149 Main St.
Watertown, MA 02472
Council members,
This letter is to humbly request that a change be made to the zoning regulations found in Article
V section 5.01 regarding the principal use for the 1-3 zone. We request line h of the table (found on page
35) be amended to either a Y or SP/SR designation for Assisted living in the 1-3 zone. We request this
change be made to the zoning regulations so that we may proceed with constructing an 80-100 room
assisted/independent living facility on the parcel located at 100 North Beacon Street.We believe that our
parcel would be ideal for an assisted/independent living facility while also offering potential residents
(and their families) easy access to dining, shopping, and outdoor areas. An assisted/independent living
facility would fit right in with the current projects being constructed across the street from our property.
Our facility would also provide a local option for any family in Watertown who may have an aging relative
that may need a little extra care.With the Council's help,we can move forward with brining this valuable
service to Watertown.
Sincerely,
Abhimanyu Bhakta
100 North Beacon St
Watertown, MA 02472
