Dear Craig,
Attached is a sketch of a 72-unit senior housing project within the Fairfield Professional Office
subdivision on Bay Road. In order to accommodate 72 units, the building, along with the representative
area providing the density for a project of this magnitude, must encroach within the current 600-foot
setback from Bay Road. Seventy-two units is a project size that appears more economically viable than
the 27-unit project approved several years ago by the Town (27 unit approved plan attached for reference)
This layout preserves 3 commercial lots along/near Bay Road, following the intent of the current zoning
ordinance. The design also shows that parking could be expanded as needed to accommodate more
demand, whereas if the parking is never needed, the area could be preserved as green space. Lastly, the
area south of Baybridge Drive would largely be green space, except for one commercial lot along Bay
Road, and the green space could be used by tenants in the project, or, if advantageous, dedicated to the
Town as a small park or wetland overlook.
We understand that there may be support within the Town for a zone change or an area variance to allow a
project of this type/magnitude, and we wish to initiate the review process by attending a Planning Board
meeting to discuss the project. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us at 518-792-2907 or
via email at tjarrett@jarrettengineers.com.
Sincerely,
JARRETT Engineers, PLLC
