Dear Rick:
Please find onclosed a copy of an inspection report from Linda Lewis regarding the retention pond
at Independence Commons. I have circled an issue that appears to indicate that the weeping love
grass on the slopes is not in compliance, which to our knowledge is approved by the State. We
would like Ms. Lewis to contact and arrange to meet with our representative, Jim Freeman of
Freeman Landscape, on the property so we can address all the items on the inspection. His phony
number is 910-796-1166. We appreciate your assistance and let us know if you have any
questions.
