Future Plans For The Lot Behind Jan's House, Owned By Bruce And May -- August 20, 2021

1. I have no plans to ever build on my lot, 183 Sunset Ridge.

2. I am 70 years old, and plan to own the property for another twenty years.

3. The lot will pass to my heirs, our two daughters. Both daughters are about forty years old, neither of which have any desire to build on the lot, either. I will ensure that there are funds available after I leave the lot to my daughters to continue paying property taxes and HOA fees to keep the lot in our family's name, as an open space.

4. The lot will be watched over by my sister who owns a home on the lake, and whose home/lot adjoins my lot. She appreciates the lot being kept in the family but not building on it. It's possible she may plant a small garden on the corner of her lot which could bleed over onto my lot if the HOA approves but that's pretty limited in the big scheme of things.

5. Prior to recent city/county utility infrastructure work being done on the lot last summer (?), the lot looked pretty good but since that earth was replaced, it's become a bit weedy. I want the lot to look as good as possible. The lot is regularly mowed, as required by the HOA, and I plan to have the lot sprayed for weeds on a regular basis. I can't promise anything but hopefully it will look better by this time next year.

6. Things change. I can't promise anything. But I have no plans to change anything; no plans to build on the lot; and neither of our two daughters want to build on the lot.

7. You have no idea how much I appreciate "open space" in and around Mission View. I think this area contributes to the overall open space.

8. My wife, May, concurs with all of this. She has no plans to build on the lot and will not need to sell the lot for any reason as things stand now. I don't think that will ever change.

9. If anything changes along this line, I will immediately let you know.

10. There may be typographical/grammatical errors in the above, but I believe the sentiment is clear.
