Requests about serious concerns with a large development
by O'Neill Properties for the Frontage Road Office/R&D Center at the Belmont uplands letter to Cambridge Conservation Commission Friends of Alewife Reservation BOX 161 1770 Mass Ave. March 10, 2003 Mr. Albe Simanes, Chair Cambridge Conservation Commission 364 Hampshire Street Cambridge, MA 02139 Re: Silver Maple Upland Forest Dear Mr. Simanes, As a follow-up to our presentation to your committee on February 10, and also in response to your letter concerning the above development of February 27, 2003 and the March 3, 2003 hearing in front of the Cambridge Health & Environment Committee, the Save our Forest Committee (Forest Committee), a task force of the Friends of Alewife Reservation, wishes to submit this set of revised requests. These requests as you know are in connection with our serious concerns with a large development by O'Neill Properties of Pennsylvania for the Frontage Road Office/R&D Center at the Belmont uplands. We feel that there will be significant impacts on both the City of Cambridge and the Mystic River watershed area, as outlined in our presentations at the above-noted public hearings.
Very truly yours, David Hobbie, Attorney Committee: Sue Bass, James Graves, Jennifer Griffith, Bryan Hamlin, Mark Kirk, Ed Koenig, Ernest Kirwan, Ellen Mass, Susan Watson, Peter Alden, Bruce Jacobs, John Moot, Elizabeth Grady |
