The Appellant has made absurd demands in his appeal, and is holding my property hostage. I would like to kindly remind him that 7 foot of my family's property is being used for his private roadway, which will benefit everyone who lives off of Noble Oaks Lane, but will not provide my family with any benefit of living in front of the road, since my cars and my driveway will not ever touch that road, as he has demanded. I would also like to kindly remind the Appellant that our property is taking the brunt of the draining from the roadway, into my bio retention area for the benefit of the surrounding property owners, including the Appellant. We have ceded to his demand of moving our driveway off of Noble Oaks Lane, and sought permission to move our driveway off of Lawrence Road, which was approved by the Town. I am ***CAUTION*** THIS EMAIL WAS NOT SENT FROM DANVILLE STAFF This email originated from outside of the Town of Danville and was not sent from a Town Staff member!

The Appellant now has an issue with the walkway to my front door, wants me to keep up an unsightly no climb fence, since that will cause supposed guests to park on his road if it is removed, which is not true. Who is he to say how I should landscape my property? My property has enough garages and a large driveway and parking area to accommodate any guests if necessary, and since the Appellant’s property is not his primary residence I do not see how that would be a direct nuisance to him? I have gone through the proper approval channels. My developer, my future neighbors, and family are taking the cost on paving his road, as I would like to kindly remind the Appellant, the very same road my family will never use, per his demands. I will not change the direction of my home as he is now demanding, it is not incongruous to the surrounding property, instead it would add value, it’s no secret that the Appellant is looking to prep and prime his property to sell to a developer, but how absurd would it look to have a view of my backyard entering a neighborhood full of Mediterranean‐esque homes, which is in harmony with the street behind us. What is incongruous is his unmaintained fire hazard property. My home’s direction is for religious and safety reasons. Please take a look at my children, my in laws, my nieces and nephew who will be at the meeting. I do not want them to walk onto Lawrence to get to their cousins home, a street with no sidewalk, and no lighting. I do not want to change my address, I do not want emergency services to have issues finding my home, should something happen. If we have a Lawrence Road address like the Appellant is currently demanding, it can take a while for emergency responders to find my home. I would think that someone in the medical field, like the Appellant, would be understanding of how seconds matter in an emergency situation, but it looks like he could care less when it comes to loss of life, by the tone of his appeal letter submitted, which I find quite repulsive and disgusting. Every day, my in laws worry, my mother in law cries, that they will not live long enough to move into our home, because of the Appellant’s drama that he has created. My family has waited long enough, I want my kids to attend the great schools in Danville, I want to be a part of this 3 community, I want my nieces and nephew to move into their home three houses down, so that our families grow up together. I am pleading with you Planning Commissioners, deny this petty man’s appeal, please see through his demands, it is no secret that he is trying to sell his property off to a developer and is creating all these non‐issues for monetary gain. The bottom line is: I will NOT be driving on Noble Oaks Lane, my guests will NOT park there, and will NOT drive on the roadway, but I am paying into his roadway for his benefit and future profit. His property off Lawrence Road is not his primary residence, and he is not a part of the fabric of this community. He doesn’t have the emotions and connections to the beauty of this Town, doesn’t have children attending school here, doesn’t shop here, doesn’t pay sales taxes here, doesn’t contribute to this Town in any way shape or form. So why does he get to have so much power over how my family starts their lives in this Town? I am hoping to be a part of this community for the rest of my life, and he is just hoping for a massive payout on his land when he eventually sells it to a developer. All his demands are absurd, please see that. Respectfully, Mrs. Sekhon
