Hi Mark and Brigitte,
As you noticed that we now have several cars in the driveway since Martin is driving and Nadine is
already asking for a car! We are planning to build a detached garage opposite from the existing garage
(by the gate) and tied into the retaining wall. In addition a small cottage/pool house by the Ja cuzzi e nd
build into the hill where the grow house is locate d . I would be happy to show you the current
architectural plans and answer any of your concerns -let me know if you are available th is weekend . I
would also ask if you could provide me with a letter of support stating who you are (neighbor on ... side ),

that we showed you the latest plans and discussed this, how it will impact you, and that hopefully can
support this project (e.g. I rather see his clutter in a garage than parked outside).
Thanks
