Project Elements • 28 Single Family homes ✓ Acreage: between ½ and ¾ • 14 Townhouses ✓ Will list under $400K ✓ Dedicated to 1 st time homebuyers and empty nesters • Open Space and Preservation ✓ 31 deed restricted acres (total site=54 acres) • Energy and Environmental Building ✓ Energy Star 3.1 ✓ Over 50% on site renewable (solar flower and/or roof- mounted PV’s)
Townhouses • Will be sold below market • 10 units at $389K • 4 units at $359K • Qualified buyers are either a first time homebuyer who has worked on MV full time, year round for a minimum of 5 years OR someone 60 years of age that has resided on MV full time for 15+ years • Two units constructed and made available for every 5 SF homes sold on the open market • Deed restricted in perpetuity
Key Peer Review Findings • Load estimates for year round occupied 3800 sq ft. house are plausible • Load estimates for seasonal use, which include 400 sq ft. bedroom & pool found to be low • Electric w/ propane back up (as proposed) vs. All electric (w/ heat pumps) * All Electric design reduces GHG emissions, and grid supply sources trend cleaner each year * Annual heating and cooling costs are similar, and up front installation costs for both designs are competitive • Smart Flower production estimates believed to be somewhat optimistic, though Applicant provided a letter from Smart Flower stating the projections are ground truthed • Warranties for Smart Flowers well below industry standard as compared to other premium solar products.

MVC Built Environment Policy 7 Main Aspects • Historic Preservation • Community Character • Green Building • Universal Design • Impacts on Abutters and the Public • Archeology • Building Resilience
MVC Built Environment Policy Community Character Focus: character by ensuring that new construction is compatible with existing areas road issue of maintaining general neighborhood & Island Green Building Focus: increasing efficiency with which new & existing buildings use resources such as energy, water, and materials, while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment Universal Design Focus: designing buildings and settings so they can be used by people with limited mobility Impacts on Abutters and the Public Focus: mitigating light, noise, construction, & other impacts of buildings on abutters & the general public
