The Wellesley Country has every right to upgrade their grounds' aesthetic and service-oriented conditions for the benefit of its membership. It is, as well, all homeowners' right in the neighborhood where the Club proposes to upgrade their maintenance and equipment facilities to keep our properties in top condition, and the surrounding areas, such as the Brookside Rd., and the wetlands alongside the road.
I oppose the Club's choice of location for their upgrades and echo very thoroughly researched comments from fellow neighbors and Friends of the Wetlands members:
The function and values of these protected wetlands areas are important, not only to me, personally, but to the citizens of Wellesley because they affect our drinking water, wildlife habitat, recreational use and historical/cultural landscape.
Therefore, I sincerely ask that the Wetlands Committee ensure the safety of these areas by following the spirit and adhere to the letter Wellesley's conservation regulations; and to urge the Wellesley Country Club to research and design their proposal at an alternate location. This solution would ensure the safety of the wetlands areas and eliminate all risk to our water quality and supply. It would also, very importantly, preserve the open spaces which add to the quality of life in the neighborhoods surrounding Brookside Rd.
We, too,as does the membership of the Wellesley Country Club, cherish beauty and open spaces which enhance the area where our properties are.

Very close to 50 years in a superb area, and hope fervently to have it continue so for many more generations.
