Hello Darcy,
I'm wri ng as a concerned abu er to the proposed project at 38 and 48 Ocean Avenue. My husband and I own #6 at 160
Marston Avenue in Harbor Village.
I am happy for the developer and their plans for these lots- of course improved housing in the area only improves our
property value and I have no problem with the development of these lots. I am concerned about the setback from the
creek. I understand that the required setback is 50 feet, but in this case due to the importance of the wetland in the area
and the current water quality issues of stuart creek and pond reserve I would urge the commission to contemplate a 100
foot buffer - which I believe could be jus fied due to the slope of the bank. I understand that these houses plan to
operate on sep c, and with landscaping naturally there will be con nuous runoff into the creek. My children swim at the
nearby beach all summer, and improving the water quality of the feeding creek is a huge priority. My concern is that this
development will further degrade the environmental condi ons of the creek and surrounding wetlands.
I hope you will consider our wishes as part of the review of these plans on tuesday Nov. 28th, we will unfortunately not
be able to a end the mee ng.
Best,
Ashley Keeney
