scenario 1: decentralization

sewer: minimal change

Continue development of Chestnut Green area by relocating Foxborough Town Hall there.

Route 1 will continue along current development patterns.

• Buffer stadium uses

• Current sewer service remains unchanged; growth is limited by cur-rent treatment capacity and private control unused allocations

• Relocate Town Hall to Chestnut Green

• Continues residential growth trend in the R-40, more “rural” sections of Town due to limited sewer capacity at the center.

• Trend to build and operate business at the perimeter continues

• None - continuation of business and growth as is.

• Sewer connections constrained by existing infrastructure locations

• Excess capacity will be needed to support aging septic systems in the center of town (on smaller lots, as systems age and fail, they will need hook-up to sewer.)

• Sanitary sewer capacity limits devel-opment in center of Town and forces development to Chestnut Green and the edges of town.

• Parking requirements constrain small scale shop development.

In the town center, no change to existing sewer capacity will restrict redevelopment opportunities when aging septic systems no longer are viable. Route 1 to add capacity on a site-by-site basis. All other locations to use existing capacity and infrastructure or build septic systems as allowed.

Scenarios are conceptual and do not indicate any commitment for shared sewer capacity or development for specific parcels.

scenario 2: small rural town

sewer: new capacity & existing infrastructure

Single-family infill housing scaled to surrounding neighborhood. Bedford Depot Park, Bedford MA: outdoor recreation and activities for families.

• Buffer stadium uses

• Additional capacity created but with existing infrastructure, focusing growth in town center and route 1, and limited growth at Foxboro/Fox-field plaza area

• Focus on WWTP capacity at down-town and desired growth ; keep existing collection system

• Need sewer strategy and commit-ment to an implementation time line.

• Need Town-Center/Downtown fo-cused Development Policy

• Requires a commitment to Down-town reinvestment and revitalization

• Recommended bike trail connectivity with residential, recreational areas, and Downtown

• Policies to protect open space and discourage additional outer develop-ment

• Existing zoning has higher parking requirements for smaller businesses.

• Current excess sewer capacity is controlled by multiple private entities.

• Current sewer rate base is too small to fund meaningful system improve-ments to infrastructure.

Focus sewer in currently developed areas as a means of protecting open space. Outside the downtown residential / commercial zone, generate new revenue stream to fund sewer system improvements.

scenario 3: growth nodes

sewer: growth node districts

Revitalized town center, Hingham, MA Rail stop with trolley integrated into town center in Burlington, NJ.

• Add transportation connection (rail or alternative vehicle)

• Create distinct development nodes along transit stops

• Create additional sewer capacity and provide select infrastructure improvements to guide development around transit nodes

• Create incentives for development in growth nodes

• Creation of a Route 1 Wastewater Management District.

• Creation of a Downtown-Chestnut Hill-Neponset Sewer District area to enable an initial shared resolution of sanitary sewer services.

• Commitment to increase wastewa-ter treatment capacity and improve sewer collection system in desig-nated growth nodes.

• Alignment of utility expansion policy with land use growth policy.

• Sanitary sewer infrastructure and treatment capacity

• Stronger nodes will require increased housing and employment.

• Lack of transit service in Foxborough.

• Weak welcoming image today at many existing commercial areas in Foxborough.

Create additional sewer capacity and provide infrastructure in select locations that limit growth to already developed areas at new transit nodes. Create new central sewer district to share capacity until future treatment facility can be built. Cre-ate new Route 1 sewer district.

scenario 4: Route 1 growth area

sewer: districts - cooperation & capacity

Focus additional sewer capacity and infrastructure on Rte1 development area and new transit node. To allow for town center residential growth create new central sewer district to share capacity until future treatment facility can be built.

North American research headquarters for EMD Serrano, Billerica, MA

Federal Way Transit Center, Seattle WA

• Capitalize on Route 1 growth cor-ridor

• Increase rail service to stadium station stop to build transit-oriented community

• Create infill housing within downtown core

• Additional capacity and new infra-structure focussed on Rte 1 com-mercial and town center residential growth.

• Active facilitation of Route 1 Sewer/Wastewater Collection/Mgmt District

• Design Guidelines for Route 1 and commercial development to promote appropriate scale and design.

• Appropriate buffer and access between Route 1 and “Town of Fox-borough.”

Suggested:• Better gateways to Foxborough

• Alternative transportation links – bike, transit.

• Water capacity may become an issue.

• Portions of the commercial area along the southern area of Route 1 are in a Zone 2 well head protection area.
