Message from The Board of Directors, Blind Brook Lodge Owners Inc., 66 Milton Road

The July 15^th meeting of the Rye City Planning Commission concluded with the Commission stating that they would prepare a memo for the August Rye City Council meeting summarizing their recommendations for the Rye Arts Center (RAC) regarding their proposed zoning amendment to permit an Arts Center Use standard, and the RACs intended use of the 25 Milton Road site.

We ask that this memo be made available for public comment prior to any further action by the Planning Commission or City Council on this matter, and that you continue to maintain complete transparency in the review process.

We also wish to repeat that we adamantly disapprove of the Rye Art Center’s proposal because of its negative impact on public safety, the 25 Milton Road adjacent residential community, and the long-term sustainability of the City of Rye.

We thank the Planning Commission and City Council for your ongoing consideration of these important issues for the Rye community.

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors

Blind Brook Lodge Owners, Inc.
