Hey Tim,
Thanks for the info. I'm hoping that the rumblings just mean that our neighbors are looking for more
information and detail. Of course, by not contacting you or approaching us in person, I'm wondering if
there is some type of concern with our proposal.
I spoke with our building designer a few minutes ago. I don't think that we could get drawings in time for
the meeting, so we're hoping to just verbally describe our intentions if necessary.
Thanks again for your help,
Chase

Hi Jacey. So far I have not been contacted by any of your neighbors, but apparently you’ve heard
“rumblings” suggesting one or more are concerned. That is one of the reasons I suggested drawings to
accurately portray your verbally stated parking slab work, possible driveway loop work, and house
renovation will be helpful. I don’t think an attorney is necessary; your presence and frank portrayal of
the proposal should be adequate (if necessary.)
Back to having drawings on hand: 1) you can imagine, if you had complete drawings that eliminate
guess-work by people like me and by neighbors, that wouldn’t hurt; and 2) beware, if you gain approval
for the items we’ve covered so far yet add something new later as your plans are completed, you risk
having to go back through this process for another variance or two.
Nevertheless, it’s up to you as to the thoroughness of your submittal.
Note: If someone shows up and makes a valid/reasonable objection to your proposal, and it doesn’t look
like you can resolve it right there on the spot, you’ll probably be best served by requesting a one-month
deferral in order to resolve the matter. - Tim

Hey Tim,
I hope all is well. I thought I'd ask a question in light of our meeting tomorrow. We've heard that a few
neighbors may attend to see what we're up to. Considering this, should we be prepared with any form
of legal council or further documentation?
Please let us know.
Thanks,
Jacey and Chase
