I am running for one of the two open positions on Lincoln’s Planning Board because I believe my presence on the Board would have a positive impact on the Town. For the past 18 months, I have attended most of the Planning Board meetings and am familiar with Lincoln’s zoning bylaws, regulations, and the issues the Board addresses. I served on the Zoning Board of Appeal for 8 years and am currently Co-Chair of the Conservation Commission. As a retired real estate lawyer, I understand the limits and opportunities inherent in Massachusetts' zoning statute, which establishes the powers of Lincoln’s Planning Board. I value Lincoln’s rural character while recognizing the state-wide need for more housing. We need to arrive at a comfortable balance between nature and the built environment.
I value meaningful community input on local decisions and will strive to create a welcome atmosphere for the opinions of our engaged residents. I value a clear and open public process, where decisions are made in full view of the public, and information is shared on a timely basis. A keen seeker of the facts, I am comfortable asking uncomfortable questions, always with respect. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact me. I would like to know your position on the local issues which concern you. Thank you for paying attention to this important election. Susan Hall Mygatt
