Stakeholder Input – Round TwoSuggestions made at First Public Presentation:• Generally supportive of ideas proposed (preservation, mixed use, etc.)• Support for museum idea, could have more regional focus (Iron Trail of SE Mass)• Preserve blacksmith and tool shops – possible demonstrations, relation with Tremont Nail Co.• Utilize Metal Building for affordable artist studios, or larger events in inclement weather• Kayak Launch should include a dock, when tide is low current launch is inaccessible• Need to repair Dam• Relation to Merchant’s Way – distinct approach here so as to compliment, not compete

Suggestions made via coUrbanize website: (87 comments and counting!)• Generally supportive of ideas proposed• Include a mix of uses accessible to all residents of Wareham:

• Waterfront restaurant(s)• Microbrewery• Museum(s) – factory, region, children• Artist/Maker/Shared Office spaces• Exhibit Space

• Be sure to preserve the historic character of the site• Launch point for boat tours about history of river• Take advantage of rail access, trolley to downtown• Need to repair Dam• Need to remediate contamination• Consider relocating the Metal Building

• Farmers’ Markets / Arts & Crafts Shows• Paddlesports/Fishing Rentals• Recreation Center• Indoor Dog Park• Community Gardens/Farming

Feasibility Analysis

Regulatory Issues

Redevelopment is possible, but there is a process, and it will take time…

• Site includes Wetlands, Riverfront Area, and Salt Marshes – required buffers, limits and review• Due to existing conditions/disturbance, there is some flexibility/exemptions possible• Both state and local requirements/review needed

• Portions of site are within FEMA flood zone – limits, flood insurance and management issues• Redevelopment of existing structures in flood zone limited to 50% of appraised value –

will likely require incremental improvements (and patience) over a stretch of time• Potential new development area is above/close to being above flood zone

• Site is not listed as a Rare Species Habitat

• Site has access to Utilities like public water and sewer, as well as electric and gas

• Redevelopment will utilize best practices for mitigation, tuned to this site, as it relates to Erosion and Sediment Control during site redevelopment…

… and integrated, low-impact Stormwater Management as part of the final design

Market Feasibility

• Market feasibility - a real estate development perspective (“finance-ability”)

• Macro/regional – activity in the Cape, Plymouth County and the Southcoast

• Local data – existing studies, survey of available properties and developer input

• Stakeholder input – wants and needs

• Practical, balanced approach - goal is implementable framework to establish vision

Preliminary Concepts

“This density is too high...”

Option A: Single, Large Multifamily Building

Preliminary Concepts

“This density is too low…”

Option B: Multiple, Small Single Family Buildings

Preliminary Concepts

“This density is just right!”

Option C: Multiple, Small Multifamily Buildings

Preliminary Concepts

“This option also seems reasonable as a short term means of generating income to offset needed improvements to help create long term viability…”

Option D: Keep the Metal Building

Preliminary Concepts

“This option also seems reasonable as a short term means of generating income to offset needed improvements to help create long term viability…”

Option D: Keep the Metal Building

Potential to build first new building in vacant corner of site
