Council Members Cambridge City Council 795 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA. 02139 In re: 14 Jackson Street Modification of Existing 35’ Curb Cut Dear Council Members, The existing property at 14 Jackson shares a curb cut with 18 Jackson Street (the two properties were owned commonly at one time). The existing curb cut is 35’ wide. We met with Liza Paden, the community development director prior to requesting a Special Permit regarding the rear home location. She asked us to create separation by reducing the rather lengthy curb cut. Zoning Ordinance 6.43.3 states that “Curb cuts shall be maximum 20 feet wide in Residential districts.” The proposed curb cut modification will conforms to the current zoning ordinance. In order to reduce the large opening of approximately 35’, we are proposing the addition of a 5’ section of curb at the property edge between 14 and 18 Jackson It will be solely inside the 14 Jackson St. property line and will not reduce the existing curb cut for 18 Jackson St. We are also asking to move the current curbstone for 14 Jackson St. 2’ to the left. The new curb cut for 14 Jackson will be 15’. This is consistent with what is typical of many lots on the street. The owner of 18 Jackson Street reviewed the proposed plan, discussed it with me and signed a form approving of the curb cut modification. We have approval letters from the owners of the homes on either side of us, four homes across the street from us and also the home in back of us (13 Clifton St.). Diana Schneidman, the owner of 10 Jackson Street has signed the approval modification form. Dana Zircher is listed as the owner of 8 Jackson Street. I hand delivered a letter explaining the curb cut modification that included my telephone number and an approval form. The property has a for sale sign and according to Diana Schneidman, nobody is living there. The mailbox was full when I delivered the letter. Respectfully Submitted, Gregory Matteosian, Manager

We have no concerns about this change.     Please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone removed] if you have any questions. Sincerely yours, Jason Stonehouse & Gena Gourley-Stonehouse
