DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
TOWN OF VAII., COLORADO

RE: Construction at 4017 Lupine Drive
Contractor- Les Samelson
Gentlemen:
We live ax 3987 Lupine Drive immediately adjacent to the west side of the subject
construction.
While our relationship with the contractor of the subject construction has been
excellent we have basically two concerns that we hope will be addressed by the
Design Review Board and be made a requirement for the completed construction.
1. The subject construction is immediately adjacent to our property.
Minimum setback and height of construction causes direct and close line of
sight views between buildings including the existing windows of our house
and the new house. Bushes and small trees previously existing at 4017
Lupine that screened views with the previously existing building have been
removed as necessary to construction. However, various branches on large
existing pines were damaged or removed during construction resulting in
less screening between the buildings. We request consideration be given,
in addition to that shown on plans, to additional planting of evergreens,
preferably spruce, of a size that will provide line of site screening between
the buildings and windows of our home and the new home.
2. Water and Drainage. The minimum setback, steep slope of new fill from
the new home to property line on the west side combined with extensive
roof area of the new home on the west side combine to result in a potential
for extreme water runoff onto our property. No provision has currently
been made to control the disposition of this water. We have made a
request to the subject contractor to install adequate gutters at the roof
eaves to direct water runoff into the creek or into an area not sloping onto
our property at 3987 Lupine. We request that this be a requirement of the
construction.
We believe the requested requirements will be advantageous to both the new and
our adjacent property.
Your consideration of the above will be appreciated.

Very truly yours
