Conceptual Review
Crane View Place/off Beaver Dam Road
Loring Tripp recused himself from this review and left the room.
Atty. Edward Angley presented a revised conceptual review for a project on Beaver Dam Road. The project would rehabilitate three existing duplex units and construct six additional duplex units with an affordable housing component. The project is a VOSD with a transfer of development rights from the Bartlett property.
Bill Forniciari, Forniciari and Noseworthy Architects, stated that the Bartlett house, (Lots 10 and 11) on Bartlett Road was built in 1660 and destroyed in a fire recently. The owner would like to restore the house and preserve as much land as possible. They would approach the Community Preservation Committee for CPA funds to restore the house and would transfer the development rights from the remaining property to the project on Beaver Dam Road.
Jon Henson stated that the project includes two sites; one historic and one at the intersection of Beaver Dam Road and Minuteman Lane, in the Manomet Village Center. There is a potential for open space links along Minuteman Lane into the Pinehills and along Beaver Dam Road to the cranberry bogs. Mr. Henson stated that the existing duplex structures are not in good condition. The 1.96 acre site is relatively flat, does not have a lot of vegetation, and has good sight lines. There are no wetland issues or habitat areas on the site. Mr. Henson reviewed three scenarios for the project.
Atty. Edward Angley informed the Board that the applicant is looking at thirty percent of the project being affordable housing, with the historic parcel as the open space.
Nicholas Filla suggested that a combination of age restricted housing and affordable housing would work on the site. He suggested making any age restricted units one bedroom.
Larry Rosenblum preferred the second scenario presented, as did the applicant.
Paul McAlduff felt that the project was too dense for the site.
Pierre Coll stated that he would like to focus on providing affordable housing.
Malcolm MacGregor was concerned with the density on the site.
Larry Rosenblum encourage the applicant to continue working on the project and suggested that he work with the neighbors to create a cohesive project.
The Board looks forward to further review of the project.

Mark Casey, South Shore Survey; suggested that a T turnaround could be designed instead of the cul-de-sac.
Nicholas Filla stated that a twelve foot road is too narrow and suggested that sixteen feet would be the minimum.
Malcolm MacGregor supported the sixteen-foot roadway.
