Dear Mr. Johnson:
Valley Senior Services Alliance has constructed a well in the McKean Square
development with the intention of providing irrigation water to the entire Boutwells
Landing campus. This well is adjacent to a newly constructed pond and stream running
north to south through McKean Square. In our continuing effort to develop an attractive
site, offering a pleasant nature experience to the residents of Boutwells Landing, we
intend to construct a building to house the pumps and provide a spot to rest along the
trail.
This structure will house the large irrigation pump as well as a small pump which .
circulates the water in the stream. The master control system for the irrigation system will
also be located in the pump house. The pump house section will be built into the ground
in a walkout configuration. The upper level of the structure will provide a shaded respite
area for those using the extensive Boutwells trail system. From this location, users of the
trails can pause and look out at the stream, waterfalls, pond and stone arch bridge with
the wetland beyond.
We look forward to your favorable consideration of this small addition to the beautiful
natural setting at McKean Square.
Sincerely,
Kenneth L. Hooge
