RE: 48 Elm Street, Northampton MA 01060
Dear Attny. Brighenti;
January 24, 2007
This letter is in reference to the communication we received regarding a planned
installation of an antenna on the tower of the St. John's Church here in
Northampton.
After review of the photoshop images and the plans submitted, the Commission
has concluded that what is represented on the plans does not match what is
depicted in the images. We would like to request that the images be enlarged in
order to better analyze the nature of the installation proposed.
For your information, the Commission is forwarding the recommendation to the
Elm Street Historic District Committee as well as the Planning Board, that we
prefer the installation be accomplished completely internally, with no visible
impact. The Commission feels strongly that no stone be removed or penetrated,
as that would negatively impact the integrity of the existing infrastructure.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I write on behalf of the Commission
and can be reached at 584-6804 should you wish to speak with me.
Respectfully, Ch�!Cn�t��
