Q1. Please use this space to give more details on answers above or list other areas of concern. 1 We purchased our home in September 2012 and the tennis court was a major Jan 5,2013 2:38 PM plus for us since there is no playground or park within a one mile walk.We are an active young family and losing the tennis court is a major concern for us. We'd like to explore all other options before discussing losing the tennis courts. Also,we did not receive any notice discussing the options (referenced in your public hearing notice) I have contacted Mr.John Anderson to request a copy. 2 1 am not interested in a rain garden in my front yard as I have a sump pump Jan 4,2013 10:11 AM operating in my basement now and do not need additional seepage. I do not see any mention of work being done or the water system. Does that mean it is considered satisfactory. We have had I believe four breaks within the last few years with 3 adjoining lots which concerns me. Water collects at end of driveway. 3 We are looking forward to this street improvement project. We as an association Jan 2,2013 9:09 AM would like more information as to the care and maintenance of rain gardens. 4 The tennis court played a significant role in our decision to move here last Jan 2,2013 9:06 AM month. 5 Since the January 14th meeting will include a discussion about rain gardens any Jan 2,2013 9:05 AM information about the care and maintenance of rain gardns should be sent to us and the neighborhood before the January 14th meeting. Edgewater is either icy in the winter or has too many potholes to safely walk. 6 First of all,thank you for requesting neighborhood input in this project. My Jan 1,2013 8:13 PM property is on the corner of Ridgewood Rd and Edgewater Ave. My side yard borders Ridgewood and front yard faces Edgewater. I am directly across the street(Ridgewood)from Johanna Marsh and the tennis court. I have reviewed both street rehabilitation plans and favor the reclamation project. I have significant concerns regarding any loss of trees along any streets as well as in Johanna Marsh. The proposal recommends a filtration basin along Ridgewood Rd on my property side of the street as well as a rain garden. I have a couple questions regarding both in terms of appearance and how they may affect my access to my back yard as my only utility and lawn care equipment access is from the side street(Ridgewood)at the south end of my property. Additionally, I have an irrigation system along both Ridgewood Rd and Edgewater Ave and have questions regarding any necessary changes or relocation. If raingardens are insufficient for storm water treatment and Johanna Marsh needs to be considered, I favor the retention of the trees in Johanna Marsh first and then the tennis court. And obviously, if the tennis court needs to be removed I favor a drainage pond that is functional but environmentally and aesthetically pleasing. Thank you for hearing my concerns. 7 1 see no reason for widening the street. We all have large driveways which take Dec 27,2012 8:09 AM care of cars except for special events. 8 No problems with losing the tennis court. Dec 26,2012 9:05 AM 9 1 would be glad to have a rain garden on the Glenhill side of my corner lot. I am Dec 26,2012 9:04 AM willing to have a rain garden on the Ridgewood side BUT only north of the driveway. 3of4
