' <br /> <br />1. THUMPING NOISES (rom skateboarders jumps on wood = erratic, <br />inconsistent, sporadic, unexpected, startling, disruptive, disturbing, annoying, <br />irritating, unreasonable, & unnerving <br />2. RATTLES & RACKET from skateboarders & bicyclers jumping on the metal <br />bars dividing tbe smallest ramp = erratic, inconsistent, sporadic, unexpected, <br />startling, disruptive, disturbing, annoying, irritating, unreasonable, & unnerving <br />3. PENNX'S SEVERE ALLERGIES/INFECTIONS = The stirred up dirt, dust, grass, <br />& molds in the bicycle race park will adversely affect her health. <br />4. PENNY'S CHRONIC SINUS HEADACHES = h~r inability to rest because of the <br />excessive noise <br />5. LOSS OF PRIV ACY because heights oframps & dirt mounds give view into our <br />backyards on Oaken Lane. (I have lived at 3110 Oaken Lane since January 1979 = <br />22'i'2 years in peace & solitude. This home was chosen in Section IV for its isolation <br />and exclusiveness; we did not choose to live near an amusement park.) <br />6. DE-VALUATION of PROPERTY (Lifetime home investment over $200,000 is <br />more important than children's temporary entertainment & amusement park.) <br />7. DRAINAGE, STANDING WATER, & FLOODING from bicycle race park <br />(Standing water/mosquito infestation behind our fence are already unresolved issues <br />from summer 1999 when Fairmont Park Baptist Church ignored a certified letter from <br />the Garcias and Pizzitolas.) , <br />8. LOSS OF PEACEFUL EVENINGS = UNABLE TO FUNCTION in our home, i.e. <br />read, relax, nap, concentrate, or watch TV during recreational hours <br />9. LOWERS AESTHETICS of Section IV neighborhood <br />10. HAVING TO PATROL RAMPS during unscheduled ramp hours (My having to <br />call the police to remove young boys from the ramps at odd hours) <br />11. EXPOSED RAMPS = open invitation to young people = irresistible temptation <br />12. DAMAGE TO FENCES (already occurred in 2000 to James Davis' fence) <br />13. FIRE HAZARD/SAFETY ISSUES (Fire already happened 7-5-01.) <br />14. ZONING - No homeowner is allowed to conduct such disruptive activities. <br />15. REDUCED PARKING SPACES - Ramps consume many parking spaces, and <br />Belfast and Farrington are full of cars on Sundays and Wednesdays. <br />16. TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS enforced at Sea Breeze Park to maintain <br />homeowners'. privacy (We'd like the same courtesy.) <br />17. PERSONAL STRESS caused day ot: during, night ot: and the day after the ramps <br />are used <br /> <br />Un/y <br />
