Applicant outlines unit mix, materials and storage for 809 Sandwich Road duplexes
Summary
Architectural presentation described 36 units in duplex buildings (mix of 2‑ and 3‑bedrooms), wood construction with white cedar shingles and private garages; applicant provided dimensions for bedrooms, porches and garages and noted units will be all‑electric with mini‑split systems.
The applicant presented architecture slides showing duplex buildings modeled on a North Falmouth project: each two‑unit building contains one 3‑bedroom unit (about 1,350 sq ft) and one 2‑bedroom unit (about 1,200 sq ft), with private, direct‑entry garages. The applicant said units will be all‑electric and use mini‑split heating/cooling systems.
Detailed dimensions were provided: example bedroom measurements (13'7" x 12'10"), garage depth (~19'2") and porch sizes (front porch ~8'6" x 17'6"). The architect said porch and deck materials will be composite; the team noted interior storage/closet areas are included and that driveway depths vary slightly for the front row. The board and public asked clarifying questions on storage, driveway lengths and whether condominium conversion was a future option; the applicant said condominiumization was a possible exit strategy but not current plan.
