Tom, Claire and I very much appreciate the yes-or-no ballot on the Neighborhood Conservation Zoning Overlay. We believe it will be much clearer for both our voting neighbors and as we tally the results. I’ve made some notes on the two documents that you sent. (see attached) I was careful to note the name of our initiative as a Neighborhood Conservation Zoning Overlay. You’ll see my recommended additions in green highlight and my suggested edits in yellow highlight and strikethrough text. Please let me know if my notes are unclear — I am happy to explain! We appreciate your efforts so much. This has been a challenging process, and your leadership and guidance have been crucial.
