Dear Sir
I am writing to you to request that the seven and one half foot easement in the rear of my
property at 250 Winding Hollow Lane be officially abandoned.
The reason I say officially abandoned is because when I applied for permits to build my
swimming pool in June of 1989 1 was told that the easement had been abandoned and was issued
the required permits. I now find out from my neighbors, who have both applied for an
abandonment that the easement is still on the books.
Please contact me at the above address if you have questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
KENNETH E. LONG
