We have lived on Unicorn Circle since 2004 and have enjoyed the green space on Cynthia Road. It is a great space for recreation, free from traffic, shaded and a respite from the busy Whitehall Road. My children have learned how to ride bikes there, have explored the woods and now walk our dog. lt is a place to enjoy the sounds of nature, see rabbitts and watch the ducks pond. lt is a safe place where our children can be independent, often telling them to walk up Cynthia Ave from Unicorn Circle and then turn around at Whitehall. It would be sorely missed if developed. The green space is essential to our well being as neighbors and is partly what attracted us to the neighborhood. I hope that it remains as is, and is deemed protected.

The parcels... 1. Serve as integral components in two run- off water management systems (one City- owned and one privately owned by Whitehall Lake Condos) that are protecting: o Whitehall Lakes' 120 homes from recurrences of hugely expensive flood damage to the commonly owned buildings including infrastructure, as well as to the privately owned interiors of those homes o 20+ homes in Orchard Height from recurrences of water damage in their basements  o The estimated $160-200,000 invested in these systems speak to their being perceived by the City, as well and Whitehall Lake home owners, as being of real value. 2. Protect the Powwow River and Lake Gardner ecosystem from a recurrence of past serious contamination that would again threaten the: o sustainable well-being of that river/lake ecosystem " Amesbury residents and visitors who swim, fish and boat there " failure by Amesbury to meet the requirements of State and Federal agencies regarding environmental protection 3. Mitigate the intensity and scale of a City- documented'heat island' that already engulfs the 212 homes in Whitehall Lake Condos and Northbrook Condo in excessive heat levels that: o Threaten the physical health of hundreds of residents in our neighborhoods, esp. the elderly, those with heart conditions, and infants o Willbe made significantly hotter and more dangerous by the reduction in the cooling power provided by shading from every tree and bit of greenery on the Cynthia Road parcels now under threat by 2022- 087  o Will be further intensified by the added radiant heat from every bit of the proposed development (buildings, driveways, sidewalks, air- conditioners, etc.) o Will be further subjected to intensification by the forecast heating effects of climate change 4. Mitigate erosion and land movement that threatens to undermine foundations in Northbrook 5. Provide a 'natural'buffer between the abutting densely populated communities - 120 homes in Whitehall Lake, 92 in the two Northbrook phases, 55 in Orchard Heights and 147 in British Colonial Apartments 6. Are outspokenly valued by 96'/" of the (randomly polled) abutting Amesbury voters for the quality of life and community benefits provided by the parcels 7. Deserve protection in their own right as open space habitats for everything from peeper frogs to foxes, to species of song birds and birds of prey, etc., and which are a safe pathway for animals moving back and forth between Woodsom Farm and the river and lake All combined, above is a list of 16 inter-related STRONG REASONS to NOT SURPLUS the Cynthia Road parcels, and to conserve it instead. ls that not enough objective proof of the ongoing value of these open space parcels to Amesbury and several hundred of it residents to warrant protecting these open spaces from surplusing and development? Supporters of Bill 2A22-087 would fully authorize the Mayor to 'surplus' and 'dispose' of our critically valuable parcels however she wishes, after she: first, influences the recommendation-making by the Disposition Committee; and then accepts, disregards, amends, or replaces any of those recommendations in order to serve her now publicly open goal of developing 20 housing units of affordable housing, to (very likely) be built by Habitat for Humanity. Questions arise. Does this suggest -087 supporters are placing more value on developing those 20 housing units than on the physical health, homes, finances and quality of life for several hundred residents, and the environmental protection of priceless land, river and lake ecosystems? Why would they do this given their'fiduciary' responsibilities to the City's sustainable future, to environmental protection regulations, and to the wellbeing of our residents? Why the urgency? And why put so much at risk for 20 units of affordable housing, by the likely preferred developer, on these remotely located parcels - when vastly more affordable housing is already in the process of development on better located land in two locations along Rt. 110? Why are -087 supporters not investing their political authority and good willto recruit and focus attention and resources on getting those bigger better projects completed as soon Public Comment for Bill2022-087 &/or Bill2022-100 Sept 20 Budget and Finance Committee meetigng From: Macleod, Connie co n n i e. m a c leod @xelr:pyes*aam To: Roger Deschenes eounciI_orde$ch (damesburvtyla.rJov, Jon Hickok epunejiorhieko*k @_amesb_r r ryma g e v, Steven Stanganelli eo uxeibtslatr g al-elli@ amesl:_ury_ura g o__v, Cl erk ele&@a meshurym a-g ay Gc: Brad Matthews n ei q lr llorsofcvnth i a roa d rCIorna i I com " Sent: Monday, September 19, 1 :59 PM Dear Councilors, My name is Constance Macleod and I am an abutter. I live at24 Pamela Lane. I am unable to attend this evening's meeting so I am emailing my thoughts and request that you PLEASE support Eill 2o22-1OO and Do NOT suppsrt_E!l[202& 0871 The lots on Cynthia Rd are not zoned buildable lots, do not meet Amesbury's zoning requirements and for so many reasons it would be a mistake to dispose of the land. To those of us who live in the adjacent neighborhoods it is not dispo$Ic. The 2 mitigation systems installed by the town and Whitehall Lakes Condominiums at great expense and the mature trees and undergrowth root systems protect our homes from destructive erosion caused by water runoff from the top of the hill all of the way to the Powwow River and Lake Gardener. They also protect those water sources from contamination. The green space provides relief from the heat island of this already densely populated area. That relief benefits all Amesbury residents. The health benefits of having a safe, shaded space to walk and talk with neighbors and family members of all ages in our own neighborhood is priceless. To dispose of the properties and allow ANYTHING to be built there would require changing the zoning or 408. Any construction would require tearing down the trees, which would literally cause mudslides in our back yards, damaging the foundations of the 4 unit buildings at the top of the hill above Cynthia Rd, where the steep slope drops at least 15 feet within 10 feet of the building foundation of my own condo unit. Disposing of these lots would be an irreversible mistake, harming the entire community. The expense to the community also not justify the sale. ALL utilities need to be completed for that length of the road. The road would be torn up and the water and sewer line would have to be continued to connect any new building. The road would need to be repaired and repaved, and sidewalks installed. The sidewalks along Whitehall Rd that are broken and dangerous will also need repair. That is very expensive work. 40B affordable housing will also need access to public transportation, which is not currently available. The bus routes would have to be extended to the top of Whitehall, over a mile from their current route. The snowplowing on Whitehall will need to be put earlier on the plowing rotation so the steep part of the hill, that is very slick and difficult to drive until it is treated, is safe for a bus route and for pedestrians. The lots will not bring anywhere near the revenue needed to offset the infrastructure cost to the town of Amesbury necessary to develop those lots.
