RE: LA21-000076
We are writing in strong support of the variance requests by Yardscapes for the property at 1720 Bohns
Point Road, which is adjacent to our home.
The retaining wall in question was likely constructed when the first home was built on the property in
the 1950s. This concrete block wall is visibly failing. Not only is the wall tremendously unsightly, but it is
a potential safety hazard, especially during periods of heavy rain.
Yardscapes’ proposal to reconstruct this wall will provide the necessary reinforcement, will greatly
improve the appearance of their property from the lake, and will provide an attractive aesthetic that is
consistent with the quality of the home on the property.
We urge the Planning Commission to approve all variance requests pertaining to the reconstruction of
this retaining wall.
Sincerely,
Peter and Melissa Santrach
