The Town of Sudbury Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) is seeking technical assistance in evaluating a housing development application which has been submitted under M.G.L. Chapter 40B. The evaluation of this development by a consultant will focus on review of the financial pro-forma and conditions that allow the project to continue and not make it uneconomic. The application under consideration is a 6.02 acre parcel of land located on Old County Road in Sudbury, Assessor’s Map K11, Parcels 202 and 022. A development plan for 40 attached condominium units has been submitted to the ZBA, and 3 hearings have been held. The public hearing is currently still open for comments. The full application file may be reviewed in the office of the Town Clerk, 322 Concord Road, Sudbury, MA during normal business hours.
The scope of review will include the following items:
1. Review pro-forma and inform the ZBA on any inaccuracies, clarification needs or necessary supplemental information.
2. Advise the Board on financial issues that relate to the application, including the profitability of the project.
3. Advise the Board on whether the proposed density of the project is necessary to ensure that the project remains economic.
4. Advise the Board on whether potential conditions would render the project uneconomic.
5. Must be able to attend up to three Zoning Board nightly meetings throughout the application hearing process and including the drafting of the decision.
