Subject: 	Re: 118 - Bike Rack site plan submission change

Barbara and Jean:

I have discussed this informally with Jeff Levine and he indicated he thought it could be possible to approve these racks but needed to determine what potential issues might exist.  

We are striving to create a truly fine building in a prominent location along Congress Street on Munjoy Hill.  Our efforts focus not only within the units and building public areas but also along the street itself for the benefit of the neighborhood.  We feel that the “number” bike racks are an important element in the overall presentation of the building within the neighborhood.

We are willing to have the Condominium Association agree to maintain and, if necessary in the future, replace the bike racks to relieve the City of future obligations. 

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss this important element of our project with you and any other appropriate City officials, and I apologize for the late timing of the request; the “Number” bike rack has been on our drawings for the past year and I was not aware that they had not been presented to the City.

Regards,

Chip
