MARLBOROUGH --- Arguing that more than 10 percent of the town's housing is affordable, the lawyer for a developer who is proposing to build 60 townhouse condominiums is asking the city to let the developer pay $450,000 rather than include nine affordable units in the project. The city has an inclusionary zoning bylaw that requires all developments over 20 units to have 15 percent of units affordable but the developer is asking the city to amend this bylaw.
