According to Kathy Bartolini, director of planning and economic development for the town, the additional units would have "major traffic implications." Rather than do an analysis on the immediate environs of the project, as is standard, the town wants National Development to do a study on the "whole sector of the community."
Bartolini points out that National Development has not officially filed its proposal with the town yet but has made presentations to the planning board and the board of selectmen. The 170-acre pit on which it wants to develop--and which Bartolini says National Development has acquired--is zoned for a planned unit development but requires a 10% affordable housing component. As part of the plan, 40 acres would remain as open space.
