Dear Members  of Planning  Board , Town Council, Zoning Board and Town 
Manager

How long should we allow our paid employees to spend our tax 
dollars working on this project and our Planning Board members expend 
their valuable volunteer time .

We still  have the same concerns presented with the original plan . The 
plan does not reliably indicate any dimensions of space along the brook,
the size of walks ,the elevation of buildings ,the number of trees . 
The project doesn't increase safe pedestrian access despite some who 
say it does, provide good design for deliveries or respect abutters , 
the neighbors or the environment . And now comes some question  
regarding the ability to add more floors of residential occupancy than 
the regulations allow.

If we continue to allow more discussion without serious 
pressure on the developer to be sincere about meeting the requirements 
of our zoning and planning it would be foolish and diminish  the voices 
of the community .

The developer seems not even to know the market it is seeking 
and thus seems unable  to develop a realistic design. Sure let this 
play out but be wary of the wily attempts to circumvent our correct and 
appropriate regulations .

Durham residents know when we see those who appear sincere but 
only are only interested in making the most profit and we aren't 
interested in these kind of projects .

Sincerely ,
Diane  and Frank McCann
