Dear Sir or Madam:
FAX N0. :91~ 323 95~J1 rct. 2a 2Et©~ G~1:18PM F'2:3
I air the homeowner at 442:3 Ferncreek Drive, in the Buckhead subdivision in
Fayetteville, North Carolina. I have a problem with the homes next door that have
violated the wet lands ct~des and are now asking for the Hales to be changed after the fact..
~1Vhen i purchased my borne, it was my understandinb that what actually three lots Were,
had. been divided into two, and had become the sites for two homes, ours on a Int and a
half and one home to be built next door, also an a lot and a half. Knowing that we were
building up to wet lands areas, this was the only way we understood that there could be
room for a home on these lots. After purchasing my name and living there for awhile,
Titr- Jackson, of Signature Propeaties, began construction on two homes on what wa.s
intended to be one lot. 1n doing so, he put. ba.ckfill to create more space, using; areas that
were de~aignated as wet lands and were to remain untouched. This was known in advance
of the building of the homes, yet he went ahead and built without getting; the proper
permission to violate the written cndec. TheQe homes are also in violation nfthe
Buckhead subdivision regarding minimum lot width.
After living here for some time now, I understand why the rules exist. if we all dc~ not
comply, everyone is affected. My husband and I went to great Nme and. expense,
researching and building a retainer wall that would help us to tttaxianize our space,
protect our laud from erosion, and maintain the wet lands ttrca.s as the rules were writton.
We spent about $lOQ,000.00 above and beyond the coat ofour lot and home construction
to accomplish this- In spite of our efforts, our land is still littered with debris and trash,
and has water drainage issues, largely due to the improper building up and disregard f~}r
the wet [ands rules at the two homes next door to us.
The hot~nes Chat are asking to have the rules changed alter the fact, are both directly "up
Buckhead creek" from us. One is next door, and the other is next to that one. Their
improper use of land has changed the flow of the water and drainage of Buckhead Creek
and our lot (among many others) suffers the consequences. After a rain, debris, both
natural and trash, including food containers, personal disposable items, etc. gathers along
the side ofour lot. We continue to have erosion problems, and a foul odor due to the
creek's inability to flow properly. The wetland behind our property has became a swamp
with constant standing water.
I have a concern far our environmental safety. As the mother of six children, i would
like to feel my children can safely play in their awn backyard. Due to the standing watelt,
1 have concerns about mosquito breeding a.nd cnAkeg.
1 have a problem trying to understand why rules are in place , if they are not enforced. I
do not thing: it is fair that they should only apply to some people. It is upsetting t.n cee

that while we spend large amounts of time and money to follow the rules, others can get
away with whatever they wish, even if it is for their own personal, ar monetary gain- 1
feel that the builder in this case, broke the rules in order to put two homes on a lot that
only had space for one home, if the rules were applied. T can't help but believe this was
for his own monetary I;ain. T a1FO know that one of the homeowners of one ofthe homes
in eluestion, happens to be employed by that same builder.
I lived here before these lots wort built'up and changed. 1 am now stuck with
environmental issues that I was unaware of when I purchased my home. While 1 do feel
badly for the homeowners of these lots if they were unaware of` the wet lands rules, T do
nc~t feel my family has to suiY'er the conscyuences. In c-rder for Buclchead Creek. to flaw
and. drain ae~ it was intended, the wet lands need to be maintained.
Allowing them to have the rules changed after the Tact is -~at only wrong in principle, it
has harmful effects on other residents and our Earth.
Thank. You very much for your time and attention to this mlAtter_
I will be happy to provide photos, at your request.
