Message Hello ZBA members,
I wanted to reach out with another concern that has crossed my
mind regarding the proposed 0 Prescott project and our
property at 39 Prescott St. I do not see our inground pool on
the back of our lot taken into account on any of the plans. The
setback and height waivers would create a safety and privacy
concern to me and my family.
I feel there is a big safety concern with the pool being in
dangerous proximity to heavy construction, and also a privacy
concern of having a 5 story parking garage looking directly over
our six foot privacy fence feet away from this proposed design.
I hope our concerns of safety and privacy outweigh the need
for affordable housing in specific design decisions, as I am sure
there are other viable designs that could alleviate these
concerns.
Thank You,
Andrew Sarnie
Separately, I was hoping to get an update from the board on
how the whole process is going? Is everything proceeding as
expected to this point?When MassHousing heard the town
feedback and comments as part of the project eligibility, they
granted the PEL, and noted 'the Applicant should be prepared
to work closely with its design team to address concerns
regarding design of the proposed Project, particularly as it
relates to mitigating concerns about building height, bulk, and
opportunities for screening.'
I don't know if this is how the normal process plays out, but to

this point the design team has shown almost zero change to
the design, particularly regarding height and bulk.
I would appreciate if someone could reach out to me before the
next meeting to help clarify the proceedings.
Thanks again,
Andrew Sarnie
