Dear Unit Owners,
This is a friendly but important reminder that the Town of Smithfield Planning Board will hold a public hearing regarding the proposed development uphill from our condominium community.
📅 Thursday, February 19
🕕 6:00 PM
📍 Smithfield Town Hall
As previously shared, the Town will not be mailing notices. This meeting is our opportunity to ensure that our community’s concerns are clearly heard and formally entered into the public record.
The Management Committee continues to have significant concerns about the potential impacts of this project, including:
- Drainage and stormwater runoff
- Blasting and vibration impacts
- Erosion and slope stability
- Construction-related noise, dust, and traffic
- Long-term effects on infrastructure and utilities
- Environmental impacts and potential effects on property values
- Changes to neighborhood character and density
- Visual impacts and loss of natural buffers
- Long-term maintenance burdens on our drainage systems
- Road closures and detours on our private roads
While the Committee will be present and prepared to speak, a strong in-person turnout from unit owners is essential. Public boards take note not only of what is said, but how many residents are engaged enough to attend. Simply being present makes a meaningful difference.
If you are able, please make plans to attend. Even if you prefer not to speak, your presence helps demonstrate the importance of this matter to our entire community.
Thank you for your continued involvement and commitment to protecting our property and quality of life. We hope to see many of you there.
Sincerely,
The Management Committee
