[email protected] March 11, 2011 By Hand Delivery Mr. John F. Palmieri Director Boston Redevelopment Authority One City Hall Plaza, 9th floor Boston, MA 02201 Re: 41 Westland Avenue, Boston Dear Director Palmieri: On behalf of our client, Catamount Westland LLC (“Catamount”), we are pleased to submit herewith this expanded Project Notification Form (PNF) in connection with the project known as 41 Westland Avenue (the “Proposed Project”) in the East Fenway community. This submission is being made in accordance with Arrticle 80B (Large Project Review) of the Boston Zoning Code. The Proposed Project is intended to create innovative and highly sought-after contemporary housing prototypes in the East Fenway community, as well as increase the number, quality, and character of homeownership opportunities in the East Fenway. The Proposed Project is not anticipated to have any significant impacts on the surrounding area since it is only increasing the existing building area by approximately 10%, and is reducing the intensity of the use on the site from commercial parking garage to residential homeownership. On behalf of the entire development team, we look forward to working with you, BRA staff, the City of Boston, and the community at large in furtherance of this innovative adaptation of the existing parking garage so as to increase the number of owner-occupied homes in the East Fenway community.
