This may be too late, but you can include Marblehead as part of those communities that have located their required MBTA district in an area that is likely not going to produce new housing in the near future. Category: built-up area with existing multi-family

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">Hello,</span></p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="color: black;">West Newbury is scheduled to vote on their proposed MBTA Overlay District next Monday, April 28. I have been asked to compile a list of communities that have located their required MBTA district in an area that is likely not going
to produce little or no new housing in the near future before the night of our town meeting. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">Could you let me know of any other communities that have used this approach? The examples of MBTA overlay district locations I'm looking for could be broken
into the following categories:</span></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<li style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; margin: 0in;">
Thickly settled area</li><li style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; margin: 0in;">
Commercial/Industrial Development</li><li style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; margin: 0in;">
Existing Multi-family housing</li><li style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; margin: 0in;">
Etc.</li></ul>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">We have located our overlay district on a 19 acre parcel with two buildings that is under agreement with a developer that would prefer to use the proposed MCMOD
bylaw (if adopted). If there was sewer, there is a potential to build more than required by the MBTA law.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">I understand that locating the required district in these types of areas is acceptable and I do not mean to imply that it is wrong to do. We want to be prepared
with facts when answering questions from the public asking why we didnt consider locating the district in an area that would result in little or no new housing.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">Thank you!</span></p>
