Action Summary
The committee met on March 28th. After numerous updates (see March 28,2001
Agenda) two items were discussed. The first item involved a proposal by Sam
Azzam to use the Long's Funeral Home premise as an office development. The
proponent presented a letter from Jason Schrieber (Transportation Planner for
the City of Cambridge) stating the total # of currently recognized parking
spaces at the 19 Davenport address. The letter did not indicate any
permission of acknowledge any allocation. The Committee discussed the
proposal and recommended that the proponent meet further with the Porter
Square Neighbors Association to clarify that association's point of view.
The Committee briefly discussed the Citywide Zoning Petition and concluded
that it would be useful for the City Council to explain to the general public
how the new zoning differs from the previous zoning. Although the new zoning
is significant in scope, the City Council does not want to explain it until
the Alewife and East Cambridge Portions (excluded from consideration) are
completed. Although the City Council is hopeful that this will be completed
soon, it is not a certain that this will ever occur. The position of the
committee is that since the zoning is now the law, the public ought to be
informed as to its meaning.
Questions concerning this agenda should be directed to Richard Clarey at
