PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING SKYVIEW ROAD SCATTERED SITE HOUSING Mr. White recapped circumstances of the offer of Peter Kelley, developer, to give the Town a 3- bedroom ranch style house to be moved to an appropriate.Town owned lot and added to the Town stock of affordable rental housing. Two possible sites for the house had been located and it had been determined that land at 31 Skyview Road was more ideally suited for the purpose than the other lot which is on Rangeway. Research into zoning aspects for the lot had presented no hindrance as the lot is a grandfathered building lot and it was found that the actual moving of the house for 500 feet could be accomplished with little difficulty. Easy access to water and sewer lines is also possible with removal of only two or three trees necessary. Some trees on the lot would have to be removed to construct a driveway. Total costs for the moving, renovation, connections for water /sewer and for driveway construction were estimated to be $44,000, or about one quarter �••• of the cost of building a similar house from scratch. Mr. White noted that all area residents had been invited to the Information Session by personal notification and that an ad had been published in the Lexington Minute -Man, informing the general public of the meeting. David Eagle, LexHAB member, reported that the $44,000 could be taken from LexHAB funds to be paid back by the subsidized rents collected and that LexHAB strongly supports the project. Mr. McSweeney commented on the excellent teamwork among those involved in the preparation of information relative to the project and complimented the Town Manager, Town Counsel, Engineering and Building Departments and LexHAB members for establishing procedures in such short order. 40 2- Mr. Eagle projected 'ected that the house could be in place and firmed up on a ,] foundation in about one month �' r of the Affordable Housing options Committee, commented William Spence g that the movie and reuse of the house represents one of the options to provide affordable housing which his committee is developing: that of existin modest housing within the Town. He reminded those preserving g� present of the Public Meeting sponsored by his committee With the Town Meeting Members Association on November 30, and urged their attendance. Spencer of the Affordable Housing options Committees commented William P that the moving and reuse of the house represen one of the options to provide affordable housing, which his committee is developing: that of. preserving reservin existing, modest housing within the 'town. He reminded those present of the Public meeting sponsored by his committee with the Town Meeting Members Association on November 30, in Estabrook Hall, and invited their M m attendance. Eli ot Schwartz representing Richard Schwartz, 33 Skyview Road, asked for consideration of his brother's request to be granted an easement over a por tion of the land at #31, for off - street parking of his three vehicles. _ Mr. White read a letter received on November 7, 1959, in which Mr. Schwartz expresses his strong opposition to the placement of low income housing next to his home, because of his fear that it would devalue his %N ow property his brother in which he asked Eliot Schwartz read another letter from that the lot on Rangeway be used for siting the house, and claiming that the Town taking of the Skyview lot for non payment of taxes had been defective* Mr. Cohen noted that in 1979, when federal and state funds had been received by the Housing Authority for the construction of 25 scattered site homes the Skyview lot had been one of those under consideration but, at that time the title to it could not be certified to the Housing Authority. The .lot has been listed as a town owned lot in the Assessors office since 1936. Mr. Cohen proposed that an article to take the lot by eminent domain be inserted in the Warrant for the 1990 Town Meeting to clear -up any title problems. Unlike the 1979 need to certify title to the Housing Authority, the Town does not need such certification. Mr. White said that the Rangeway lot is larger but is on a private way, which would involve high costs for upgrading of the road to Town standards. He added that the Skyview lot, which is identical to #33 Skyview, is clearly the better op tion for the siting of the house and that its construction is similar to others in the neighborhood. Elaine Marcus, 32 Skyview Road, expressed concerns about the visual imp act of a rental home on the neighborhood if the grounds and exterior are poorly maintained. Mr. Spencer reported that scattered site residents are made aware tha the y are responsible for the upkeep of property* and that the system seems b be working successfully. Mr. Eddison added that it has been the experience of the Town with f e4mw exceptions that scattered site housing lots have been maintained very well. Mrs. Marcus was also concerned with the number of cars the tenants might own and asked that consideration be given to Mr. Schwartz's request for an easement. Marcia Mitchell, 21 Skyview, asked about blasting during construction and Mr. Eagle responded that none is exDecteds 3 3r opeft Selectmen' Meeting -3-- 'November 13, 1989 Mr. White noted that due to the publicity about the proposed house :roving, the Town has had a number of other similar offers, which will be investigated. Mr. Dailey asked that neighbors be given assurance that their concerns will be recognized and suggested that any trees which have to be removed on the lot be replaced. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to accept the offer to the Town by Peter Kelley of the 3-bedroom ranch style home, to be moved from its present location on Volunteer dray to Lot 82 on Skyview Road. Mr. Kelley was thanked for his thoughtfulness in giving the house to the Town.
