Housing committee reviews Raptor Lane plan: engineers list about 105 units; soil tests to inform septic
Summary
Consultant Enman-Kesselring updated the Raptor Lane concept plan; test pits and soil testing will determine septic feasibility and likely reduce the preliminary 105-unit estimate, and the town plans required RTE studies and phased permitting.
The Housing Committee reported that consultant Enman-Kesselring (EK) has updated the concept housing plan for Raptor Lane and will use soil testing and test pits to refine septic design and total unit count. The minutes record that test pits were dug by E&K and that soil testing is scheduled for mid-September to guide feasibility and permitting.
Under the current redesign the plan enumerates 24 duplexes, 5 multi-family buildings and 22 single-family homes—"105 units total," the minutes state—though engineers expect the count will decline during permitting. The committee listed next steps including finalizing a housing capacity study and maps, getting design/permitting cost estimates from EK, hiring an architect for unit models, and conducting Rare/Threatened/Endangered (RTE) species studies required for permitting. The minutes also note the town expects grant opportunities (roughly 50% cost-share up to $1,000,000) that could underwrite infrastructure work.
