When inquiry was made how the <br /> mature spruce trees (30-40') between our properties would be protected from the heat and <br /> fire damage, the caller informed us that Mr. Broitzman was planning on cutting those down. <br /> This has hit a huge nerve with us, as Troy had promised us last fall that he would not be <br /> cutting any more trees down that are on the border between our properties, which serve as a <br /> major screen. <br /> We have two young sons and a third son due in two months. This is the home we plan on <br /> living in long term and raising our sons to adulthood. We have been fully accepting of a <br /> new house being built next door to us and any inconveniences it might cause for us in the <br /> next year or two, without complaint. The choices Mr. Broitzman makes for the future of <br /> 1860 will affect our property in a real way, and his choices have already no� been <br /> particularly positive, but we have been willing to work with him on remedies. We have <br /> certainly allowed for his inexperience, lack of aesthetic judgment and have felt sincerely that <br /> he needs a "fair shake" in this development process. <br /> We have been the last remaining neighbors who have been generous with Mr. Broitzman and <br /> if he has truly planned to cut those trees down, frankly, we have run out of graciousness. <br /> This cycle of running next door or returning long phone calls to review every change of <br /> plans Mr. Broitzman has made over the past nine months on his plans for 1860 has now <br /> become a hassle and imposition. If Mr. Broitzman is indeed the builder he considers <br /> himself, he should not require constant babysitting on this project, and he should know what <br /> he is doing by now. Based on the information from the Long Lake Fire Department that he <br /> was going to cut down the remaining screen between our houses, this shows not only <br /> immaturity, but a breach of our personal agreement and a failure to grasp the great advice <br /> and direction given to him by both the Council and the neighbors for the past many months. <br /> We will both be attending the meeting on Monday evening, and truly appreciate your <br /> ;ii ni�nn� <br />
