Minor amendments to an approved site plan for Mattapoisett Landing were brought before the Planning Board at their scheduled meeting on Monday, December 5.
The site plan, originally approved after a public hearing process in 2006, includes 28 buildings for a 55 and over community. Brian Porter, representing Brophy and Philips, a Brockton developer, presented some of the minor changes, none of which prompted the need for further public notices because the changes actually reduced the scope of the project.
In the presentation, Mr. Porter showed that the footprint of each building had been reduced slightly and a roughly 600 square foot “clubhouse” for communal needs, which will include a unisex bathroom and a kitchenette, was detailed in the plans. Mr. Porter said that the project would stick to the original plans for duplexes and triplexes, but some driveway orientations had been changed.
Planning Board member Karen Field asked for details on landscaping, and Mr. Porter said that they would be continuing with a plan for a stone dust walk and three ring gardens.
The buildings will have town water and septic, said Mr. Porter, and the utilities are starting to be installed. “Now people can actually see something [developing],” he said.
“Keep us updated,” said Chairman Thomas Tucker.
The developer will have to come before the Board at a later date for an as-built approval.
