Yarmouth Affordable Housing Trust endorses memo supporting Habitat for Humanity Chapter 40B petition for South Yarmouth site
Summary
The Trust approved a memorandum supporting Habitat for Humanity's Chapter 40B comprehensive permit petition for a Wood Road neighborhood property at 1121 Route 28, South Yarmouth, and directed submission of the memo to the Zoning Board of Appeals ahead of the June 25 hearing.
The Town of Yarmouth Affordable Housing Trust reviewed and approved a draft memorandum supporting Habitat for Humanity's petition for a Chapter 40B comprehensive permit for a proposed Wood Road neighborhood development at 1121 Route 28, South Yarmouth. The Trust approved sending the memorandum to the Zoning Board of Appeals; the petition was listed for a ZBA hearing on June 25, 2026.
The minutes record that staff prepared a draft memo in support of the development and the Trust voted to forward that memo to the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Trust's action was recorded as an advisory submission to the ZBA; the Trust does not have final permitting authority over Chapter 40B petitions.
Trust members also received updates on other projects, including an Affordable Housing Acquisition RFP issued on June 8 with responses due July 15 and a note that activity on conversions and preservation at specific addresses (282 Winslow Gray Road and 61 Witchwood Road) is on hold.
Next steps: the Zoning Board of Appeals hearing is the procedural venue for the Chapter 40B petition; the Trust's memorandum will be part of the record submitted to the ZBA.
