CITIZENS'S SURVEY notax <br /> xfer fee-2 <br /> prop tax levy- 1 <br /> The questionnaire results are in, (questionnaire both -2 <br /> attached). Altogether,I received 38 responses to the <br /> questionnaire.20 of those responses were from Town Open Space Q4: <br /> Meeting Members Association [TMMA] e-mail list 0.0%- 1 <br /> recipients, 12 of them were from my neighborhood [I 0.5%-2 <br /> am calling it the Pine Meadows neighborhood,for 5.0%-2 <br /> lack of a better name],and 6 of them were from the 7.0+%- 1 <br /> Merriam Hill Association e-mail list recipients. [median-0.5/5.0] <br /> I am not a statistician,but I think it is safe to say that Traffic Ql: <br /> this is far too small a sample set to draw any not important- 1 <br /> meaningful conclusions from.However,I did receive somewhat imp. - 1 <br /> 20 responses from Town Meeting members, and moderately imp. -2 <br /> these 20 responses represent approximately 10%of very important-2 <br /> all Town Meeting members,so we should not [median-moderately important] <br /> discount the TMMA results out of hand. <br /> Traffic Q2: <br /> I will have more comments at our Tuesday night walk comfortably-5 <br /> meeting regarding these results,but I would like to somewhat dangerous- 1 <br /> point out the noticeable lack of consensus among the <br /> TMMA respondents with respect to the 8 managing Other Growth Issues <br /> growth issues(the ones that had to be ranked from 1 Hanscom- 1.6 <br /> to 8).That is, there is not a single issue among the 8 traffic-2.8 <br /> listed that stood out to these respondents.Both the enhance tax base-4.8 <br /> Merriam Hill respondents and the Pine Meadows mansionization-5.0 <br /> respondents ranked Hanscom as the clear#1 issue, pollution-5.0 <br /> but Hanscom was a weak#2 issue according to the auto dependence-5.3 <br /> TMMA respondents.In fact,each of the 8 issues affordable housing-5.8 <br /> received at least one first-place vote from the group center parking-6.0 <br /> of [end of Merriam Hill summary] <br /> TMMA respondents. And all but one of the 8 issues <br /> received at least one last-place vote from the TMMA Pine Meadows neighborhood- 12 responses <br /> respondents. <br /> Open Space Q1: <br /> Summaries of the results: 200 acres- 1 <br /> 500 acres-2 <br /> Merriam Hill Association-6 responses 750 acres-4 <br /> 1000 acres-4 <br /> Open Space Q1: [median-750] <br /> 0 acres- 1 <br /> 300 acres- 1 Open Space Q2: <br /> 500 acres- 1 definitely not-4 <br /> 750 acres- 1 a few units-3 <br /> 1000 acres-2 several units-5 <br /> [median-500/750] [median- a few units] <br /> Open Space Q2: Open Space Q3: <br /> definitely not-2 no tax-3 <br /> a few units-2 R.E. xfer fee-5 <br /> several units-2 prop tax levy- 1 <br /> [median-a few units] both-2 <br /> other- 1 <br /> Open Space Q3: <br /> Managing Growth-27 <br />
