Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971-0959 Re: Thomas W. Russell Trust, Beach Avenue, Fishers Island SCTM # 1000-9-11-9.1 Dear Chairman King: Enclosed is a copy of photographs of the subject property and a topographic survey map which depicts a proposed driveway. One photograph depicts the Pond and shows the topography. The other provides a rough sketch of the driveway location. According to the measurements prepared by CME Associates Engineering, Land Surveying & Architecture, PLLC, the driveway appears to be outside of the Trustees' jurisdiction. Due to the topography of the property the engineers have designed the driveway with drywells. Please confirm that the proposed driveway is outside of the Trustees' jurisdiction and issue a letter of non-jurisdiction to that effect. Should you need any additional information, please let me know at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your kind attention. KAH:db Encs.
