Dear Lansdowne Residents,

My name is Mark A. Pickard and I am one of three homeowners, on Mill Dam Place (backing to Riverside Parkway) with a home for sale. My house number is 19492, my neighbors who also have properties listed are 19500, and 19484. The three of us have heard the same objection when trying to sell our homes, which is that our homes back to a busy street with no privacy. Additionally, five other properties on Mill Dam Place have the same problem.

If this problem is not rectified, we will be forced to drop the price of our listings, affecting every homeowner in Lansdowne. As such, by signing this petition, we are requesting that the Lansdowne Home Owners’ Association (HOA) convene an out of cycle meeting to address this issue. We hereby request that additional privacy trees be added in the common area behind the properties backing to Riverside Parkway (19484, 19488, 19492, 19500, 19504, 19508, 19512, and 19516) similar to the rest of the properties backing to Riverside Parkway and even the townhomes across the street. This improvement will benefit the community as a whole by preserving home values.

Thank you for your consideration in resolving this matter.

-Mark A. Pickard
