From: MARILYN RANELLE Sent: Monday, December 5, 2016 8:00 PM To:Tim Gladhill Subject: Re: Pot Belly Pig Request Ti m, My fear is that allowing an exception for this pig on less than 3 acres will set a precedent in Northfork for future homeowners who buy in this development. She states that no neighbors have complained and that may have been true because this summer their property was VERY wooded so neighbors may not have noticed the pig but now that the leaves are gone their entire property, side and back yard are very visible and very unkempt looking especially from the inside of the cul-de-sac. They state that as long as the pigs waste is cleaned up consistently there is no odor but based on the current condition of their property I am concerned that the pig waste may not be disposed of properly on their two acre lot. Currently there are 6 properties in Northfork for sale priced between $520,000 and $700,000. One of those properties is their neighbor priced at $599,900. I am concerned having chickens and pigs on a neighbors property negatively impacts that price point besides the overall poor condition of their property. As I stated earlier, I am concerned all property values in this golf course community will be impacted eventually if this request is made an exception. Thank You for listening to my concerns.

I suspect that the existence of HOA rules alone will not be a compelling enough legal argument to deny. In order for our Council to consider this option, I feel we would need some more specific concerns. Please feel free to email us with more specifics, and we will include this with the public record. i
