Greetings all,
Unsurprisingly, I was unable to present all my concerns,
opinions and recommendations concerning Zoning Redesign in the two-minute segments
allowed at the various meetings. With
the help of and contributions from Peter Bruce I have prepared the attached
Memorandum that outlines what I would like to have said.
I understand some of the difficulties that the City Council has had to
overcome as a result of having no City Council staff with sufficient zoning
and/or planning experience.
I appreciate the work of the staff of the Planning and
Development Department. However, their
training and responsibilities are to the City and the Governor’s plan to add
8,000 units of housing to Newton.
I have tried to avoid arguing for or against a particular point
but I have indulged in presenting information that I believe is the cause of
some of the opposition to City's plans.
I hope you enjoy the holidays and will have some time read
my missive.
Thank you,
Peter
