A 312-unit apartment complex proposed for the former Twin Brooks golf course in Hyannis is moving closer to possible approval. A subcommittee of the Cape Cod Commission voted Tuesday to accept a drawback of the plan the fact that it would increase impervious coverage of the 40-acre parcel because the project would improve how stormwater is handled in other ways. Tim Pasakarnis, a water resources analyst with the Commission, said the Emblem Hyannis apartment plan would reduce the amount of stormwater runoff from the property and improve the quality of the water. “The reduction in fertilized turf area on-site, coupled with treatment that's being provided for stormwater runoff, is going to reduce the overall site-wide nitrogen loading,” he said. A community group called Save Twin Brooks continues to oppose the plan. Members say Cape Cod should not be making environmental compromises for a housing development in which most of the units would rent for market rate.
