RE: Riverbend Stables
Dear Mr. Shepard:
Since holiday plans will prevent
Neighborhood meeting on the above
to voice my opinion once again.
DEC 2 61989
my attendance of the January 3rd
subject, I am sending this letter
As I told you in my letter of December 12th, I made the statement
to friends, "I wonder what could happen to lower my property value
more than it's already been lowered." I got the answer sooner than
I thought in the form of the Riverbend Stables proposal, and I
remain steadfast in my appeal that this project be stopped before
it begins.
Property values in Countryside Park have plummeted since I
purchased my home over five years ago. Though I've tried several
times to sell it, I can't even GIVE the place away. No one wants
to live here. Now someone wants to build horse stables within 500
feet of my home. Yet another mark against our subdivision.
Great. Stinky, smelly horse stables. NO THANKS! If the people
who are proposing this project would like to buy my home from me
for the loan balance, fine. Otherwise I will object STRONGLY to
this proposal. There is no need to put horse stables within 500
feet of a community which is already suffering from low property
values. I see no redeeming quality in having horse stables located
so near my property. The odor alone would be unbearable, plus my
property value is plummet even further. Thot:gh it's true some
Countryside Park homeowners just "don't care", as evidenced by junk
cars, etc. in vacant lots, some of us have a reason to want to keep
the area decent ..... we HAVE to live there.
I sympathize with the property owners, who are eagerly awaiting the
completion/start of the Timberline Road extension, but what they
want to do to our subdivision is uncalled for.

PLEASE ACCEPT THIS LETTER AS MY OFFICIAL "NO" VOTE TO THIS
RIDICULOUS PROPOSAL. As a property owner in Countryside Park, I
can say we're in enough trouble already.
Sincerely,
Vicki Clark
