I <br /> Summer Office Hours: May 19 through August 29, 2014 <br /> Monday through Thursday: 7:30 am to 5 pm & Fridays: 7:30 am to 11:30 am <br /> _ _ __ _ <br /> From: Rick Appie [maiito:a�plerc@gmail.coml . <br /> Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2014 9:44 AM <br /> To: Melanie Curtis <br /> Subject: Winkey project <br /> Melanie,thank you for your time and help. I thought you might be interested to see the email that the Winkeys <br /> sent to their neighbors before they started the project so I here it is: <br /> Hi Neighbors! <br /> Travis& I wanted to let our direct neighbors know that in the next few weeks we will be starting an in ground pool project. <br /> We will be pulling up our sport court and replacing it with a pool. We will not be incurring any additional hard cover-in <br /> fact the pool will not be as intrusively big as the current sport court. The pool dimensions are smaller than our <br /> current court. A few smaller trees may be removed in order to allow us to plant evergreens for visual privacy. We will <br /> NOT be installing a fence but investing in an automatic pool cover. <br /> We apologize in advance for the noise and disruption. We are shooting for a mid-August completion date. Let me know if <br /> you have any questions. <br /> Happy Summer! <br /> Travis& Lisa <br /> Based on this, we all thought the project was pretty much a non-issue but, as we discussed, this is not at all <br /> representative of what happened: <br /> 1. 25+ sugar maples were removed, at least 10 of which were large, mature ones. <br /> 2. I don't know the size of the pool vs. the previous sport court, but when one includes the surrounding concrete <br /> area, the fire pit, etc., the area is MUCH bigger than the sport court was(which is why they had to excavate into <br /> the small berm that separates us.) Clearly, the Winkey"announcement"is completely misleading in this regard. <br /> 3. There was no mention that industrial-style equipment would be added to their yard with no screening. <br /> 4. Etc., etc., etc. <br /> Beyond all these specifics, the larger point is that they knowingly violated neighborhood covenants and continue to do so <br /> (not only with the pool, but with the satellite dish on the roof, the in-ground basketball hoop, etc.)and neither they, nor the <br /> 3 <br />
