Subject: 15928 Union Data Corrections:
I would like this document and attachments be introduced as a desk item for the 6/9/2010 agenda item
fior the sole purpose correcting numbers that are in error:
In your staff report of 6/9/2010 and the applicants' letters 3/2/2010 and 5/20/2010 incorrect numbers
are used for comparison or justification purposes. It is stated that data is taken from the county
database. I would like to enter the following on the record for the data in error is being used as part of
the foundation for application approval.
I used three data sources: the town files on the individual projects, Google Earth and the attached
assessors' map, and they all confirm that corrects were needed for the following 5 addresses. I used
the assessors' map to generate the correct lot sizes. I recalculated the lot sizes for 112 Panorama Way,
and 101, 103, 105, and 107 Leewood Court only.

Re: Appeal of Planning Commission's second denial on June 9, 2010 of
the 15928 Union Avenue Subdivision and Architectural and Site Application
on the Town Council August 16, 2010 agenda
I am writing this on behalf of Karen and Orville Buesing, Los Gatos
residents and property owners at 15892 Union Avenue for the past thirty-
seven years. Our property is the second lot north of the proposed
development.
I ask that you deny this second appeal because it does not meet the
Town's General Plan as outlined in Section 3, Land Use Elements, Section
4 Community Design, and the development intensity guidelines in addition
to Scenic Resources. The application also does not meet the requirements
as described in sections B, C, and D of the California Subdivision Map Act.
The Council's motion on February 1, 2010 to remand the first appeal back
to the Planning Commission included direction to the Commission that "the
neighborhood compatibility issue should focus primarily on Panorama Way
and Union Avenue as the neighborhood for the benefit of the applicant who
specifically requested information on perspective of density and site
suitability. "
It is our opinion that the property should be divided into two lots with two
single story homes.
ATTACffi~fENT 14
The applicant submitted plans that have a negative impact to the
surrounding properties in the neighborhood in several ways.
1. The applicant has requested a three lot subdivision but has only
developed plans for the two proposed homes on Panorama Way.
We in the neighborhood feel that any proposal should display
architectural designs for lot one on Union Avenue to show a
complete subdivision package.
2. The applicant proposes two story houses that definitely reduce,
and for some neighbors, eliminate hillside views. The positioning
of houses on the proposed lots 2 and 3 impact view sheds for the
neighborhood. All existing houses on Panorama Way and houses
facing Union Avenue consist of single story residences with lot
sizes ranging from 8,000 to 20,000 square feet.
Our residence is the second lot north of the proposed subdivision,
our view of the hills from our back porch and from the back yard is
virtually eliminated with a two story house design. A single story
design and two lot subdivision will lessen impact on surrounding
residences.
Respectfully Submitted,
Karen Buesing and Orville Buesing
