We Support Development, but...

Six floors and 69 feet is TOO TALL for our historic downtown

 - It would be 450% larger (in volume) than existing Mill Pond bldg. 

- The 6th floor only adds 3 expensive housing units 

- With no waiver, zoning allows only 48 feet of height 

- Allowing an extra 11 feet of height is not worth it

- 6,500 sqft. flat roof is inconsistent with Design Review Guidelines protecting skyline and historic character
