1.Crosby Mansion Restoration and Preservation Project (P. 77): The Crosby Property
Committee/Town of Brewster are requesting $73,400 in historic funds for critical repairs to
windows, chimneys, walls, etc. of this historic mansion. The state owns the mansion and leases
it to the town which is responsible for rehab and ongoing maintenance.
As you are aware, CPA funds may be used to acquire, preserve, and rehabilitate historic
resources. The application materials submitted by the Crosby Property Committee and the Town
note that that the Crosby property and the Crosby Mansion are listed in the state’s Register of
Historic Places and Landscapes. CPA funds are being sought to repair the windows, roof and the
chimneys of the Mansion, whose deteriorated condition that allowed water to penetrate into and
cause damage to a building that is significant in the history of the Town and has architectural
significance. The funds will be used to repair the damage and to protect the building from future
harm by the elements. You have informed me that the state owns the Corby Property, but the
Town leases it from the state and is responsible for its maintenance.
The CPA allows funds to be used for the acquisition, preservation, and rehabilitation of historic
resources, but not for ordinary maintenance. “Preservation” is defined as work designed to
protect historic resources from injury or harm, and “rehabilitation” is defined as the making of
capital improvements or extraordinary repairs to real property that make the historic resource
functional for its intended purpose (“capital repairs”, in turn, is defined as making repairs or
improvements that are permanent in nature and appreciably adds to the useful life of the
property). In my opinion, since the work to be funded by the CPA will protect this historic and
historical building from injury and harm from the elements and makes permanent improvements
to the Mansion, the project constitutes the preservation and rehabilitation of a historic resource
and is eligible for funding under the CPA, provided that the work is done in accordance with the
Secretary of the Interior’s standards on historic rehabilitation. Since the property is owned by the
state, it is my opinion that the Town is not required to impose a historic preservation restriction on
the property (though the Town may ask the Commonwealth if it is willing to do so).
The CPA provides that real property interests acquired by the Town should be protected for a
minimum period of 30 years. Although the Town is not acquiring a restriction I note that the
Town’s lease of the property will terminate in 2028, and, since the Town has the right to extend
the lease for a 10-year term, the Town will have control of and can ensure that the unique historic
features of the Mansion will be protected for the next 17 years. Although not required, the Town
could consider asking the Commonwealth the right to extend the lease for 13 years (rather than
10), as the Town will thereby have control of the property for a 30 year term. It is also possible
that the property is already protected by a long-term historic preservation restriction, which, it is
lasts for another 30 years, may make the issue of extending the lease term moot.
2.Orleans Cape Cod Five Project is a request by developer Pennrose LLC for $100,000 of Brewster
CPA housing funds for the refurbishment of existing buildings and construction of new buildings
in Orleans into 62 family rental units including 52 affordable units and 10 middle income
workforce units. The application begins on page 4. I am mindful of prior regional projects
about the Brewster AHR requirements. I noted that under Item 3 CPA Goals, the applicant
states “as part of the sites proposal for State and Federal Funding the units will be deed
restricted for at least 40 years.”
As you are aware, the CPA permits funds to be used for the acquisition, creation, preservation,
and support of community housing, and for the rehabilitation of community housing only if such
housing was originally acquired or created using CPA funds. “Acquisition” includes the purchase
of land and/or interest in land, and the term “support” is defined in the CPA to include “but not be
limited to, programs that provide grants, loans, rental assistance, security deposits, interest-
rate write downs or other forms of assistance…to an entity that owns, operates or manages
such housing, for the purpose of making housing affordable.” “Rehabilitation” means the
making of capital or extraordinary repairs and/or improvements to real property. Finally,
“community housing” is defined in the CPA as housing for low and moderate income units. I note
that Pennrose LLC proposes to purchase the Cape Cod Five Cents Bank property in Orleans (the
“Property”), rehabilitate the existing bank building thereon, construct a new addition to the
building, and construct two new townhouses, which will result in the creation of 52 units of low
income housing and 10 units of moderate/workforce housing (the “Project”). Pennrose states that
the Project is intended to be restricted for a term of 40 years.
In my opinion, the Project is eligible for funding under the CPA as the Town will use CPA monies
to “support” the Project, that is, it will provide funds to an entity that will own the Property and/or
operate community housing, which Town funds, in addition to other funds, will make the Project
economically feasible and affordable to its occupants. In order to protect against claims that the
Town is providing public funds to a private party without public benefit, it is my opinion that the
Town should also acquire an affordable housing restriction on the Property, preserving its use for
low and moderate income housing. Any real property interest acquired with CPA funds must be
protected for a minimum period of 30 years. Since the restriction is proposed for a minimum term
of 40 years, the restriction would comply with the CPA’s requirements.
Note that DOR has advised that where rehabilitation is otherwise prohibited (because the
property was not acquired using CPA funds), rehabilitation cannot be permitted under the rubric
of other permitted uses – such as support, acquisition, or other permitted uses. For that reason, if
Pennrose expends CPA monies to purchase the Property, Penrose may use CPA funds also to
rehabilitate the existing bank building, as the Property will have been acquired using CPA funds,
in part. If other funds are used to purchase the Property, the CPA funds may be used to construct
the new construction and the townhouses, but not to rehabilitate the existing building. The grant
agreement that the Town enters into with Penrose can contain these conditions.
3.Housing Production Plan: The Town Administrator and Housing Office are requesting $25,000 in
housing funds for the Brewster Housing Production Plan update. The current plan expires on
June 29, 2022. Application begins on page 14.
In my opinion, the Town may use CPA funds to update its Housing Production Plan (the “Plan”),
as the purpose of the Plan is to create and support community housing. Specifically, the
application states that in updating the Plan, the Town will analyze the affordable housing needs of
the Town, conduct community outreach, prepare possible solutions to increasing the availability
of affordable housing in the Town, and detail implementation strategies. I note that many other
municipalities have used CPA funds for this purpose.
4.SSAL: Latham Centers Inc. is requesting $150,000 for the development of 7 affordable studio
apartments and a 1 bedroom apartment for live-in staff as part of its Strong Start in Adult Living
program. The property is located in Brewster. Application begins on page 46 with additional
information beginning on page 36.
The application submitted by Latham Centers states that it seeks CPA funds to develop 7 studio
apartments on its property at 1439 Main Street for occupancy by low-income individuals with
disabilities as part of its Strong Start in Adult Living (SSAL) Program (the “Project”). The Program
provides educational, social, mental, and/or physical support to young adults with disabilities,
including providing housing in the 7-unit group home for young adults with low incomes, to
prepare them to enter the workforce and live independently.
As mentioned previously, the Town may expend CPA funds to acquire, create, preserve and
support community housing, and to rehabilitate community housing acquired or created using
CPA funds. In my opinion, the Town may use CPA funds for the Project as it constitutes the
support of community housing, provided that it enters into a grant agreement with Latham
Centers, providing that the CPA funds may be used solely for the construction of the 7 studio
apartments (and not the other Project improvements). It is my recommendation that Town obtain
an affordable housing restriction on the property (for a term of at least 30 years) to ensure that
the studios are occupied by persons who have incomes not exceeding 80% of the area median
income and satisfy Anti-Aid Amendment concerns.
As always, thank you for your assistance. Please feel free to contact me or Beth Devine if you have
questions.
