Our interest in this project arises from the fact that we are the owners of the Big Cypress Golf Course which is imme- diately adjacent to the proposed project. As I understand from my conversation with you, the City of Winter Springs has given preliminary site plan approval to the Highlands Glens project. Prior to the City of Winter Springs giving final approval, we respectfully request that you give consideration to the following information: Our primary concern is over the preservation of all of the trees and shrubbery on our property. We feel that these trees and shrubbery are threatened if buildings are to be constructed within 10 feet of the property line as the current plat plan indicates. This threat manifests itself in two ways. First, prior to construction, considerable muck will have to be removed beneath the building pads during which time the water table will be lowered due to water being pumped out as part of the muck removal operation. The lowering of the water table in the area will therefore put our trees in jeopardy because, without water, the muck tends to dry out and oxidize and no longer supplies the necessary support for our trees. Secondly, it is not only difficult, but almost impossible, not to damage the root structure of our major trees such as maples and oaks which e 777 STATE ROAD 434 e WINTER SPRINGS.

If the buildings and related construction activities were allowed no closer than 25 feet of our property line, I believe our trees and shrubbery would be spared. At the time this property was sold to Rollingwood by Florida Land Company, the sales contract, in contemplation of this problem and the need to preserve natural green areas on the golf course, included a restrictive covenant which prohibited the construction of any buildings closer than 25 feet to the property line of the golf course. We have met ,.,ith Mr. Ken Levitt of Rollingwood Homes and have made our concerns known to him, and have requested that he honor the 25-foot setback. As of this time, we have received no affirmative response from him. Please notify us in advance of any further public meetings between the City of Winter Springs and Rollingwood Homes regarding site plan approval of this project, especially any meeting which can result in final site plan approval. e If there is any additional information we can supply you, we will be happy to do so. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. LCG/res cc: Mr. John Torcaso e . - . EDMUND T. BAXA.JR. PAUL H. BOWEN JEANELLE G. BRONSON PAUL F. BRYAN DWIGHT I. COOL GRACE ANNE GLAVIN EDWARD E.

SWANN PATRICK F. MARONEY City of Winter Springs 400 North Edgemon Avenue Winter Springs, Florida 32708 Attn: Walter Elwell, City Planner RE: Highlands Glen Gentlemen: We have reviewed the proposed homeowners association documents for Highlands Glen (your copy of the Declaration is enclosed), and based upon our review it is our opinion that: 1. Assuming the proposed Declaration of Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions is properly executed and recorded in the Public Records, its provisions will bind all future property owners within the subdivision. The proposed Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions includes provisions which contain adequate assurance that the Association will maintain the common areas within the subdivision at the expense of the Association, except that the enclosed provision entitled "Continual Maintenance" should be added. 2. We were not provided with a copy of the proposed Articles of Incorporation of the homeowners association. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this matter.

This has not been done and the title insurance policy will not suffice for this requirement. 4. We do not understand what you are referring to with regard to the Big Cypress Golf Club.
