To it Whom it may concern,
I lend full support for the improvements proposed at 223 Massol ave. I have reviewed the plans with the
new owners and believe it will keep with the historic qualities of the neighborhood. I live almost across
the street and think the new 3rd story window offers better architectural balance to the front of the
home while maintaining everyone’s privacy.
Regards,

To
Jay,
As 11 year residents and the next door neighbors of 223 Massol, my wife, Nancy, and I are pleased with
the plans you have drawn for the new owners. We think, with your changes, the house will fit into the
neighborhood far better than it does now. A window replacing the peculiar round vent in the front peak
is more appropriate for a house in the Almond Grove. We look forward to having Katie and Kevin
McLarney as neighbors and we hope that the Historic Commission allows them to move ahead with
their plans.
Stuart Lee
