Mitigation <br />1.1. full mitigation (MWRA Buy-In) as proposed in 40b, without discount for <br />affordables. <br />1.2. will want full traffic mitigation (signalization at Willow, West and Summer/overlay <br />and one-side sidewalk from signal to entrance) <br />2. Site Layout <br />2.1. The representation made to the Town when the rezoning took place was that these <br />would all be 2 BR "cottages" at 6 units per acre. Therefore, the existence in the plan <br />of 3 BR units and of apartment flats is contrary to what was "sold" to the Town. We <br />should stick with a plan consistent-with what was presented.- - - <br />2.2. The affordable housing should be spread throughout the site in the different types <br />and sizes of units. <br />2.3. would like breakout of open space <br />
