Dear Jennifer and HCAWG
I don’t know if there will be time to ask my questions on zoom. So I hope it
is ok for me to ask my questions here!
1. May I know why there seems to be a common thread that include rezoning the
Lincoln Mall in all the options C, D1, D2, D3?
2. Are there members of RLF
Thank you David! We should take this letter to every district that is proposed
by HCAWG!

Hi all! I'm looking for housing for myself and my one (very clean, quiet,
well-behaved, non-destructive) cat. I adore Lincoln and was wondering if
anyone has any sort of in-law apartment, accessory unit, or guest house
they'd consider renting out? Thanks in advance! :)

Want new snow tires? I’ve got 4 top-of-the-line Bridgestone Blizzak WS90s
gently used on my Toyota Prius for 3 months in mild winter 2023. No longer have
the car or need the tires.
Paid $600 (buy 3, get one free), asking $200 or best offer.

Please let us know exactly what legal teeth site plan review has.
I have asked for that repeatedly and have heard….crickets.
Yes there will be some wetlands protections, but not Lincoln’s set backs.

But please, do tell what legal options will we have to actually
At the previous planning/hcawg meeting of October 24th, we learned that RLF
is planning to hire a consultant to draw potential renderings of a new
Lincoln Mall and present them to the town at some point. It is really
hard for town residents to evaluate the potential impact of the proposed
Thank you. It is not clear how the stuffing units at the train station

Hi all -
We might want to bump up our legal budget going forward because with the
HCA behind them, developers might not be so inclined to listen to a town's
planning board. If a developer's site plan and proposal meets the
technical requirements for the zoned area, how long can the Planning
The HCAWG has had many meetings that have been open and are available on video.
I believe if you go to the town website, you can find them.
Citizens comments and questions are there too.

I do not believe there to be deception.

This is a very interesting point. According to the post below, the RLF is a
private organization, and we shouldn’t expect them to share their
negotiations with Civico. Yet this private organization, which stands to
benefit from HCA rezoning, has secured not only one but two seats on the

I'm not sure why we are playing this game of hide the 'expected'
developments.
It is true that very little in life is guaranteed. However, I think smart
citizens should expect development to follow zoning. Cautious citizens
should definitely be prepared and expect for it to follow. I think it
The proposed zoning changes are for two separate zones:
- The "HCA zone"
- A mixed use zone at the Mall.
In other words, there *are* separate mixed use and HCA residential zones.
The current plan is to have one warrant article that creates both zones at
the March town meeting. We do get unit
It’s been very hard to read message after message of people accusing others of trying to ruin this town. I’m really very sad and tired of hearing it all. 1. At the last town meeting, people told the RLF their renderings were too generic and asked them to put together renderings that were more

Rich: while your statement is accurate, it is still unclear to me what may
happen in the collision between State and Local standards, e.g., the
difference in wetland buffers once a property owner aligns with a developer

The HCA is about zoning - what property owners have a right to do with
their property. It is not about housing production and there is no town
project to develop housing.
The Mall is private property owned by the Rural Land Foundation. The RLF is
a private 501(c)(3) organization. It would be
Once rezone with the HCA, the property owner can put up pretty much whatever
they want.
That is the point of the HCA-to get around our normal process for managing
development in Lincoln.
No proposals are required for the town to see.
The development is BY RIGHT, they just need to comply with
I think it is misleading to use statements such as "the developer can do
whatever they want".
Existing regulations and site plan review give the town oversight.
After all, residential property owners have the by right ability to build a
new home but cannot build whatever they want.
