Letter from Marilee Meyer, 10 Dana Street, in support of City Manager Agenda Item # 1 on a short-term lease for the Kiosk and noting that City Manager Agenda Item #6 on Envision will have unintended consequences for a long time

January 14, 2019 CITY COUNCIL I am speaking on CMA # 5 and CMA #10. I support #5, the continued short-term lease of the KIOSK to OUT OF TOWN NEWS while the plaza plans are being examined and presented to the public January 31St , and where the public can presumably have input into the kiosk's historic preservation, transformation and new use which I hope will include heat, AC water- news, history and tourism as part of its programming. Continued leasing will also keep another storefront from going dark in a crucial location. Maintaining a tenant is also important as the city re-examines the goals of Envision and the Overlay in its broader context, and how neighborhoods and residents understand smart growth, context, environmental consequences and what "Building as of RIGHT" means. We need to look at zoning prior to getting Envision implemented and before details are voted on in theory. As we know, the devil is in the details. As it stands, #10 reads to me as an advertising campaign for the 100% Overlay idea that CDD has already decided on while residents still are asking for clarification. ENVISION has another run on the target on , but will actually change in its description? Jan 17* in Cambridgeport This needs further explanation and the council and manager know it. It will have unintended consequences as presented for a long time. Marilee Meyer 10 Dana St #404 02138 [email removed]
