DATE: January 6 , 1993
SUBJECT: Proposed park trail along east boundary of Heritage
Landing plat
Our property is located south of County Road 30 adjoining the
east boundary of the land Richard Kincanon is preparing to develop
as Heritage Landing. We have two concerns about the proposed park
trail for which a 20 foot wide easement is indicated on the east
boundary of the plat.
1 . Privacy: Because our house is situated 20 feet east of the
property line with bedrooms on the west end of the house we are
very uncomfortable with having a public trail so close to the
property line. We request that consideration be given to moving
the park trail away from the property line and/or establishing
some kind of privacy barrier such as a solid wood fence or thick
hedge.
2 . Preservation of existing trees: There are trees growing on or
along the property line from our place all the way south to the
Mississippi River. There are Boxelders, Norway Pines, and others .
We request that any park trail be created in such a way that these
trees will not be disturbed or destroyed. It has taken many
years for them to grow to their present size and the area would
be rather barren without them.
Thank you for your consideration of our concerns.
