Dear Board Members:
As you might remember I sat through the complete hearing for the Great Island work. I was pleased
that the board asked for more information as well as redoing what is to be completed on phase one
vs. phase two. However I want to comment for a few of my concerns. The following comments are
made without being able to see any changes in the proposal from last meeting.
1. I would prefer to see no parking at all on the front and just have a drive for fire safety. This would
allow the buffer zone to be larger. It would also enhance the way the buildings look from Rt. 28. In
fact I believe it would be more inviting for shoppers.
2. I would prefer to see plantings on the buffer zone along rt 28 to be in phase one.
3. I would like to see a list of details for phase one and phase two. The maps on line are difficult to
see. For example at first I did not see that the original phase one proposal kept angle parking until
phase two.
4. I understand they are asking for two phases so that money generated from phase one will allow
them to get a loan for phase two. What happens if they are unable to get a loan?
Thank you for working so hard to make sure this building proposal is good for the applicant and the
town. I look forward to shopping there.
