The property has an area of 266 sq. ft (estimate) Please refer to our original documentation including:: maps, legal description and letter from the current lessee. We are contesting the counsel denial for the following reasons. The city concern about setting precedence or adding an unreasonable increase of work load for the city staff is mediated by the lack of past request of kind and the fact that the counsel and staff are there to help its citizens regardless of the work involved. I spoke with Nancy Link, director of Cherry Lane golf course concerning our request. She responded that the board of directors is in full agreement with it as it solves a nuisance problem in maintaining this property. I ask Ms. Link if they have had any request of this nature in the past and her answer was no.. To confirm this conversation please feel free to call Ms. Link.. The lot adjustment does not create a hinderance to other property owners nor does it interfere with the play of golf. It would however, allow us to add to our patio and house in conformance with all city set back ordinance and Subdivion CC@Rs requirements . Additionally, we could build a fence that would not have a disfigurement It is our desire to met all of the requirements be it State or City and, are willing to do whatever work that will help expedite this request.. We appreciate the counsels time given to this matter and hope they will responds favorably. We would greatly appreciate notification as to when the request be apart of the counsel agenda so that we maybe present If you have any questions please feel free to call us at 884 8533 Thank You Robert Buonodono Merslian City Council Special Meeting 1AuQust 31, 2004 Page 12 ~ 14 Rountree: Madam Mayor?

They give you little stickers. And so just bring your tidce# in with you. Rountree: ff there is a spot. De Weerd: And I have given you a letter that was written by our Ptanning and Zoning Department in reference to a piece of property they have been looking at for a campus type of function, so, please, keep that in mind as we go in there tomorrow for discussion. I also had a couple of items in front of you that I wanted feedback on. This one from Ashford Greens Homeowners Association, 1 talked to Brad Watson about this and in discussion with our city attorney, it does look tike there are three different maintenance agreements that kind of say three different things and we just need some clarity from the City Council to instruct the aty attorney to draw a clearer agreement that will make it consistent of expectations that we have for our homeowners associations in dealing with their drainage ponds. Did I summarize tha# okay? t don't know, maybe Gaty hadn't been updated on this one, but - so we will put that on next week. I did have a letter contesting the decision or -- about seAing a piece of property on the golf course. They would like to come personally in front of City Counal and since this Mad an opinion from Council, I wanted to know your feelings on if we should or not. Rountree: Madam Mayor, I don't see any reason. i think the decision has been made. t don't think we are in the position to want to hear people coming to the Council establishing a forum for them to bargain with the city on the city's property. I mean the next thing it's going to be auction property and old police cars and, you know, -- if our policy is no, it's no. De Weerd: Okay. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I would concur with that. We discussed it quite long when we denied it and we would be setting a precedent, 1 believe, and I don't believe we are ready to do that. De Weerd: Okay. Well, 1 will certainly let them know that the deasion is final by Council. Mr. Wardle, I don't have quite a quorum on that decision. Wardle: I agree, Madam Mayor. De Weerd: Okay. Okay. ff there is no further business in front of Council, I would entertain a motion. Bird: I move that we adjourn.
