Harwich Housing Committee Meeting
CALL TO ORDER
The September 27, 2016 Joint meeting of the Harwich Housing Committee and the Harwich Housing Authority was called to order at 6:30 p.m. Members present: Claudia Williams, Julie Eldredge, Art Bodin, and Cindi Maule. (the members of the Housing Committee Board) Judith Underwood, Sandra Woodbridge and Randall Pond. (the members of the Housing Authority Board). Also present: John Stewart Director of the H.H.A., Leedara Zola from Habitat, as well as a number of citizens.
After each of the Boards took a roll call and established that they had a Quorum present we opened our Joint Meeting of the two boards. At that point Leedara Zola was asked to make her presentation concerning 93 and 97 Route 28. (the HECH property). After her presentation the meeting was open for questions from the Boards and the audience. Randy Pond asked about the septic systems “Would they be shared or individual systems.” He pointed out that shared systems would be less expensive to tie into the sewer system when the time comes. Leedara said that that is something they will keep in mind as the project goes forward, but for the most part Habitat tries to keep things separate. Judith Underwood asked how the Deed Restriction worked and wether tis would be a Private or Public road. After explaining the Deed Rider, Leedara went on to say that at this time this would be a private road and the responsibly of the Home Owners Association that would be set up. Don Howell stated that if the road is built to town specifications it is more than likely if asked the town would take the road. Both boards thought that would be best. There were no more questions from either of the Boards or the audience so the Boards voted.
