Eastman 2 - Wetlands and elevations

Please Note:
These images and comments were
made before the
hearing at City Hall where
a plan was shown.
I have NOT seen this plan nor was I in
attendance at the meeting.
I am simply stating the facts
so people understand that
these images are NOT the REAL plan.
------------------------------------------
The property I am calling
the "Guess-timate" is NOT
in the wetlands area
(as per the City GIS)
and it is almost entirely above
the 12m (~36') elevation

Could this the first step in Eastman leaving??

(NOTE: I goofed!
Salem Country Club
has the most acreage,
making Eastman number 2)

Eastman Gelatin, the SECOND largest land owner
in the City of Peabody (after the City itself),
is asking for subdivision approval
to construct a 16-unit subdivision near the corner
of Summit and Forest Streets.

I have made a GUESS-timate of the
approximate
location and size of the subdivision
**I HAVE NO SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PLAN!!**

This land is zoned R1A - or 1-family Residential
(below is from City GIS Zoning Database)

Construction behind World Class Billiard on Rt. 1?

This image shows the site
as the building next door was completed.

Note the semi-circular row of small
plantings in the rear of the Billiards site.

This view (below) shows the next door site in early construction

This view (below) shows the next door site in early construction

This view (below) shows the next door site in late construction

Notice the completed planting in the rear of the billiards site

This view (below) shows the next door site in late construction

I have not seen the construction debris
that OG and others have mentioned.
However, based on the site plans (see below)
any construction in the "rear" area of this site
would seem to be on the condominium property,
NOT on the properties facing Route One.

No info was available on the Condo Parcel at the City of Peabody GIS

Another blog about Peabody? What gives?

THIS IS A SIMPLE TEST BALLOON of a Blog...
Not really certain this is going to happen yet...

Hello fellow residents of the City of Peabody, Massachusetts.
We have been lucky to have so much interest in our City lately... at least in blog form.
These blogs have had a few growing pains and are still working out the kinks... but each has something to offer.
I hope that by starting yet another alternative place for people to comment on our City, we can find some common ground and move forward towards a better Peabody for all its citizens.
