Mass Housing needs to know about poor design for Weiss Farm

 Stoneham neighbors if you are concerned about the Commons at Weiss Farm and your dis-satisfaction with the May 19th meeting held with Corcoran and our Town attached you will find sample letters that you can send to MASS Housing to let them know your concerns.

Dear Gregory Watson:
RE: New England Fund Site Approval Application (Project Eligibility) for The Commons at Weiss Farm/170 Franklin Street
On May 19th a meeting that you mandated Corcoran to hold with the Town of Stoneham was done. As a resident and taxpayer for the Town of Stoneham and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts I was deeply disappointed in this developers lack of concern over the serious issues facing our community with a development of this magnitude. 
The Corcoran Group has demonstrated a total lack of wanting to work with our community on creating a development with good solid design that is appropriate to the site at Weiss Farm and is beneficial to the community and the developer.
Corcoran failed to address our serious concerns of:• Flooding to surrounding neighborhoods of Stoneham and Melrose• Grave concerns of water contamination and sewerage• Acute density of the area with pre-existing real estate• Serious depletion of soil due to massive soil erosion from constructing buildings of these sizes• Totally against the topography and chemistry of surrounding neighborhood and the whole community of Stoneham
The updated design that was presented May 19th is merely a gloss over the original one If in fact he actually builds or sells his options off to another outside of state contractor and his role is merely to get all the permits under the umbrella of CH 40B. If he does how does that help the total economy of our state and free enterprise of at home businesses.
Corcoran showed up May 19th on your mandate but has no intention of working with our community and shows disregard for the input of our elected officials and neighbors. Based on his actions he is definitely against creating a beneficial housing development for our town and the Commonwealth to address the need for low-income housing.
Our State Senator Jason Lewis has sent letters condemning this present configuration of Corcoran’s and so has the Mayor of Melrose.
The benefits of CH 40 B are definitely not in the making by this developer. Above all the need for public safety should be tantamount in the decision making process. This development is a total affront to public safety and needs of our community and the Commonwealth.
As an agency that came into being solely through the votes of residents of the Commonwealth, it is your responsibility to represent both the towns and developers who are striving for affordable housing. You are charged with representing the town of Stoneham in demanding that the developer not build such a large complex to the detriment of the town and surrounding areas. Please do not shirk this responsibility. Demand that Corcoran Co. return to the drawing board and design buildings that are in keeping with the town's concerns. This is not NIMBY by the residents of Stoneham. It is a legitimate concern that the long-term damage of this complex will impact residents long after the developer is gone.
Please deny Corcoran the permit under CH 40B on the basis that he has not in good faith met with our community, listened to our concerns and created a good design for The Commons at Weiss Farm. Too big is too big for Stoneham. 
Sincerely,
Short version of letter for MASS Housing
