Hi, I am looking to do some light sanding/screening and polyurethane finish for soft pine flooring and hoping someone might have a recommendation. Also looking for a recommendation for a good tile person. Thanks & Happy New Year!!

Thanks, Cathy McCormick (excerpt from Craig Kelley email of Jan 2) Begin forwarded message: From: "Kelley, Craig" <ckelley(a)cambridgema.gov> Date: January 2, 2014 2:54:36 PM EST Subject: Gourmet Express large project review this Monday, 4 January at 5:30 PM and some other Porter Square construction stuff Folks: The Gourmet Express site project will have a large project review in the fourth floor meeting room of 344 Broadway (City Hall Annex) on Monday, January 6, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. "on a proposal to construct 26 units and 41 parking spaces at 1868 Massachusetts Avenue. There seems to be some connection between the extra parking spaces and Lesley University. I've attached the CDD meeting notification. Basically, this review will go over the project plans to make sure that a Special Permit is not needed. If that is the case and a Special Permit is not needed, the discussion about what goes where and how is pretty much over except to the extent that Inspectional Services will still have to approve the building plans and make sure it gets constructed as proposed. While public comment is allowed at these reviews, it's not something where the Planning Board listens to public comment and figures out how to respond. This process is much more administrative, making sure the project does not need a special permit.. You can learn more by contact CDD's Liza Paden directly at 617/349-4647, or lpaden(a)cambridgema.gov. The plans for this project are available on line at http://www.cambridgema.gov/CDD/zoninganddevelopment/largeprojectreview.aspx. On that page you can also see the plans, and certificates of compliance, for two other projects in the immediate area- the former "Bob Slate" building (20 units, 20 parking spaces and 3925 square feet of ground floor retail) and 18 White Street (8 units and 8 parking spaces). _______________________________________________ PSNA mailing list PSNA(a)lists.portersquare.net http://lists.portersquare.net/listinfo.cgi/psna-portersquare.net
