Approve a letter of support for Solar Array Project at Cape Cod Country Club Held.
Amend the letter
To amend the letter. Mr. Johnson-Staub stated this is time sensitive, the applicant hoped to get it a couple weeks ago. Land Use staff group met with the applicant, the applicant said the owner was choosing to retain the property originally planned to donate it. It is their land and they can decide what they sell or don't sell. Ms. Scott Price noted the letter says it was considered it in this letter. Mr. Johnson-Staub said there is land included in the parcel to be transferred to the Town as now supposed; with no conservation restriction and would be available for affordable housing. The Town is not paying anything to purchase this land. The highest investment use is housing, from an appraised value. This is a good time for golf, there have been ups and downs in golf interest. Golf courses across the country and in this region have gone out of business, but it is a good thing for the profitability of the other courses. The property is being sold as land, not as a golf course. To support the letter with amendment that the town expresses a strong preference to include the parcel that was previously included, but removed, re: the land previously granted to the town.
