The Franklin Turnpike goes from the upper middle left to the lower middle right.
The dark spot in the upper right is the Celery Farm and Lake Appert.
The developer wants to tear down the historic house, barn and root cellar, build 11 townhouses, and have all stormwater runoff flow under Franklin Turnpike and into the Celery Farm.

ABOUT THE FELL HOUSE
The historic Fell House is located at 475 Franklin Turnpike, near the 107-acre Celery Farm Natural Area.
The property is 2.78 acres. A developer wants to tear down the Fell House and its beautiful outbuildings and build 11 townhomes.
He is asking for a huge variance -- townhouse developments are supposed to be on 10-acre lots, not on one that is less than three acres.
Our group, the Concerned Citizens of Allendale, is trying to save the house and property.
We are a 501c3 non-profit group.
Our Web site is savethefellhouse.org.
Please, help us save this wonderful home and property.
