[Massplanners] BTA zoning question

[Stephen Wallace]

The good folks at CHAPA were kind enough to send me Westminster's example of an MBTA property owner notification, which I've modified for Sterling (see attached).  Use in good health!

Fellow Planners, a question for you MBTA communities: for the properties that fall within your overlay districts, have any of you sent letters to the affected property owners alerting them that you were including them in the district?

I'd love to see some examples if they're out there.

Thanks
