To my fellow Castleton Residents - I am sharing with you the content of a letter I received from Jonas Rosenthal, Castleton Zoning Administrator, as an abutting neighbor to a proposed project on Sand Hill Road. I have spoken to some in our community that had no idea about this project, and others that while they had heard about it, had no idea the magnitude of the building and project being considered. It is time to pay attention, so I am passing along to inform. Please also check out the April 25, 2022 Select Board Meeting Minutes and attachments to learn more about the proposed 4 story 99-unit senior living facility and two-bay ambulance/rescue building being proposed for Sand Hill Road - just beyond the new solar panels. If you haven't driven down Sand Hill Road lately, please do so. Also, if you are not aware, there is another solar panel farm happening along Rt 4 by Exit 5 - a west array and east array. Also of interest is the Castleton Vermont 2018 Town Plan document which is available on the Castleton Town website.

Lastly, the proposed Sand Hill building is a replica of a building in Berlin, VT. To see a picture of the proposed building structure here is the link - https://chestnutplacevt.com/

I don't know, maybe on Route 30? Route 4? But residential Sand Hill Road? Please share with other Castleton residents.

Thanks for your time - Katy Culpo
