HomeMy WebLinkAbout20200138 Gersin Shed Correspondance (3) ZBA Application RE:20200138 - Gersin Shed
Dear Board,
My wife and I own parcels 179.4-2-35 and 179.4-2-36, also known as 14 Echo Ridge Drive.
We would like to clarify some of the issues raised at the July 2 meeting. This is most easily done
by sharing with the board the sections from the Interlaken- Zone C site plan dated 9/1/98.
Additionally, it is important to note that this site plan is a part of the HOA documents.
The sections are all pertinent to the questions the board asked.
We have also included a few photos taken of the area.
The first attachment includes four sections from the site plan which clearly state the restrictions
of the "No-Cut" buffer and the responsibility of the HOA to enforce the same.
The next attachment contains three photos which show the clear contrast between the
neighborhoods, Summer Wind and Echo Ridge Drive, and the appearance of the "No-Cut"
buffer in its unadulterated state. If the board compares the photo provided by the Gersins of
their garden it is clear that the shed area has been cleared in the "No-Cut" buffer to
accommodate the placement of the shed, further compromising the "No-Cut" buffer.
The last attachment is an email from Ron Phillips to Stephen Shaw, formerly the head of
Building and Zoning, dated May 12, 2015 establishing a time frame when we began
questioning that the shed was in the "No-Cut" buffer.
Respectfully submitted,
Ron Phillips

Subject:Summer Wind/Echo ridge No Cut/Green Zone
Good Morning Stephen,
Per our conversation as of yesterday the issue is as follows:
9 Waterview Drive abuts our property,14 Echo Ridge Drive.On the attached map it is parcel 5. The owners of that property,9 Waterview,Sue and Jim Gershin,have been
progressively encroaching the protected wooded zone with gardening,fencing and other landscape decoratives as well as a large shed.Most recently they surveyed to
determine where a fence can be placed in the back of their home,which is a part of the no cut/Green Zone.The intent of this fence is not clear,but the owner has stated she is
creating a dog run/kennel area.
The map I have attached was given to me by our neighbor Elizabeth Merena(Breedlove)who negotiated the no cut zone with the developer of Summer Wind.She is certain that
the zone can not be used for any personal purpose or altered in any way based on that agreement.
As you can see from the map,there is a 40 foot minimum no cut following all property lines on the Echo Ridge side.
Please advise what your findings are relative to the issue described as soon as possible as the owners of 9 Waterview are moving along with their plans.
Very truly,
Ron Phillips
