Accessibility was a major concern as the Select Board on Monday hosted the first presentation on a 24-unit rental development at 330 South Road that is being proposed as a local initiative project (LIP).
“We are good to move forward with continuing this process,” said Chair Margot Fleischman. “I feel what the Select Board is charged to do is determine the value of this development to the community. I know there is a lot of public interest.”
The property owners, Steven and Jennifer Soillis, want to convert a house and two barns into 18 housing units and add a structure with an additional six dwelling units, replacing garages and other outbuildings.
The LIP is often called a “friendly 40B,” after the state law that allows proposals with 25 percent of the units designated as affordable to waive zoning considerations. If the Select Board cosponsors the plan, it will require only approval by the Zoning Board of Appeals and the state Department of Housing and Community Development. The plan as constituted cannot be approved under current zoning.
The Massachusetts Senate has voted to approve its version of the state budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1st. The Senate plan preserves and expands access to essential funding, including public health initiatives, at a time when the state continues to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
