeting.
If you could provide this office with any comments for the Board by September 1, 2008 it would be
greatly appreciated. Should you need any additional information, please feel free to contact Art .
Traczyk, Principal Planner or Carol Puckett, Administrative Assistant at 508-862-4785. Thank you
for your participation and assistance.

Re: Cotuit Equitable Housing, LLC.
Dear Madam Chairman and Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals:
I am writing to request that Cotuit Equitable Housing, LLC be placed on your
agenda for your meeting on July 9, 2008 to discuss a Minor Modification to the
Comprehensive Permit granted in Appeal Number 2005-082. The minor
modification to be discussed concerns the following: -
1. Conditions 12 and 13 of the Comprehensive Permit required Cotuit
Equitable Housing to design and seek Mass Highway permits to
signalize the intersection of Route 28 and Noisy Hole Road within one
year of the grant of the permit. This condition was modified by Minor
Modification No. 1, which extended the timeframe to complete this task
to two years from the grant of the permit. Applicant is requesting an
extension of the time to complete this-task for an additional four years
(the anticipated completion of Phase I of Building).
2. Conditions 31, 37, 39, and 41 deal with the phasing of the construction
of homes and with submission of the Homeowner's Association
documents to the Town of Barnstable. Applicant is seeking to modify
these conditions, and any other conditions set forth in the
Comprehensive Permit, to allow Applicant to construct eighteen (18)
market rate homes prior to constructing an affordable home. Before a
nineteenth (19th) Certificate of Occupancy for a market rate home
could be issued by the Building Inspector, Applicant would be required
to construct and obtain Certificates of Occupancy for six (6) affordable
homes. The Applicant is requesting that submission and approval of
the Homeowner's Association documents be extended to prior to the
issuance of any Certificate of Occupancy for any individual home
(excluding the model home).
i
3. Condition 20 addresses the styles and joc;atiun of affordable units
throughout the subdivision. Applicant is requesting a modification to
this condition to change both the style of affordable houses to be built
and their location in Phase I of the building process. Phase I contains
a total of fifty-two (52) lots. Thirteen of these lots are to be designated
as affordable home lots. Applicant seeks to designate the following
lots as affordable lots: 24,26,29,36,37,43,49,50,54,55, 57, 59, and 61.
Attached for your review in connection with this request is a site map of
the subdivision showing Phases I and II; plans for an Affordable cape
style home; and plans for an Affordable colonial style home.
Thank you for your consideration of these matters. I look forward to discussing
them with the Zoning Board at your meeting on July 9, 2008.
Very truly yours,
Cotuit Equitable Housing, LLC
By its Attorney

MEMO
June 27, 2008
Dear Board Members,
I have composed the attached maps as a visual aide to clarify what was original and what is
proposed:
o The "Original Proposal" map was composed from a map that was originally submitted.
showing each phase and the affordable lots assigned at that point (affordables (31) are
highlighted with a red dot)
o "Original Phase 1 with Affordables 00)" map is showing the original phase 1 with the ten
(10) affordable lots for clarity
o "Proposed Phase 1 with Affordables (13)" shows how the original phase has expanded and
the change in the affordable lots in this phase which is now thirteen (13).
Respectfully,
Carol Puckett— Administrative Assistant

Re: Cotuit Equitable Housing, LLC
Dear Madam Chairman and Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals:
After discussion with staff, it is my understanding that the Town Attorney's office
is of the opinion that the request for Minor Modification to the Comprehensive
Permit granted in Appeal Number 2005-082 set forth in my letter to you dated
June 24, 2008 (see copy attached), is in fact a Major Modification which requires
a public hearing. Therefore I hereby request that I be allowed to withdraw my
request for Minor Modification as set forth in my letter of June 24, 2008.
If the Board grants my request for withdrawal of the Minor Modification, I request
that the modifications outlined in my letter to you dated June 24, 2008 be
accepted as application for a Major Modification to Comprehensive Permit
Number 2005-082. I request that the public hearing on the request for Major
Modification be placed on your hearing agenda for the night of August 6, 2008.
Thank you for your consideration of these matters.
Very ruly yours,

Findings of Fact Regarding Consistency with Local Needs:
Motion:
The Board,having found that the Applicant has satisfied the requirements as to standing,made and
seconded the following findings with respect to the proposed development insofar as it relates to being
consistent with local needs:
1. The Applicant, Cotuit Equitable Housing, LLC, has applied for a Comprehensive Permit under the
General Laws of the Commonwealth,Chapter 40B "Affordable Housing". The Applicant submitted
an application for a comprehensive permit for a development of 128, single-family dwellings to be
located on 50.44 acres of land. Thirty-two (32) of the dwellings were to be sold as low and moderate
income housing. During the proceeding that applicant assented to negotiations with the Board and
Town representatives from Barnstable and Mashpee and has modified that proposal to now request a
development of 124,single-family dwellings, 31 of which are to be dedicated in perpetuity as
affordable units and marketed and sold to families whose income does not exceed 80% of the annual
median income of the Barnstable MSA.
2. The site of the proposed development is a 50,44-acre parcel of land situated in Cotuit(Barnstable)
MA,at the Town of Barnstable town-line with 1vlashpee MA. The property is shown on Assessor's
Map 002 as Parcel 002, addressed 9999 Falmouth Road(Route 28), Cotuit, MA. The property is also
more accurately show on a plan entitled"Plant of land in Barnstable, Mass"prepared by Charles N.
Savery,Inc.,Registered Engineers and Surveyors, dated Jan. 23, 1970. A copy of which has been,
submitted with the application. The parcel is located easterly of Noisy Hole Road and north of Route
28. The property is zoned Residence F and is located in the Resource Protection Overlay Distract.
Part of the site is also within the WP and GP,Wellhead and Groundwater Protection Overlay
Districts.
3. The Applicant proposes to divide the land into 124 developable housing lots to be accessed primarily
from Noisy Hole Road as per a set of plans submitted,consisting of four sheets, the title sheet of
which is entitled; "Barnstable Massachusetts 124 Lot Subdivision for Cotuit Equitable Housing, LLC,
MassI-Iousing and New England Fund Programs"dated February 2006, as drawn by Wright-Pierce.
That set includes a proposed general concept subdivision layout, utility plan, and site layout plan
(landscaping). The plans show additional common lots and roadway rights-of-ways to be created.
The common lots are to be developed for a shared Wastewater Treatment Facility, utilities,
wastewater leaching areas, stormwater drainage and retention areas, roadway buffers,open space,
recreation and vegetated buffers, and provides for future access and connection with neighboring
abutting property via Amos Road. Those additional lots are all to be held in common ownership by
the Homeowners Association.
4. Nine styles of homes referred to as the 'Wharf, `Dunes', `Oxford', `Surfside', "Villager', Sconset',
`Deluxe Dunes', `Wauwinet' and `Miacomet' are proposed. They are one-to two-stories in height,
designed to accommodate three-bedroom, and range from 1,482 sq.ft. to 2,060 sq.ft. in living area.
All are proposed with full basements and, at minimum, include a one-car attached garage. Most are
two and one-half bathrooms,except the `Surfside' and `Villager' that have two bathrooms. The 31
affordable units are to be a mixture of the 'Wharf' `Dunes' and `Oxford' style homes. The proposed

Appcal 2005-082-Cotuit Pquitablc Housing,LLC
Comprehensive Permit-MGL,Chapt«40B
dwellings are illustrated in a series of plans entitled"Scrimshaw Village Cotuit,Massachusetts Cotitit
Equitable Housing, LLC"dated February 14,2006.
5. The initial sale price of the affordable dwellings is to be calculated based upon a formula under which
monthly housing costs, including mortgage payments,taxes; insurance, and association fees, shall not
exceed 30% of 70% of the Area Median Income(AMI) of the Barnstable Metropolitan Statistical
Area(MSA) at the time of sale.
6. The Applicant has agreed that the affordable units be sold only to income qualified households,
defined as those making not more than 80%of the area's median income of the MSA. The Applicant
has agreed that all of the units are to be made available on a fair and open basis and the services and
facilities shall be provided to all equitably,regardless of market rate or affordable.,
7. The overall density of the development is just under 2.5 units per acre. The housing lots range from
8,712 to 18,742 sq.ft.,with the average lot size being 11,030 sq.ft. Most lots are located within a
designated Zone 11's, Groundwater Protection Areas of the Cotuit Water Department and Mashpee
Water District public supply wells. As a result the Applicant has proposed a shared wastewater
treatment system. The-leaching area of that systems being located outside of the Zone II's. The total
number of bedrooms proposed is 372. Based on Title 5 the estimated average daily wastewater flow
for the development would be 40,920 gallons per day.
8. The Applicant is aware that the on-site wastewater treatment plant(WWTP)will require a
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP)Discharge Permit. The Applicant
has proposed a `membrane/bio' reaction treatment system for the wastewater treatment plant. The
plant is to be designed to treat wastewater below 5 parts per million nitrogen, below the State
Standards of 10 ppm and in compliance with the Cape Cod Commissions standards of 5 ppm. The
approximate recharge nitrogen concentration from the proposed overall development is projected at
2.2 to 2.5 mg/1.
9. The Applicant has submitted a Hydrogeologic Investigation Report. That report concludes that;
mounding of groundwater would have no effect on the boundaries of the Zones II's protection areas
for the two municipal supply wells,and there will be no nitrogen loading on the private Sea OAlss-
Condominium well as the leach field is located down gradient of that well. With regards to
neighboring private wells and loading to the watershed and Popponessett Bay, the report notes that
treatment of the effluent will be reduced to less than 5 mg/l, well within the acceptable State and Cape
Cod Commission standards.
10. The applicant has submitted a Detailed Traffic Study that calculates the development will generate
1,304 vehicle trips per weekday entering and exiting the development. The morning peak hour
generates 99 vehicle trips per hour and the evening peak hour generates 134 vehicle trips per hour.
The Applicant has redesigned the subdivision so that the main access will be from Noisy Hole Road.
A right turn in-only access has been designed off Route 28 at the request of the Cotuit Fire
Department and Town of Mashpee, The traffic study has concluded that any unsignilized intersection
for the development would function at Level of Service F. The Traffic Consultant reviewed the
proposed traffic at the Route 28 &Noisy Hole/Simon's Road intersection and determined that the
anticipated traffic would meet the ivlassHighway`warrants"for the peak 1-hour,4-hour, and 8-hour
volumes for signalizing the intersection.

Comprehensive Permit-MGL,Chapter 40B
11. The Applicant has determined that they have legal rights to use and improve Noisy Hole Road and
has discussed the issue with the Town of Mashpee Planning;Board. The Applicant has agreed to;
• Improve Noisy Hole Road from Route 28 to the subdivision entrance to the requirements of the
Mashpee Planning Board,
• Grade and patch the remaining section of Noisy Hole Road, as it borders the applicant's property,
as may be requested by the Mashpee Planning Board,
• Seek a MassHighway permit to signalize the intersection of Route 28 & Noisy Hole
Road/Simon's Road, and,
• To pay its fair share of the cost of the intersection and signalization improvement of Route 28 &
Noisy Hole/Simon's Road.
12. In regards,to the construction of the intersection and signalization improvement of Route 28 &Noisy
Hole/Simon's Road the applicant's Consultant has estimated it to cost $175,000 to $250,000. The
estimated trips generated by this development will increase traffic at the intersection of Noisy Hole
Road and Route 28 during the daytime hours from 45 times to 2.1 times the existing traffic, This is
evidenced in table Al of the February 10,2006 Vanassa Hangen Brustlin, Inc., Kealey Memorandum.
13. Under current zoning, development of the 50f,44-acre parcel would permit 21 single-family detached
dwellings. That development would require Cape Cod Commission review as it triggers threshold
criteria for a Development of Regional Impact. The result of that review would be some type of
traffic mitigation requirements. However, as a Chapter 40B comprehensive permit application the
Cape Cod Commission is considered a local review board for which the Zoning Board of Appeals has
the authority to act.
14. The Growth Management provisions of the Zoning Ordinance limits annual building permits to 96
Market rate permits per year. To assure funding of the proposed development the Applicant will need
a projected commitment of building permits designated for this development. To this end,the
Applicant has proposed a phasing plan for the 93 market rate permits for; 10 markets in 2006, then
21markets for each year 2007,2008,and 2009, and 20 markets for 2010, To assure affordable units
are constructed,one(1)out of ever four(4)building and occupancy permits issued must be for an
affordable dwelling.
15. The Applicant has agreed that to the extent permissible by law;to implement a local preference for up
to 70%of the affordable units for residents and employees within the Town of Barnstable.
16. According to the Department of Housing and Community Development, as of March 01, 2006,the
Town of Barnstable has a total of 1,381 affordable housing units. That represents 6.8% of the total
housing stock. The statutory requirement of MGL Chapter 40B,the Local Comprehensive Plan and
the Regional Policy Plan is to provide 10%of the housing stock as affordable housing units. The
Town has not reached that goal.
. 17. In view of the Town's current deficit for affordable housing units, the Applicant has been cooperative
in working with the negotiation team to craft a proposed development consistent with the local needs
for the Town of Barnstable.They also wanted to ensure the lonb semi affordability of units for
persons of low and moderate income. The Board.finds that this proposal set aside 31 units in
