To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, ยง10, I hereby request the following records:
The Institutional Master Plan Notification Form submitted to the BRA in 2007 that outlines Harvard's preliminary plans to secure the Charlesview Apartments and other properties that together comprise the North Harvard Urban Renewal Plan Area.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Emily Hopkins

Emily Hopkins,
The Boston Redevelopment Authority has received your request for public
records pertaining to the North Harvard 2007 Institutional Master Plan
Notification Form. We would be happy to help you with these records. Is
there a time that you would be available to speak so as to ensure that we
provide you with the correct records?

Emily:
I'll send you a .pdf file of the IMPNF through our attachment server, since
it's too big to go through regular e-mail.
Note that the review process initiated by the 2007 IMPNF was never
completed. Harvard paused its planning for several years before filing a
new IMPNF in 2012, leading to an approved IMP in 2013.
Best,
Gerald

Thank you so much Mr. Autler. I was wondering if you could also send me the new IMPNF filed in 2012 and approved in 2013. I can file another request if necessary.
Best,
Emily
