Dear

The annual walk of the perimeter of the common areas was held May 15, 2003. During this walk a probable encroachment was discovered.

Mowing beyond the greenbelt boundary as demarcated by the posts, and placement of white pontoons on greenbelt property. Mowing was noted along your side yard beyond the wood pile and behind your back yard.

In the reply to last years Encroachment letter, dated June 6, 2002 you stated “If I may explain the grass on the side of the wood pile she refers to in her letter. We recently moved the wood pile over so the grass would grow and we could create a natural line with the Greenbelt, unfortunately the lawn service cut behind the wood pile. I have already instructed them not to do so. I assure you that having a beautiful manicured lawn behind our wood pile is not our intention.

Also, the area in the back was cut beyond the perimeter by are lawn service, again I have instructed them not to do so. I have also marked this off with rope so the area is defined.”

This is in violation of our Common Area’s Management Policy http://dunhamlake.org/RulesProceedures/commonareamgmntpolicy.htm

If you do not have internet access we can mail a copy of it to you. You should also find it in the pack of papers your real estate agent or previous owner’s of your property gave to you.

The Encroachment Abatement Procedure requires that we write this letter, and that you respond to it in writing. Mail your reply to the above address. You can find a copy of the EAP at http://dunhamlake.org/RulesProceedures/commonareamgmntpolicy.htm

We also must direct you to immediately stop all encroachments. Please mark off the boundary with rope again, in the back and side yards, so your lawn service avoids mowing greenbelt property.

An encroachment report will be published in Dunham Laker, and submitted to the Board. The complete report, including images, will be published on the web site Dunhamlake.org. All replies will also be noted in the Board Minutes and on the web site.

Sincerely,
