To the editor:

For the better part of a year now I have read every article written on the monastery. Many people have offered their concerns, ideas and advice. I believe the Council and the Planning board have been very receptive to the public's concerns, specifically to the neighborhood surrounding the Monastery. 

Honestly, I feel certain people are trying to stall the process and create more drama. I believe the Planning board's recommendations are not only good, but thoughtful of the surrounding neighborhood and their major concerns. 

The only way to nix the troubling concerns of unacceptable activity on the property site is to move forward with the proposed plan to build the single family homes on the existing property and create a nice little neighborhood.
