Wellesley Country Club Continued NOI - Thursday, January 27, 2010, 9:00 PM

We have just received confirmation of this Thursday night's meeting of the Wetlands Protection Committee. As this process moves forward, your participation remains critical. We know that our increasing attendance is gaining notice and putting pressure on all involved to stay focus on protecting our wetlands. Please, attend.


WELLESLEY WETLANDS PROTECTION COMMITTEE


Thursday, January 27, 2010, 9:00 PM


The Great Hall, Town Hall, 525 Washington Street, Wellesley, MA


Wellesley Country Club Continued NOI – MA DEP #324-647

The proposed project is to construct a golf course maintenance facility, parking lot, materials storage area, stormwater management systems and associated elements within the Riverfront Area of Rosemary Brook, buffer zone to Bordering Vegetated Wetlands and Bank of an irrigation pond.


(The time is approximate as there is other business scheduled before the Country Club)


As with the last meeting, our participation is dependent on the structure of the meeting as determined by the Chair.


You may recall that the community was invited by WPC to present their own Alternative Locations for the Maintenance Facility.


Friends of Brookside volunteers reviewed the Wetlands' files to capture any suggestions by residents that had previously

been

submitted to the

Committee

. Next, community members, working with our paid consultant (Wetlands' Scientist Patrick Garner), identified credible locations, created a proposal, and made an official submission to the Wetlands Protection Committee. We feel these Alternative Sites are very viable.

Going forward we are just as unsure of the process as you are!

We ask for your attendance at these meetings. The Great Hall (upstairs) is once again booked, and once again it's vitally important that the Wetlands Protection Committee members and the Wellesley Country Club representatives understand just how passionate the community is about protecting our town's natural resources.


(The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for February 2nd)


As always, please feel free to contact us with any comments, questions or suggestions.


Thank you for your continued support.
