Mr. Mendelbaum requested and in order not to lake aware Mr. Mendelbaum's oroperty, ne had the arborvitae line put on Mr. Laoudis property to block any kind of disturbance to them. He also offered to put some shrubbery at the gate so as To no~ intrude on his privacy. I'll check on the lighting and maybe indirect lighting or whatever soft lighting that they may have, accent lighting. My guess is. if you have heads like this you might put accent lighting on it.
