Dr. Mr. Johnson,
I'm writing you regarding 150 Travis Pointe Dr. (Copy of the notice included as an attachment to this email)
Thank you for speaking with me Monday morning, I'm including photos as promised during our conversation.
We believed that the paver pathways we had incorporated to traverse the yard were quite permeable --- They
allow for normal absorption and runoff in the lakeside area. Heck we were adamant that ALL the paths on the
property were permeable, regardless of whether they were in the buffer zone or not. NO CONCRETE was used
in the installation of the cobblestone-like paths, they are sand-set with a bed of fine gravel to ensure a porous
material from ALL directions.
I have also attached photos of the structures noted in the aerial photos. The "lounge" (structure 1)was in
existence when we purchased the property, although it was thoroughly renovated. The "Kayak Rack"
(structure/roof 2) was intended to provide both convenience & aesthetically-pleasing appearance rather than the
chaos of all those vessels strewn around the water's edge.
What looks like a "natural area" (your words) on your aerial/Google Earth photos is the canopy of a stand of
ancient poplar trees that died of natural causes. (much to our disappointment -- we remain heartbroken) Their
absence is by neither desire or design, My wife's uncle planted them 50+ years ago and we still mourn their
passing! This property was originally built on by my wife's uncle's family, it was sold to a third party in the
1980's, and was brought back INTO the family in 2016.
Per your suggestion, we will take measures to add more natural landscaping, we're working on a design to
enhance the appearance of our property. As promised, I am TRYING to attach photos &video to assist you
with your assessment.
THANKS in advance for your consideration!
Brian Bridgford for/with Sarah Gambrell
