Maple trees growing through my deck since 1974 are proof that this is not hardcover. Also not included is the many ft of railroad timber retaining walls that I have removed in an attempt to reduce flooding of my ground floor. Total over count of hardcover removed is close to 2000 sq. ft Wendy has l^n confused from the start of this process. She looked at plans and an exact scale model that showed only the addition and modified area and wrongly decided that I was planning to tear the whole house down. Every time we contacted each other she was confused Clarification only seemed to cause her to find something else to object to. In spite of a very clear set of plans, an exact scale model and many discussions she still gets fundamental facts wrong. Somehow she now wants me to change the lake side of my home, no discussion of where the money would come from, or the time. If s particularly confiising because when she erroneously thought that the entire house was going to be tom down, I wouldn't be allowed to do that, but now it seems like that's exactly what she want's! My discussions with her have started to sound like lefs make a deal. Remove this and Fll let you have that, make that smaller and HI let you do this. Well all of those compromises have already been made with Lyle and Chris. This house is typical of the neighlwriiood, if anything it is smaller than many homes in the area. As for meeting your formula, I would remind you that our home as all of the - homes on Casco Pt are cxisting-non-conforming structure, the rules don't fit so we are grandfathered in. It’s like Wendy isn't going to honor what has been agreed to. She wants to design jniy house h£r way. It doesn't matter what the rules are, only what her interpretation of the mles are. It just seems that if there is a way to say NO! Wendy would rather take it, no matter what grief or hardship that causes. I niftf Bf* *1« wtt M ’f"T■ • I■ Ip^
