Milton Select Board Discusses Housing Reassessment to Comply with Mass Housing Regulations
- Meeting Overview:
During the latest meeting of the Milton Select Board, members addressed a reassessment of units at the condominium complex on Blue Parkway to meet Mass Housing requirements. The reassessment involved swapping the classification of four units to ensure an even distribution of affordable housing throughout the complex. Specifically, units 40 and 48 were reclassified as affordable, while units 26 and 38 were designated as market-rate. This adjustment was necessary to avoid any violations of Mass Housing regulations, which mandate that affordable units be dispersed evenly rather than clustered.
The board confirmed that the reassessment had been approved by the planning department, although there was a delay in receiving the notification. The process requires both the planning department and Mass Housing to approve the reclassification. It was noted that the individuals selected through the housing lottery must now secure mortgage approval to proceed with their purchases.
In addition, the board briefly discussed pending matters related to the financing and closing of the reassessed units. The conversation touched on ongoing discussions with financial institutions and the need for further approvals to finalize the transactions.
