Please forward my e-mail to the Planning Board. I’ll try to make the meeting 
Wednesday, but in case I am not able to, I’d like my thoughts to be presented to the 
members of the Planning Board deliberating building more student housing.
    I support a critical proposed housing development amendment that would require the 
developer to provide in the proposed apartments at least 600 square feet per occupant 
from the current 300 square feet required.
    I also want to go on record as strongly opposed to more housing development, as the 
saturation point is already becoming an unpleasant issue for the site planned and for 
the quality and remaining small town nature of Durham. The once quiet and lovely 
Durham cemetery, the pleasant ride out on Mast Rd. to buy corn at Tecce’s requiring 
driving past a cookie cutter suburb have already compromised the special qualities that 
make Durham a small town, livable community. Traffic has already increased so much, 
I’ve seen and heard from many people driving into Durham, they are taking streets other 
than Main St. to get to the UNH campus, completely by-passing Main St. That doesn’t 
sound business friendly. It also has increased traffic on neighborhood roads which were 
safe for young families. Let’s not lose that. Phyllis Heilbronner, 51 Mill Pond Rd.,
