I have been reasonable and willing to make this a win win situation for all, however this situation is now approaching a one year anniversary, and I think you would agree that this is an unreasonable amount of time, energy and effort expended on everyone's part... In regards to the mediation with the Besso's, I have always stated that I would mediate in good faith and another offer to mediate was extended by Russ and Kryssa at the beginning of the year, I again reiterated my willingness to do so, as I did with you last spring... Terry has subsequently refused... The Besso's delaying tactics are a distraction and a disruption to the neighborhood and the ill will that has been generated needs to be ended as quickly as possible for the good of all... I think it is time to present the 'set backs' to the neighborhood in general and the Besso's can choose to openly object to the global neighborhood setbacks initiatives or not... at the last HOA meeting, it was 11 households for and one abstained. Just for the record this is not just about me, we have a new family that has recently moved into the neighborhood and their rear yard was never improved by the original owner. I'm sure they would like to make some improvements this spring as I would, it is time take steps and actions towards this end not further delays. My assessment of the Besso's action and comments are that they are maneuvering to exclude my home from the global neighborhood setbacks modifications... and that the restrictions in place by the current PUD remain in effect for my home only... both of which I deem unreasonable. This past year the Besso's and others have been afforded the quiet enjoyment of their home and the improvements which they have made to their property as granted by the City of which many are not compliant with the current PUD restrictions... I think you would agree I have not been granted equal treatment by the City to date... In summary, if the worst case scenario is that we go before the Planning Commission and City Council and plead our case, I think we would be granted our request considering the current precedents and the backing of all my other neighbors... Please reply as soon as possible or call me to discuss the issue further, thanks. Regards, Steven J.
