Recently, the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency (MassHousing) has received several Comprehensive Site Approval Applications for development projects in Milton. The Select Board will take comment on the site approval applications at their meetings in March according to the following schedule.

• Wednesday, March 11 Select Board Meeting (Council on Aging, 10 Walnut Street, 7pm):
  • 582 Blue Hill Ave
  • Residences at East Milton
• Wednesday, March 25 Select Board Meeting (Council on Aging, 10 Walnut St, 7pm):
  • 648 Canton Avenue

The Select Board is seeking comment on the following three areas of concern:

1. Whether the site of the proposed project is appropriate for residential development, taking into consideration information provided by municipal parties regarding actions previously taken to provide affordable housing needs;
2. Whether the conceptual design is generally appropriate for the site on which it is located, taking into consideration factors such as the proposed use, the conceptual site plan, building massing, topography, environmental resources, and integration into the existing development patterns;
3. Whether the proposed project appears financially feasible within the housing market in which it is sited.
