You and I may be among the few planners on this list who actually
remember all the people listed on the credits page! LOL<br>

You guys had someone on staff whose job was <span style="font-weight:

Programs in Massachusetts</p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p
class="MsoNormal">Going into the wayback machine, When we were working
on impact fees at MAPC in the mid-80’s Lauren Popp in Medford smartly
filed a home rule petition that got through the legislature before most
understood what was going on. So, Medford has specific authorization
for impact fees, they are a little bit different from linkage fees.
Franklin attempted to file the exact same home rule petition about a
year later, and at that point the committee said they would prefer to do
it all at once. It got caught up in Zoning Reform after that, and is
still not in place.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p
class="MsoNormal">The Cape Cod Commission Act specifically authorizes
impact fees as well for a community with an approved Local Comprehensive
Plan, so, Barnstable is only comparable to Medford in that any impact
fee they might have has legislative authority.<o:p></o:p></p><p
class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Boston had
linkage fees in the 80’s, there is a court case on their program
involving, if I remember correctly their requirement for fire equipment
for a high-rise. As Boston is not covered in by Chapter 40A, most
communities cannot follow their guidance beyond the principles in the
court case about direct impacts.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p
class="MsoNormal">When I was at MAPC we had done some work with a few
communities on tying exactions to Special Permits, as Special Permits
grant the property owner rights above basic zoning, the idea was to
connect the increase in density to a fee/exaction to cover
infrastructure needed to support the development. Long time ago now, I
was with the North Shore Task Force and we had discussions with Peabody
and possibly Gloucester, but not sure if either had done anything while I
was at MAPC. I believe we also did something for Ashland and MAPC might
still be able to lay their hands on that. At the time Steve Kerlin was
the planner in Ashland and he was very cutting edge on what he pursued
with the Town.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p
class="MsoNormal">I thought I had electronic copies of the impact fee
reports I did for MAPC but cannot lay my hands on them at the moment.
MAPC might be able to look for the Impact Fee Primer I did, three
volumes, and other reports. I know after I left Lori Prew continued to
work with the legislature and others on this issue until she left MAPC.<o:p></o:p></p><p
class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I can try to
dredge more up from the cobwebs of my memory if you had any other
questions. Unfortunately, don’t know who has adopted much of this since
the mid 90’s.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p

Linkage Fee Programs in Massachusetts</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p
class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p><p
class="MsoNormal">I am trying to do some research on existing linkage
fee programs in Massachusetts and am hoping to generate a list of
communities that have adopted such requirements. For the purpose of this
question, a linkage fee would be set forth in a by-law/ordinance and
require non-residential developments to pay a fee that gets collected
into a trust and used for affordable housing (and potentially other
uses) – kind of like inclusionary zoning but for non-residential uses.
If your community has a linkage program or you know of a community with a
linkage program, please let me know. My list already includes Boston,
Cambridge, Somerville, Watertown, Everett, Medford, Gloucester, and
Barnstable. Though I’m still trying to confirm Medford and Gloucester…<o:p></o:p></p><p
