Dear Planning Board, 

I am unable to attend tonight's meeting, and wish to share a few thoughts with you.

Concerning the Mill Pond Center,  I disagree with the Town Planner when 
he suggested that "with the addition of house lots that permissions to allow for 
activities other than residential use of the Mill Pond Center Property be withdrawn 
so that potential traffic will not disturb the new home owners".  Given that the 
site's current usage isn't hidden, anyone purchasing a house here knows there may 
be occasional traffic.  To deny other activities here which benefit many for a few 
new homeowners seems unjustifiable and poorly thought out--almost 
undemocratic.  Please do not accept this recommendation.

Regarding the Durham Business Park, I find it difficult to imagine the State will 
allow however many units may eventually be in this eldercare setting that dumps 
out onto Route 4.  The hazards ambulances (and all the other traffic this usage will 
necessitate) will face as they try to enter/exit the park onto this busy road are 
abundant.  Perhaps this should be looked into before too much time is invested by 
all parties involved.   I also feel it is very short-sighted for the town to be 
considering another large development at this time.  Until those projects already 
underway are completed and the impact is known, not what was predicted but 
actually known, it seems the wise choice would be to slow down. 

Sincerely,
Carol Tuveson
