Subject: Mark Rosen Thorndike Street From: mark rosen Sent: Monday, November 27, 2017 5:52 PM To: Alison Steinfeld Subject: Babcock Place 40 B proposal Dear Ms Steinfeld, Please be kind enough to forward this letter to the ZBA. I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed development at Babcock Place. I have reviewed the online plans for the proposed development and found that it does not meet the state's 40 B guidelines regarding context on all 4 sides. Context is an important part of the 40 B guidelines and the developers are ignoring this fact. Additionally, It is over massed in relation to both the site and the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed structure would be an eyesore that is wildly out of scale and does not blend with the neighborhood. I encourage the ZBA work with the developer and the state to bring this proposal in line with state guidelines for 40B proposals.
