We, the undersigned voters of the Town of Sharon oppose the new site plan currently under consideration for the Sharon Commons Lifestyle Mall project. Specifically, we believe that approval of the new layout of the building currently planned for occupancy by Target Corporation exceeds the scope of authority granted the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) by the voters of the Town of Sharon at town meeting, by changing the character of the project from a that of a “lifestyle” mall to that of a “power” mall.
Beth Greene of the Sharon Commons Design Review Committee stated publicly at the most recent ZBA meeting that this site plan does not meet the criteria that town meeting approved. This site plan will change the character of the mall from a “lifestyle” mall to a “power” mall.
We, the undersigned voters of the Town of Sharon respectfully request that the ZBA select a site plan more in keeping with the scope of authority granted by the voters of the Town of Sharon at town meeting for a “lifestyle” mall.
I have been hearing from so many of you who are worried about how much this project is drifting from what we actually voted for at the town meeting. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I am just one person who wanted to make sure our town character is protected.
June 11, 2012
Seeing this level of movement reminds me that the character of our town really belongs to the people living here. I am honestly stunned by how many of you stepped up to demand clarity on this project.

Traffic is already a nightmare. A big box store is just gonna make it worse for everyone living here.

Please stick to the original plan. We dont want the property values taking a hit because you cant follow the rules.

This isn't what we voted for. Stop changing the plans to favor big corporations over the town's character.

The ZBA needs to listen to the Review Committee. They know what the town actually approved!

Ridiculous. We were promised a lifestyle mall, not another huge power center. Keep your word.
