Google Groups May 18th review: I support the ReZoning needed for Cold Storage Building on West Commercial Street Jenny Potter Scheu <
[email protected]> May 16, 2017 10:29 AM Posted in group: Planning Board To: Elizabeth Boepple, Sean Dundon, David Eaton, Brandon Mazer, Carol Morrissette, Maggie Stanley, and Lisa Whited Dear Portland Planning Board, I am writing to support the rezoning which needs to happen in order go forward with the construction of a large new Cold Storage building on West Commercial Street. I strongly support the construction of this building as a very important addition to the waterfront/city economy. Where I live near the eastern end of the Portland waterfront, we have dealt with critics who do not support any development which blocks views of the harbor. I favor thoughtful new development, and submit that there are many existing protections for views. ( I would be glad if such a building was built on the east end of Commercial Street! ) The important addition of this proposed Cold Storage Building trumps any concerns for it’s blocking some of the views from the western neighborhood. I am sorry that I cannot attend the May 18th site review and workshop, and wanted to express my support for this very important development opportunity. Thanks so much to each of you and the Planning staff for your steady hard work for the city and all citizens. Best wishes, Jenny Scheu
