Measure: Affordable Housing Plan Budget Overview Committee Amendment
Lucia D. Jansen, Chairman of Budget Overview Committee, made a motion to amend Item No. 20 as follows: Add a paragraph on page 13 of the AHP below the header, "Future Development Infrastructure Considerations" and before the header, "Wastewater Treatment and Public Water Service": "Section 8-30g set-aside and assisted housing, together with Public Law 21- 29 accessory units, will have a material impact upon both the operating budget and the capital budget of the town in order to provide town services to the additional housing units. As discussed below, the existing sewage system is already constrained, and the cost of accommodating the additional flow may be cost prohibitive. Potable water service is already limited and faces cutbacks in dry periods. Roads and parking are already overwhelmed periodically by current usage. The town's school system is not equipped to address the influx of additional students from the potential material increase in housing units."
