384 than you required T agree that the ^ttitudo and the har•rass- meet with the Hopkins family is a hard thine tove li with but 1 do not seg how the rine' situated where T want it will limit the use of the Hopkins property. Mr. Huestis: I feel there are many things attributing to the issues in this neighborhood and unless you people over there can come to some compromise you will continue to have problems. land Mrs. Parsons: You people are depriving us the use of our and harnessing us. Dr. Cosgrove: You say we are depriving you the use of your land, you both very well know that after the initial hear- ing we had on this permit Mr. Lambie and I were not in favor of granting you a permit to keep a horse. We did not have just the Hopkins family complaining but we had several other neighbors who objected because of the excess flies and odor. Dr. Colburn,. then a member of this Board, said you had the required amount of land therefore he felt we should grant a permit but in view of the objections by the neighbors he felt if we made the location of the fence a condition to the per- mit we would be protecting your neighbors from any health nuisance and still let your daughter enjoy her horse. I say you people have not cooperated with this Board since this permit was granted., We gave you the permit in December 1969 and it wasn't until September or October that you put up any fence for this horse. That would indicate that this horse has been on your property close to a. year and the conditions of the permit have not been adhered to. Mr. Parsons: We got our permit in December 1969, I then had to build a barn so we left the horse where she was stabled until June when the people moved away. I started building the barn and then we went on vacation to Maine for 3 weeks, so the harse was in the yard, I would say, about 1 week in June and then some of the time in August while I was working on the barn. I spoke to Mr. Heustis about putting the fence line along the lot line and I also spoke to you, Dr. Cosgrove. After our meeting with you in December or January we got a letter stating we had to go back to the original condition of the permit before renewal of our permit in April. Dr. Cosgrove: You admit then that the horse was on your property in violation of your permit. Mr. Parsons: The horse was not fenced for a period of 2 months all told. Dr. Cosgrove: Where does the harrassment come in from this Board. Mrs. Parsons: Your restrictions, disposing of the manure and fencing. Every time we move Hopkins calls Yr. Houstis and complains and then he is right ov.-r there ch-ckirg up on us. Dr. Cosgrove: That is not harrassment, that is his job. He must investigate every complaint that comes into this office. 1 1 1
