As a member of the Maurice’s Campground Planning Committee (MCPC), I understand
a lot of the feelings and opinions people hold concerning the master plan and the
process for developing this parcel. However, many of Eric Schwaab’s posts and the
comments posted in response to them contain important factual errors… I would like to clarify several key factual
points.

Look at zoning reform.  With one hand we use it to encourage new housing production while the other attempts to protect an undefinable sense of community character and prevent it.  We ask developers, who must meet lenders minimum returns, to pay for a long list of community benefits that once upon a time were funded by property taxes and we know will make projects fiscally impossible.  We expect designers to somehow make everyone happy by creating buildings that are beautiful, energy efficient, and resilient- yet somehow cheap enough to keep rents low.

A lower-stakes but equally false rumor surfaced here this month when Wellfleet officials toured the new affordable apartments at Lawrence Hill with the developers. A total of 292 households had entered the lottery for the 46 units, and select board chair John Wolf said he had heard that very few people from Wellfleet had won an apartment.

In fact, said Jay Coburn of the Community Development Partnership, 75 of the applicants live or work in town or have children at Wellfleet Elementary — more than enough to fill the 21 units reserved under the state’s “local preference” rules.
