We do have a couple of concerns so I submit the <br />following for the record: <br />1. I am questioning the wisdom of granting a hardcover variance given the significant drainage <br />issue we had when constructing our new building. As your records would show, we went to <br />great lengths to manage the stormwater and were required to change the grading and install <br />drain tile the length of the property line in order to manage the flooding we experience during <br />construction. I am concerned that work will be compromised if there is additional runoff. <br />2. I also need to object to moving a structure closer to the property line and in such close <br />proximity to the lovely Amur Maple tree at the property line. From what I can tell, this would <br />require significant pruning of the tree and the overall health of the tree will be compromised <br />by that and the impact of a structure over the root system. This tree is essential to maintain the <br />continuous line of trees along this property line and the street which is an important <br />component of our plans for this part of our landscape. <br />I can certainly appreciate our neighbor's need to build a new garage but I would ask, <br />respectfully, for them to revisit their plans in order to avoid the negative implications for the <br />Art Center. <br />Best, <br />Roxanne <br />Roxanne L.
