PHOENIX (AZFamily) — You can see it from the street and down the block, but the best view of the large building is from Stephanie Jacques’ backyard.
“My first reaction was despair,” Jacques said. “It was heartbreaking that this was going to be the new view of my backyard.”
“For the past six weeks, the Phoenix mom and her kids have been hanging out in their pool with a giant structure hovering over them.
Jacques’ neighbor is building a two-story pool house and garage near 54th Street and Cactus Road in north Phoenix, which has upset several surrounding homeowners.
The structure is taller than any home on the block.
“I understand adding value to your property, but not at the expense of diminishing the value of the property of your neighbor,” said Jacques. “It completely encompasses our backyard and changes the whole overall environment. We don’t have privacy anymore.”
