The LUPZ and DRC committees of the CHCA and the Conservancy have proven again to be feckless in the face of developers who disregard binding easements put in place nearly two decades ago that were designed for the purpose of protecting and preserving the milieu of Chestnut Hill, in this case, the Greylock property.
One has to wonder with whom their loyalty resides if 80% of the near neighbors oppose the variances – and the tie-breaking vote from the Committee was cast in support of the developer. Additionally, this is not the only developer with interest in Greylock; this developer was in partnership with the previous developers who allowed the property's decline; so, as Dr. McLeod wrote last month, "it is fatuous" to think that Chestnut Hill needs this developer.
