To the editor:
As a member of the Planning Board, I must point out errors in the April 3 article “Petition opposing MBTA zoning plan surfaces” which includes misinformation about the overlay district. The maximum building height in Marblehead is 35 feet, not 45 feet, even for multi-family buildings. Furthermore, Marblehead’s site plan review process reviews a project’s compatibility with its surroundings and may require a reduction in building height where appropriate as a condition for approval.
The minimum lot area per dwelling unit is also not correct. In the three proposed districts (Broughton Road, Pleasant Street and Tioga Way), the minimum lot area per dwelling unit would range from 2,200 to 2,500 square feet, not 1,500 to 2,500.
