SEF 6 September 12, 1996 Mr. Clark alVinsloyv 1595 Bo�ns Po,ifit Road �n� .-,.,+ � nnin 'ccnta �+r�i�Q1 vvuj��u�, ,::,, '�7d ,�., Dear Clark: After several conversations with you, I felt I should express in writing my objections to building a tennis court on the Circle on Bohns Point. Because of these objections, I am against the tennis court proposal. My main objections are: 1) My home is the most directly affected by the building of this tennis court. It will be almost literally in my front yard. No matter what "play times" are enforced, I will be affected by the noise and activity a tennis court creates. Because the Circle is directly in front of my home, a tennis court will change the view from my home and the feeling of privacy and openness I now enjoy. 2) Because I have been selling upper bracket real estate for 10 years (and nine homes on Bohns Point), I believe this tennis court will � a t �_ �,........,. •� 'a.. n�gaiiveiy aifiec� tha rea� esta�a vaiuc o� Tiij� i iv��ic uci.aua8 i� i�� i�2�t proximity. A privately owned court is one thing - a neighborhood court sited in an open central area would have a negative real estate impact on all of our homes in my professional opinion. 3) I am very concerned about the increased liability a tennis court would create for the homeowners. 4) I feel strongly that hard cover regulations are in place to protect areas like our Circle. They exist to discourage or stop overbuilding on a property to preserve increasingly precious existing land. The tennis court would consume a very large portion of the Circle and therefore be very intrusive. The Circle is open land that has provided all of us with additional privacy because there are no structures or building sites on it. I value that privacy over any proposal to build a structure on this land.
