David, Per our telephone conversation, attached is our letter regarding our October
26th meeting with you. We definitely DO NOT want the split fence but everything else
is what we all agreed upon.

Re: Southern Springs Fence Modification Issue
This letter is to inform you of the wishes of the residents in Running Brook Estates
regarding a fence for protection and privacy from the Southern Springs Development
currently being built directly behind our homes.
We (Dale 8: Tammy Rogers) and several of our affected neighbors met with The Land
Group, the developers of Southern Springs on October 26th to discuss the issue of the
placement of a fence. The majority of residents that attended the meeting were in
agreement that we must have a fence to protect our privacy from the development. This
is not a new issue. A fence was agreed upon when this project first started. The
issue has been where to place the fence.
Although not our first choice, on October 26th it was finally agreed that the fence would
be placed directly on the west side of the 'dual purpose path' but placed at the same
grade as the path, ie, not any lower than the already paved path. Any lower would
defeat the purpose of a 6 foot fence because of the way the land sits. It was agreed
that it would be a minimum of 6 foot high and tan in color and that it would be open on
the south and north end. We do NOT agree to a split fence, ie. several sections being
open along the path and as a matter of fact, are very much against a split fence. The
south and north openings should be sufficient since this "walking path" really goes
NOWHERE and really is not very long in length. Openings along the path would only
cause many negative issues regarding trash, crime, headlights, etc., not to
mention issues with our privacy because of the way our homes are positioned along the
creek. On October 26th, we agreed to a fence as above but NOT to any other openings
except at the south entrance and the north entrance. We would prefer that this fence
be completed immediately and then we request that the city place signs at either
entrance prohibiting motorized vehicles along the "path" since motorized vehicles are
currently "ripping" up and down the path. It is enough to have to give up our privacy
with people walking this path but to have to hear motorized sounds and undo noise
would not be fair to the residents.
Thank you in advance to the Mayor and City Council for listening to our concerns and to
the developer for helping us to reach a compromise that we can all live with!!!
Very truly yours,
Dale and Tammy Rogers
