LETTER: Answers Wanted About Excavation Done Without Warning Neighbors

Neighbors of the project at 71 Salisbury Road say the excavation has impacted their properties, and they did not receive notice. (The following letter also was sent to Town of Watertown officials)

In 2016, discussions began in Watertown about a proposed development behind our Templeton Parkway home, on a steep, rocky 0.10 acre property with a large seam of ledge at 71 Salisbury Road. Concerns were clearly expressed about potential damage to neighboring properties that heavy excavation of the ledge might cause. My next door neighbor talked with the developer about this concern. Councilor Kounelis sent a message of concern to the Planning Department.
