even a single word of our town's zoning code, the town would

problematic. <br>

the development of the regulations EOHLC held several
webinars that I attended. They presented what they wanted to
present, answered a few <u>hand-picked questions</u> from
the chat, then ended the webinar. At no time did I see them
answer live questions from the audience or react to
comments; nor did they answer the questions I emailed to
them. This business of having listening-only sessions
doesn’t cut it. Like many of us who have been before town
meetings explaining our work and engaging with the public,
that agency never put itself in a position where it had to
defend its work in real time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The new EOHLC regulations are a double whammy
for towns. Not including small ADUs as
affordable (or even as half an affordable
unit), does nothing for the numerator in the
SHI 10% calculation; while counting these
little units as full market-rate dwellings
bumps up the denominator. End result is towns
that add desired ADUs only fall farther behind
in attempting to reach their affordable
housing goals.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span
style="color:black;background:yellow">last
question</span>. Our Counsel opined that
only one Protected Use ADU per legal lot
can be established, so if the condo was on
one lot and had 20 units, only one ADU
would be permitted. Of course, the Condo
R&Rs would need some level of
specificity (likely lacking now) that
would facilitate how that could be done.
They also deemed the “primary dwelling” to
be the largest of the buildings on the
lot. I am not sure of that rationale, but
hopefully we keep this analysis and
discussion going.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
