Site Details

Who owns the property?

What would it take to get site control to a developer to build homes on it through this program? How long might that take?

What is the approximate size of the property in acres?

How many single-family lots can fit on this property under the applicable zoning and subdivision rules?

Does the site have even grading and little to no slope? If the site does not have even grading, could even grading be achieved at minimal cost?

Does the property have access to both public water and wastewater systems? If you know how far the mains are from the property boundary, please indicate.

Does the property have access to electricity through an established power company? If you know how close the power lines are to the property boundary, please indicate.

Does the property have access to phone and internet connections through an established telephone and internet service provider?

Are there any obstacles that would make it difficult for a crane to reach the site from an Interstate Highway exit and lower a home onto the site?

Is the site in a flood zone? How much of it, and does this include the area where you would intend to place homes?

Are wetlands present on the site or an adjacent parcel? If so, describe the type of wetland and explain how it affects the ability to place homes on the site.

What is the width of the property in feet?

For purposes of this response, the property's width is generally the same number of feet as its main road frontage. If the entire width does not have road frontage, indicate how much road frontage it has.

What is the approximate depth of the parcel in feet?

For purposes of the response, the depth of the parcel represents the length of the parcel from the road to the back of the property line.

What are the advantages of the site, if any, from the perspective of a future homebuyer?

What are the disadvantages of the site, if any, from the perspective of a future homebuyer?

Who owns the land currently? If you own the land, was it acquired through tax title? Are there any hurdles to transferring the land to a developer and ultimately a homeowner in a short timeframe?

If the land has a cost, how much would you estimate the cost might be?

As explained above, this program would likely target households earning 70%-130% AMI, to what extent would your community seek to further subsidize the unit by utilizing local funding (e.g. municipal affordable housing trust fund) to restrict households to a particular AMI, term of years, or in perpetuity?

Would you waive (or otherwise pay for, at no cost to the family) the connection fees for water and/or wastewater service? If any connection fees for water and/or wastewater will be assessed, approximately how much will they be?

What else can you tell us about the site that would help us understand the potential benefits and challenges of including it in a Move-In MA pilot?
