You undoubtedly recall the groundswell of objection only a few years ago when — shortly after Dr. Mendez had promised solely residential development in exchange for Foxborough's support for his building a harmonious, one story doctor's office to abut us on 1709 -- he (developer Mendez) turned around and attempted to champion a senior citizen's facility on or near the very same property at issue today. Then as now, any change to allow "commercial" development would be an abhorrent breech of the city's published plan to protect residential quality via application of only those uses involving minimum traffic and like -kind construction next to Foxborough. Our purchase decisions relied on the city's integrity in that commitment. Today our neighborhood's character and value hinges on your defeat of any proposal to commercialize abutting properties. The Strunk Family plats and those adjoining and including Carroll footage up to Southview should continue to be available only to medium density uses, i.e., residential and small office — in keeping with the most current City Plan. Please convey these thoughts to Council. We join Juergen Strunk's family in favoring retention of medium density residential /office with no commercial allowances.

We of course oppose such a change because the development of more commercial property will negatively impact our property value. We tried unsuccessfully to sell our home earlier this year. One of the greatest barriers we encountered was concern over the potential and uncertain use of land behind our home. Potential buyers feared the development of commercial property. We hope the city, now and in the future will only allow development of residential property on the land.
