Dear Friends:
As background I have been a resident at 106 Sheldon Road since June of
1978 and a neighbor of the Tavelli's since they moved here in the early 80s..
My home is next to theirs on the uphill side on Sheldon Road. Since they
moved in they have been continuously improving their yard, which is quite a
showplace and a joy to the neighborhood.
The fence they chose to erect on the Sheldon Road side of their yard is very
attractive and appropriate. It fits well with their house and plantings.
I am writing because I will be out of town on July 5.which I believe is the
date of the hearing on Mrs. Tavelli's request for a variance to install a gate
in this fence so service vehicles will have access to the yard.
I support granting Mrs. Tavelli this variance so she can complete the fence
with a gate which will allow access for service vehicles.
I hope you will grant her request.
Sincerel ,

Dear Brent Cross,
We are writing in support of Holly Tavelli's recent gate proposal. Her plan is reasonable. The
zoning board should grant this variance.

Subject: Holly Tavelli's Gate Application--Letter of Support
Dear Brent:
Please consider this a letter of support for Holly Tavelli's application for a variance to install a gate as
part of the approved fence project she completed last summer. As you know I am Holly's most
immediate neighbor on the other side of Sheldon Road. I have watched Holly and her late husband Phil
develop a marvelous garden over many years. Holly has continued the good work on the garden and it
is a joy to see bloom, develop, and grow each year. As anyone who takes gardening seriously knows, it
is an evolving effort. The Tavelli Garden has been just that and the addition of the fence last year
evidenced a sophistication in design that I have seen in gardens I have visited both in the US and
abroad. The gate will conclude that phase of Holly's garden design adding a substantial dimension to
the project.
Please share this letter with the members of the zoning review board.
Yours truly,
Garry Brodhead
