Hi Eric, James and Monica:
Tree House is closing in on the last approval needed from the planning board. One of the final few items is a request
from the Board that Four Winds be sought for comment on the color of the privacy fencing we intend to place on our
property near your border. The Board would prefer a change away from the white privacy fencing that is currently in
place at Saratoga Honda, and move towards a natural color brown or wood privacy fence. If you are comfortable with
that, please confirm via phone or email.
We are hoping to get a response to the City by Wednesday afternoon, in hopes of making their agenda for 4/11.
I appreciate your time or attention to this matter.
Thank you,
John B. Cannie, Esq.

Dear Board Members:
I am counsel for Four Winds Hospital. Previously, on November 30, 2024, members of our senior management team
appeared before you to raise some concerns about the Tree House project which neighbors our property. Specifically, the
concern was noise form the outdoor eating and drinking and associated music spilling over into our site, and the location
of public areas close to the property line.
Since that November 30th meeting, myself and other Four Winds staff have met with Sarah Maggi Morin of Tree House
Brewing Company and their attorney, John Cannie, who is copied on this email, to discuss mitigation of our concerns. In
those meetings Tree House has presented us with a revised site plan and noise study for the proposed project. The removal
of the pavilion in the rear alleviated the concerns of Tree House patrons close to our property line. Additionally, the sound
study presented to us provides Four Winds with sufficient security that the noise from amplified music will not disrupt the
service we provide to our patients.
Based upon the revisions made to the site plan and our review of the sound study, Four Winds fully supports the project as
proposed. We appreciate Tree House’s willingness to listen to our concerns and work with our team to achieve a mutually
agreeable project. We look forward to having them as neighbors.
Sincerely,
Eric Weinstein
COO and General Counsel
