The Cambridge City Manager has been communicating with Beazer regarding former commitments. In 2003, Beazer agreed to complete a paved river walk along the creek. The river walk would permit the public to walk the perimeter of the Deep Harbour property along the bulkhead, The river walk has been completed from the Cedar Street gate to the north side of the marina. The vacant land also known as the future site of Townhouse 4 is the section in question. The cost of the river walk project is Beazer's responsibility.
The city has had a continuing dialogue with Beazer regarding their back taxes and fees. When Beazer altered their development from multi-unit condo buildings to townhouses, the city cited the lost tax revenue and charged Beazer $550,000 for the changes. Beazer agreed, but, is in arrears with the city for a significant amount.
This discourse is very important to us. The Deep Harbour Master Association holds title to the bulkhead, streets, and river walk. Beazer does not contribute nor are they obliged to contribute to the maintenance of theses common elements. This is expressed in our governing documents.
This issue is more complicated than I have expressed here. The DHMA Board of Directors will be following events over the next several months. As things develop, notices will follow.
Regards,
George B,
President - Deep Harbour Master Association
