The property is a 2 +/- acre parcel with approximately 614 +/- ft of frontage with no existing curb cuts on Stepping Stones Road. It is a portion of the Town-owned Monomoy Regional Middle School parcel identified in the Town of Chatham Assessor's records as Parcel 12G-0-11, with the subject portion being bounded by the Rail Trail forming an arc to the west, north and east, and Stepping Stones Road, which is a Town road, to the south. The 2023 Annual Town Meeting body voted affirmatively to exclude that portion of the property from the premises leased to the Monomoy Regional School District and to designate its use for the development of affordable and/or attainable housing. The property is wooded, with a knoll located on the southwest portion of the site. The topography slopes fairly steeply down toward the Rail Trail at the rear of the site. Town water is available, and there are three fire hydrants in the vicinity of the parcel. There is a sewer manhole located at the western portion of the site, which is the high point of the property, with flow heading west. There is potential to tie into this existing sewer on Stepping Stones Road with gravity flow from development on the western portion of the parcel. The manhole rim elevation is 70.58' and the invert out is at 60.85' The eastern portion of the parcel is at a lower elevation and would require a pump conveyance system to connect to the existing sewer on Stepping Stones Road. The parcel is currently zoned Municipal (M), which does not allow for the development of housing. Adjacent zoning consists of three different residential zoning districts and densities. The Town anticipates that the developer will pursue a Comprehensive Permit under M.G.L. Chapter 40B. The site has not been surveyed or recorded as a separate parcel. Developer will be responsible for all surveying costs and the ANR for the property.
