The only letters mentioned in those minutes were notifications of proposed changes to regulations and the times and dates of meetings scheduled to discuss the new changes, which were sent out to all parties living the Historical Districts. There was also mention of a few letters sent out to request that some property owners who had made changes to the physical appearance of their properties to come before the board and answer why they did so without notifying the board as required by law prior to making these changes. The only mention of a tree that we found was that of one between the Sharra property and the Elm Center that had fallen and was scheduled for removal late last year. It seems your attempt to place blame and discredit the HDC was personal as your statements proved to be entirely untrue. Lastly, outside links are not allowed by commenters for the protection of the people who comment and read here.

To get rid of her is to get rid of Tedford and Gardner first because they protect her. Look what happened when Brian Moser's budget committee laminated her job....The selectmen gave her a new job description and promoted her with big raises.

The fallen tree was in my neighbor's yard. Vendetta? Against whom? I just want to be able to repair my home. Maybe you should read the 1997 ordinance in it's entirety. Especially the part about trees. The new proposed rules say I can't even plant them. Read it, all of it not just the outtakes. This was brought up in Tuesday's meeting, you should have been there. Once again, you prejudge without the facts. Maybe the masthead should be changed to the 'Winchester Opinion', facts inform, opinion does not. If you feel the ordinance is not overly burdensome on the homeowner, then why not purchase a home in the district, and you too can live by the rules, and show all of us who live here how easy and carefree life in the HD is. I did not sign any petition, and I did not vote to abolish the district. But, with a conflicted, arbitrary and capricious set of rules, it makes it difficult not to run afoul of someone else's impression of what they actually are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-26846883690884651762014-05-02T14:38:01.739-04:002014-05-02T14:38:01.739-04:00The Historic District Commission's Regulations...The Historic District Commission's Regulations can not be changed until they have been voted on through a Warrant Article(s) by the public on the March ballot.

I'm not looking to expand my home in any way, but when the HDC tells me I need permission to perform simple repairs, plant a shrub or tree, tell me I need permission to remove a dead tree that has fallen - something is wrong.

What's this woman's agenda? Seems every year since she has been in her positions in the land use office she has gone about gutting zoning laws and town regulations to her own liking allowing some very questionable activities to happen in Winchester and now here she is once again influencing changes to the Historic District rules that have stood for so many years. It's obvious to me at least that she is out to see that certain people get passed regulations in order for them to get their approvals and allow them to build or remodel when they shouldn't be allowed to. This isn't right' but who do you complain to when our selectmen are just as bad?just plain sick of all of itnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-73216583236609169292014-05-01T22:33:51.970-04:002014-05-01T22:33:51.970-04:00To the commenter above;

No one thinks anyone living in this town is a second class citizen; but when people attempt to change the rules to meet their own wants and needs, you have to wonder about their character.
