Dear Mike:
Please know that this letter is written and sent with the highest hopes of mairrtaining a neighborly friendship. Our
ultimate goal in wri�ng and sending this letter is to resolve the matter of your encroaching landscape structures
without any further action and without any bickering.
I know that you have had hopes of being able to purchase part of our yard forthe purpose of improving
your Ivt and to accommodate your landscape wishes.We have expressed to you,on numerous occasions, our
complete lack of irrterest in selling,to you or to anyone, any portion of our fot; regardless of your offer to pay the
costs associated with doing so.We have,thus far,tolerated your total lack of respect for our property boundarles
in the irrterest of neighborhood peace and harmony. Your encraaching boulder wall poses a serious dangerto
our children.They have already faNen from the wall several times in the past They have fallen from their bicydes in
our backyard and landed on your encroaching rock bed.We are unwilling to chance serious injury to our children
for the sake of your landscaping plans.At this poirrt in time,we feel we are justi5ed in demanding that you comply
with our rigFrts as property owners and do the right thing as a nelghbor. We herebv foi►na/lv r�eauest fhat►rou
remove anv and aU encroachmen[,from our propertv As a pesture of aood neiahborfiness we will arant
you 45 davs fo be in comaliance. There�'o►�e.bv Sentember 16fh 2000 we expect to have back comp/ete
use of ourlof,fiiee from anv inbvs/ons or encroachments bv vou or any sbvcture aermanent or ofihe�wlse
I am sorry i#you find this latter conirontational. However,you have been aware, all along,thet we were not
willing to sell you any po�ion of our yard.You knew it before you installed your boulder wall, you knew it before you
installed your underground water spnnkler system and you knew it before you laid down your sod.We talked to you
about the possibility of us installing a#ence along the property line,and the possibility of severing your underground
sprinkler system pipes that you buned on our side of the{ot line.That possibility still exists.While we will do
everything possible to awid your water system,the fact remains that you went ahead and buried parts of it in our
yard,...knowing full well where the property lines ran.Therefore we cannot be held responsible for any damage to
your system on our side of the lot line.
Please, please do the right thing as a human being and as a neighbor and take care of this as
expeditiously as possible.The sooner this matter is resolved,the sooner we can get back to being good neighbors.
Thank you in adwance for your cooperation and understanding.
5incerely,
Jason 8�L.ana Belcourt
