Good Afternoon,
Please see the email below from the President of the Winsper Community in Renton.
Although the Winsper HOA has received two recent communications from Mr. Dees, neither of
these is a response to the proposal sent to Mr. Dees on our behalf by our legal representative
Mr. Greenfield of Davis, Wright and Tremaine (DWT). Although DWT sent the proposal to
Mr. Dees dated March 14, 2017, he has never responded or even acknowledge to us or our legal
representative that he received it, yet he has now referred to it twice in communications to the
city. That document offered the negotiation of a compromise proposal of granting easement
rights across Tract H for the purpose of the city required emergency access for the proposed Lot
28 development. This would satisfy the city's emergency access requirement without the need to
transfer the deed to Tracts H and G to Mr. Dees.
We do not believe that transfer of the Tracts to Mr. Dees is necessary or in our best interests,
since to our knowledge, he does not have any plans for addressing ongoing maintenance, an
HOA that would be responsible for that maintenance, or any other forum for us to address
neighborhood concerns regarding this Tract, which is after all, actually located in our
community, once construction is finished and these planned two homes are sold. In fact, his
plan seems to show that he intends to use the Winsper neighborhood and access tracts as the
primary development access portal, which is outside the scope of approved use for this tract as
designated by the hearing examiner, since this does not constitute "emergency access". The
only reason that we can discern for Mr. Dees' continued insistence on the transfer of the deed,
despite the proposal of a viable alternative that should satisfy the needs of all parties, is that Mr.
Dees still harbors some notion of enlarging the scope of the development of Lot 28.
