PlanningBoard | 2005-02-28 | 12 | Mr. Jim Miller, 2508 Crist Street, noted that he was originally opposed to this project; after hearing the applicants' response to the neighborhood concerns, he is now in support of this project and rescinded his stated opposition to the project. Mr. George Borikas, 1500 Gibbons Drive, noted that he owned the four-unit apartment building displayed by the applicant. He inquired what his rights as a landlord would be if a tenant sued him for failing to provide "quiet enjoyment" because of any excessive noise from the clinic; he inquired whether the City would pay for his defense should he have a problem with a tenant. Mr. Erin Beales, 2452 Central Avenue, spoke in opposition to this item, and noted that he was the author of the neighborhood alert. He emphasized that he was not trying to close the clinic down, and read his written statement into the record: "I'm here to ask you to deny the Use Permit for this project. You sent out approximately 175 notices to the people in the neighborhood. These notices were to inform people that there is going to be a decision made by the Planning Board that can negatively affect their way of life. In essence, you're asking these people how they feel about this project, and that their opinions would drive the decision of the Planning Board. In two short weeks, my neighbors and Iknocked on a few doors and explained to the residents what was being proposed on the corner of Central and Everett. In the short time, we gathered a list of signatures, almost 50 people that are within the notification boundary. The other 10 on this list are on the close outskirts of this boundary. If we had more time, this list would be a lot bigger. This is almost 25% of the notification list that have spoken out with some concern about this project. The concerns range from obviously my concerns of the dogs being exercised in the neighborhood, the scale and size of the actual building that close to the residential neighborhood. And although there are 23 parking spaces, it is going to have an impact on the parking in the neighborhood, no matter what you say.
