Kaloustian Attorney At Law Andover, Ma 01810 Dear Linda, Thank you for attempting to resolve this very unusual dispute between long time neighbors. If you don't know, we have lived in North Andover at our current address since May of 1989 and have sought to be good neighbors to all our abutters. We have always tried help any neighbor in need and have offered to assist and have assisted neighbors on all sides of our property. We have assisted neighbors in many ways and have also taken great pride in the beautiful location we live in. On more than one occasion we have been complimented by utter strangers, about the beauty and neatness of our North Andover home, people have actually driven up our driveway to tell us this. This is why we have had such a difficult time understanding this unusual situation and the deep resentment Dr. and Mrs. Loepez have towards us. Before we go into any of details about the issues at hand, you should be aware of just a few pertinent facts that might resolve this situation without your clients incurring further legal expenses. Last summer our younger son Josh, then eleven and some of his friends while playing in our back yard did in fact crack horizontally one of the Lopez's east facing windows, to the left of their chimney. The Lopez's younger son, who I believe is also a lawyer did in fact read the boys the riot act in no uncertain terms. Both the boys and myself have offered to reimburse the Lopez's for the damaged window, see the copy of the boy's letter you enclosed with your letter. The window was repaired on or before 8/27/97, also see the invoice you included with you letter. We don't know why the Lopez's took the eight or nine months, April or May, I can't remember the exact day, to hand us the contractors invoice. On two occasions Dr. Lopez requested reimbursement, unfortunately the copy of the invoice was temporality misplaced. Within a week of the second heated request for reimbursement, my wife Joyce and I went to the Lopez's door, checkbook in hand to make amends and to pay for (the) broken window. After more lengthily discussion about other I unrelated issues by both parties, Joyce was told to wait a little while until things simmered down. Joyce was not allowed to pay for the window at this time. This was obviously, to wait until your letter(s) were planned to arrive. You probably have noticed that I have used the term window, not window(s). After a thorough grilling, the boys admitted to only breaking the one window, easterly facing. Joyce questioned Mrs. Lopez about this and received the following answer. Mrs. Lopez said that Spiro Topolitous, a boy about Josh's age probably broke the second window and since Josh was friends with Spiro, he probably was involved in the damage, by the way Spiro moved back to Greece about three years ago. The word probably, is not a legal term and I doubt could be used effectively in our court system, we will gladly pay for the one window which has been confirmed, ($265.90/2)=$132.95. If this is amenable, please let us know in writing and we will send you a check within twenty four hours, that is if there are no further conditions. I would now like to tell you about the good neighbors we have been over the last nine years. There has been at least three maybe four occasions where I have helped the Lopez's sons dispense of large dead birch trees, some voluntarily, some upon request. Two winters ago a dead eight inch birch tree fell into our yard from the Lopez's property, I waited a month, then finally cut it up and remove the heavy wood, stacking the large amount of branches just over their property line. In May the same boys that broke the window helped me remove the pile, it was a significant front yard eye sore and many months had passed without clean up. I have improved a large unsightly low area between both properties, with permission of the Lopez's and at significant expense to myself. We have ignored the fact that the Lopez's have in fact purposely directed their pool backwash onto our property, killing one of my aborvitie hedge trees and stunting others. I have since replaced these trees and dug a trench to redirect the heavily chlorinated water. I did complain to the Lopez's landscape service when after a repeated number of times they partially girdled many of my border aborvitie trees with their string trimmers. Of late, the Lopez's landscape service while attempting to remove more dead trees severely damaged a very rare Tulip tree, it will probably survive, though a year or two of growth has been lost. These careless landscapers even drove over our lawn, three feet from our garage so as to more easily pick up the remains of the dead tree, which crashed into our yard and Tulip tree when they cut it down. To make matters worse they left a three and one half T foot twin stump behind, which is most objectionable, as it also sits in the front yard. I will gladly clean cut the stump if they would like, as a good neighbor and with an eye to our mutual property values. There was also the case of the large standing puddle of water that filled a good portion of their driveway every rain storm. It was my determination and a friendship with a local selectmen, who finally got a catch basin installed, this benefited the Lopez's greatly, what a good neighbor. Now comes the question of the stone wall. Five years ago we connected to town sewerage and re - landscaped our front yard. A farmers stone wall runs practically the entire length of Great Pond and Marble Ridge road, it is rustic, loosely constructed and in front of our houses was not particularly attractive. In completing our landscape project we rebuilt the wall at a hefty expense. To balance the wall on both sides of our driveway we wrapped the walls at right angles to the road and parallel to our driveway for five or six feet. When we purchased our house we had the land surveyed, the survey showed that at the end of our driveway we owned a wedge that was about a foot wide and increased as our house was approached. The perpendicular to the road portion of the wall in question is partially on the Lopez's property, most would say that this is quite a little boon, since completes both our landscapes and gives a since of closure to both properties. We did not ask permission to build this rather minor extension, we wer wrong and do apologize for this error in judgement. The town of North Andover would argue the wall parallel to Great Pond/Marbile Ridge for most part, particularly this portion, is probably on town property. If you are not aware the town owns from the center of the road to beyond its outer limit by so many feet. This portion of the wall is very close to the road. I would hate to have to move this wall, as such I would only move the portion of the wall that parallels our driveway and not the portion that parallels Great Pond Road. As I stated before this portion of the wall was already there for at least one hundred years in some fashion and is most likely on town property. Now comes our most un -neighborly problem, which up until this time we have chosen to ignore, but has now become most objectionable and is preventing us from the free enjoyment and use of our property. The Lopez's pool pump house/tool shed and heat exchanger are just about on or close to our property line. The town of North Andover requires a thirty foot side and rear lot set back, see the attached official town S M, zoning bylaw which was reprinted in 1997. When and if I have my property re -surveyed, it will clearly show that the pool house and heat exchanger are in clear violation of the zoning ordinance. The survey may also show that the actual pool is too close to the side lot line and may have to be moved or filled in. I won't mention the fact that when we purchased our house in 1989 and when the Lopez's pool was being installed, the contractors back -hoe was in our backyard and the soils and lawn were disturbed, some of the disturbance is still visible today, what good neighbors, we didn't complain. It is unclear weather the pool house and pool can be located anywhere in the Lopez's backyard since they may not fit any of the setback requirements any where in this general location. I am enclosing a copy of the letter to the town building inspector, once this letter is sent I am afraid the process will have started, the pool house etc. will have to be moved. I have already been in contact with the building inspectors department and who assures my initial set back disclosures. Substantial costs will need to be incurred by the Lopez's , their agents and/or servants to relocate the pool house and it's many enclosed and attached systems, the location of pool itself maybe in question. Please do not take this matter lightly the zoning bylaws are quite clear, there is no statute of limitations. What to do? What to do? A good neighbor would agree to pay for reasonable property damages, $132.95, we do; be grateful for all the favors and allowances that have been made and be thankful that they live next to a good neighbor. A bad neighbor would direct their lawyer to bring suite and make threatening statements, after offers were made to reconcile financial differences. A bad neighbor would send his neighbor a dollarized bill for all favors requested or volunteered during the last ten years, as well as damages done to their neighbors landscape, (Tulip tree) and request payment and legally threaten if payment wasn't promptly made. A bad neighbor would legally request through registered mail that two dozen organized stones must be moved after existing for five years one and one half feet over his neighbors property line. A really bad neighbor would report a zoning violation to the town building inspectors office, requesting that their neighbor's pool house and possibly their pool be relocated, incurring significant cost to defend against or to move within the allowance made by the towns zoning bylaws. Y a4 Please inform your clients, their agents and/or their servants, the choice is theirs, I would certainly checkout the town bylaws before I would make any recommendations.

Please do not take this matter lightly the zoning bylaws are quite clear, there is no statute of limitations. What to do? What to do? A good neighbor would agree to pay for reasonable property damages, $132.95, we do; be grateful for all the favors and allowances that have been made and be thankful that they live next to a good neighbor. A bad neighbor would direct their lawyer to bring suite and make threatening statements, after offers were made to reconcile financial differences. A bad neighbor would send his neighbor a dollarized bill for all favors requested or volunteered during the last ten years, as well as damages done to their neighbors landscape, (Tulip tree) and request payment and legally threaten if payment wasn't promptly made. A bad neighbor would legally request through registered mail that two dozen organized stones must be moved after existing for five years one and one half feet over his neighbors property line. A really bad neighbor would report a zoning violation to the town building inspectors office, requesting that their neighbor's pool house and possibly their pool be relocated, incurring significant cost to defend against or to move within the allowance made by the towns zoning bylaws. y Please inform your clients, their agents and/or their servants, the choice is theirs, I would certainly checkout the town bylaws before I would make any recommendations.
