To the Planning Board: I agreed with so much of what was said at the Planning Board meeting last night. Basically the plan tries to stuff too much into a small space and will create a multitude of problems. There is one request that others made that I would like to underscore. Please do not destroy the one community green area next to The Works in order to build one more building to “engage” with the town. We already have more than enough buildings doing that. Those crab apple trees growing in that green area are gorgeous in the spring time. Instead of tearing down our only beautiful spot in that plaza, wouldn’t it be possible to extend it to meet the little garden next to the Pauly’s Pockets building? Thank you Carol Birch
