1.11 January 25, 1988 To whom it may concern, We are requesting that approval be granted for the future use of the existing driveway leading to the property of Dr . William and Mary Lynn. We wish to purchase a house and a piece of the Lynn ' s prcoperty and have already obtained an easement and road maintenance agreement from the Lynns pertaining to the driveway. The driveway currently has a 45 foot easement and to obtain a larger easement would apparently be quite a difficult process. As noted by the Lynn ' s attorney, Dalton Loftin„ the process would be costly and time consuming and still may not result in the granting of additional footage to the easement . The current driveway leads to three homes located on the Lynn ' s property. The portion of the driveway extending from New Sharon Church Road to the Lynn s residence has a 45 foot easement as recorded March 18, 1971 in the deed of easement in Orange County Book 672 page 272. The remainder of the driveway, leading to the house we wish to purchase, has a 50 foot easement according to Flat of Survey of E. B. Wood, Jr . dated October , 1987. Therefore we seek approval only for the 45 foot easement section as recorded . The entire driveway is densely wooded except for small clearings around the three houses. The driveway is dirt covered by gravel and is wide enough for two vehicles to pass one another . The driveway has accomodated the largest size moving van and would be able to emergency vehicles, if necessary. There is more than the 14 footle required power line and tree limb clearance. The driveway ends in a cul de sac immediately behind the house we wish to purchase. The cul de sac meets the minimum 70 foot diameter as required. The driveway is used by no other traffic than the residents of the three homes and is the only access to these residences. There are no current plans to expand the use of this road to other properties or homes. In summary, we wish to purchase a lot and accompanying home owned by Dr. William and Mary Lynn. We have already received an easement and road maintenance agreement for the entire driveway from the Lynns. We are requesting permission to use the existing driveway as it is with its 45 foot easement for the portion of the driveway from New Sharon Church Road to the Lynn ' s residence. Our only interest is to allow us to purchase the desired house and property. Elit eth R - R. Cr ais Michael H. Wagn r�- Date Date OMMEMMIlmommr
