Dear Mr. Margotta:
In compliance with the Architectural Review Board's
decision for us to replace the existing 62 linear feet
wooden fence on our property, at 286 North Washington
Street, we have obtained an estimate for the professional
installation of a new fence.
We find the appraised amount of $1450.00 totally
unfeasable and a true financial hardship. The decision to
replace a sturdy and well-built structure, for the sake of
a height that can be reduced in other ways, is further
adding to the emotional and financial stress we have had to
endure.
For years, we have been harassed by Mr. McLean regarding
the position of the fence. We have had to contract
Mr. Charles Riley twice, (1990 and October 1995) to re-survey
and re-stake our property, at our expense, to prove to
Mr. McLean that the fence is on our side of the property
line. With his accusations, he has attempted to coerce us
into taking down the entire fence, so he can have open
access to drive freely through our driveway with his
plumbing business trucks, winter business plow, and other
vehicles.
You will recall, Mr. McLean was very specific and
stated numerous times during the meeting of October 25, "95,
"this fence is a nuisance" to him.
We would like to invite the members of the Architectural
Review Board to visit the site, and determine for themselves
the condition of the wooden fence. We are more than willing
to reduce its height to code.
We trust that the BOard will review this case with a
fair and open mind.
Very truly yours,
