Housing Advisory Commission
Date January 24, 2022
Re: HAC recommends approval of the proposed affordable housing
overlay district known as Cutchoge Woods; located on Rt. 48 Cutchogue.
Dear Supervisor Russell and members of the town board.
Housing Advisory Commission (HAC) met on January 18, 2022 and
February 15, 2022 and reviewed the proposed affordable housing complex
located on Rt. 48 in Cutchogue.
The Affordable Housing Advisory Commission has reviewed the
preliminary plans and met with the partners in the proposed project
reviewing both the proposed project and the ownerships track record in
developing and maintaining affordable housing developments. The HAC
supports the preliminary plans and recommends the Town Board approve the
Affordable Housing Overlay District. The proposed location is a good location
for affordable housing. Rt. 48 is a main road and 24 rental homes will not
have any affect on traffic. The parcel is a wooded parcel and the applicant can
develop the rear of the parcel so there is not a visible change to the character
of the neighborhood.
The HAC requests that the town board ask the developer to service as
many area median income limits as possible. There is a need for housing for
individuals and families who qualify for the 60% area median income, 80%
area median income and 100% area median income.
The HAC looks forward to continued review of the project as the
applicants further develop and implement their plans.
