Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

The difference is quality. Lincoln is “protected” not only by prior land use measures, but also by the significant presence of notable architectural and planning professionals among its residents—a sub-community whose members salvaged and shaped the school design process. If that sub-community o

Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

Developers want to have a successful project and potential buyers or tenants want parking. The issue will not be getting developers to provide adequate parking but rather preventing them from coating the lot in wildly excessive amounts of asphalt. On Tue, Oct 3, 2023 at 11:46 PM ٍSarah Postlethwa

Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

While we are on the subject of density- is there a limit from the HCA for parking required in the new zoning? Why are we only requiring 1 parking space per unit instead of 1 per bedroom in each of the proposed zoning areas. Generally even 1 bedroom units will be shared among 2 people (especially

Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

Sad to say the congestion ship has already sailed as people have been forced, due to the high cost of housing, to move further and further from work only to spend hours in their cars commuting each day. Many of them cutting through Lincoln. Many people who work in Lincoln cannot afford to live he

Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

Margaret - Can you give us the same calculation but use sq feet instead of units? Perhaps the units are a lot smaller at Lincoln Woods? What is the sq ft per acre (net) at Lincoln woods vs Oriole Landing? I still believe we are looking at a bunch of Oriole Landings (nice buildings on their own ac

Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

The net density shown on the HCA working group slides is this math: (unit count) / (lot size- wetlands - conservation restrictions) = "HCA density" (unit count) / (lot size) = traditional net density For Oriole landing these numbers are: (60 acre lot)/ (6 acre lot - 0 wetlands acres - 0 acres wi

Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

Would it be ok if I called Utile? Can someone provide me a contact? Sorry but am dubious that Lincoln Woods (2 stories) with some gaps between structures is higher “net” density than Oriole Landing (3 stories) with net density of 10 per the presentation. If you don’t explain, we should all be in d

Any developer would be responsible for providing septic. The water board has told the working group (I believe with a letter) that we have adequate water. On Tue, Oct 3, 2023 at 7:27 PM Susanna Szeto wrote: > Developer’s main purpose is to make money in developing the land. Has > anyone conside

The RLF will be providing illustrations of their proposed development of the mall before town meeting. That is where we will be zoning 25 units per acre of mixed use. On Tue, Oct 3, 2023 at 5:59 PM ٍSarah Postlethwait wrote: > The highest density provided in that presentation is 18.5 units per a

Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

I think it's also important to realize that the historical process for town engagement will also exclude many, if not all projects that would be beneficial to Lincoln Station. The "control" that exhibits itself through town meetings and votes is a huge risk factor for developers who could lose sign

Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

The highest density provided in that presentation is 18.5 units per acre. Do you have an example of what 25 units per acre mixed use zoning, as proposed for Lincoln center, would look like? Thanks Sarah Postlethwait Lewis Street On Tue, Oct 3, 2023 at 3:38 PM Margaret Olson wrote: > We are prot

Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

That article uses a somewhat different definition of gross density and refers to the state’s highly complicated set of calculations. Any zoning regulation we pass will be net density, as are our current zoning bylaws. Utile, the consultants we hired to help us with this ( using state grant money) h

Re: [LincolnTalk] 15 units per acre (Gross)

This will all become irrelevant. What the rezoning will do is reduce the ability of all that talent to have ANY influence. This rezoning allows developers to do what they please, within certain zoning constraints. This rezoning creates BY-RIGHT zoning in the parcels under consideration. The wis

I had the good fortune of attending the tour of Lincoln Woods put on by FOMA yesterday after taking part in the State of the Town Meeting on Saturday. See: https://www.fomalincoln.org/outreach This densely built, multi-family development is anything but "gross." In fact, I think it is quite the

OK-can someone do that for the proposed area in S.Lincoln? The example offered by Robert Albert was alarming, and certainly NOT something I would like to see. Had I had such a visual at SoTT, I would voted for “None of the Above”, but would have indicated I would support a map that shrank the siz
