When will the Town see the actual wording for the proposed bylaw for HCA developments?On Nov 21, 2023, at 1:34 PM, Margaret Olson <s...@margaretolson.com> wrote:
Assuming we are going to comply, the HCA zoning must be in place by December 2024. After the TM vote we need final approval from the state EOHLC and from the Attorney General. The March TM deadline gives us time for a special TM if we either have a problem with EOHLC or if the HCA zoning amendment fails. The HCA proposals are submitted to the state for preliminary approval, but this preliminary step does not include the final zoning by-law wording. It is a "courtesy review" of the basic approach - setbacks, heights, zones, etc. It does not include all the incorporated regulations applicable to residential buildings in Lincoln, let alone the restrictions we were discussing at last night's meeting to ensure that the modeled density matches what can be legally built.

Regarding the Housing choice decision, I submitted the same question twice to the HCAWG. It was apparently sent to J.Glass, T. Higgins, J. Hutchinson and K. Bodner. To date, the only answer I received was the “my feedback will be shared”.As an almost 50 year resident of Lincoln, I am disappointed and dismayed that my question has been disregarded.
The question I posed was:
I recall at some point hearing that a decision must be made by the town by December 2024. Is that the case, and, if so, why do we seem to be under pressure to make a decision now?
This seems to me to be a factual question. Prior to voting,I am hoping to receive an answer with no bias or agenda - just a straight forward answer.
Thanks to all.
