be a sufficient buffer.

That second row of 5 ovorUr0000, which will minimally. Vroyido a visual buffer for me, at $15; each. totals about $750. I would rather have that money spent on an appropriate fence, than useless trees, 'planted dOwn in a holo. Also that oloVw is so steep, that the trees will appear much shorter from 0y perspective, standing on my property. If -that second row of 5 tr000 is planted further down the oloVe,. I might be lucky to see the tops of them from my yard. I want it stated FOR• THE RECORD that the tree buffer is very unsatisfactory to me. As you recall, many of these items were verbally dioouooed with you over the phone -- but verbal ion^t tangible proof of aoythiny. That is why I wrote this letter, as written documentation, of the issues discussed, for the oit«^o records.. Sincerely, Susan :alooth P.S. In the 8/28/95 Council "minutes", page 2, Mayor Reinert had instructed you to worKwith the city ooyineer to inform the other property owners, living on the • north oidw of Holly Drive, booidomyooI[ -- with a letter telling them that they have a right to a fence buffer also. This action was necessary, because at a July 1995 meeting' with tho doveloVe| at my home, you had discouraged the other property owners from haviny an opportunity to receive a fence themselves. In recent conversations with them (as late as yesterday afternoon), they did not receive any.such letter yet. And when I had lookod through the "Trapper's Crossing" file, at the end of November 1995, there was no evidence of any "fencing" letters to these property owners in it either. 6y question in: "Why did my neighbors not receive any revised infn/matiVn on the .fence buffer yet° which you Were directed by Mayor Reinert himself, toaddwoo° almost 5 months ago?" In closing, I want it noted FOR THE RECORD, that Hokanoon Development has not yet corrected the steep slope and•erodod area right next to my barn -- this has been an on-going problem, since he initially excavated it,.back in July� 1995. This has all been diligently dooymontod with video tapes and photos.
