To whom it may concern,
First, thank you for sending me the information about the upcoming project at 175 Jackson St. Northampton. I am most
interested in this project as I directly border this project at 159 Jackson St. I do have some concerns and have listed them
below:
1. Was a traffic study done for this project? I am concerned about the extra traffic spilling onto Jackson St. as the street is
already congested and there are some safety concerns with the school nearby.
2. Where will the excess water be directed? When Hampton Gardens was built the excess water was directed to the back
of my land and now I have excess water there.
3. Will there be a chain link fence to separate the properties? I am concerned that residents will come on my property and
potentially injure themsleves. Years ago my husband and I were sued from a Hampton Gardens resident who trespassed
on our property and was injured. They later determined that the resident was not on our property so the lawsuit was
dismissed, but the stress of the incident took a lasting toll on us.
Lastly, if for some reason I am not able to dial into the session on 4/23. How would my concerns be addressed and how
would I be notified of the results or answers to these concerns? Thank you for your time and anticipated cooperation.
Best regards,
Yvonne Boucher
