Atty. Richard Serkey presented the request for a special permit to convert the “Ryder Home” from elderly housing to affordable housing. There was a deeded condition that if the Ryder House closed its doors, the property would revert to the Plymouth Fragment Society (PFS). The PFS has signed a purchase and sale agreement contingent upon whether the change of use from a seven bedroom (10 bed) elderly housing to a four unit affordable housing complex and a waiver of parking is granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals. The affordable housing would have a perpetual restriction and would be created in part through a loan from the Affordable Housing Trust. The exterior of the buildings will not be changed. Atty. Serkey noted that the Plymouth Center Steering Committee reviewed the project and were supportive.
Valerie Massard noted that the existing building is surrounded by the Spring Hill apartment complex and other residences. The original section of the building was built in 1700 with an addition constructed in 1850. There is public water, sewer and street access with adequate parking along the street. The petition is requesting a reduction of five parking spaces.
Tim Grandy moved to recommend approval to the Zoning Board of Appeals subject to the following conditions:
Prior to a Building Permit for new construction, the Department of Public works shall be provided construction plans for review of utilities, including water and sewer, and shall have signed off on such plans evidencing their approval on the Building Permit application.
A Street Opening permit is required prior to opening a public street for construction purposes.
Prior to Occupancy, evidence of the recording of appropriate documentation creating the perpetual affordable status of the units shall be provided in a form acceptable to the Director of Inspectional Services (Building Commissioner), with review by the Office of Community Development.
The vote was unanimous (4-0).
