Gentlemen and Ladies:
I am writing to you because I am in support of the current remodel of 55 Ellenwood Ave, Los
Gatos. The following are the facts:
1. I have resided at (across the street from 55 Ellenwood) since 1979, 45 yrs.
Since that time, almost every house in our Ellenwood, West Ellenwood, Belmont, Apricot,
Alexander and Bachman Ave area has been remodeled, greatly increasing the charm and
appeal of the area.
2. 55 Ellenwood specifically has gone through 3 major changes/remodels since 1979:
1981 After we remodeled our home in 1980, the Beldens used our contractor, BenRogers
Construction to remodel 55 Ellenwood
1994 remodel by the Holms
1998 major remodel by the Holms changing the entire front of the house
3. Because of all the changes over last 45 years, 55 Ellenwood has not retained anything
that one could call “historical” . However, what it has retained is a home façade which is
ugly with no charm/ambiance.
4. For sure, I am not in support of all remodeling. There have been remodels approved in
the neighborhood that are way too big given their lot sizes. These are the remodels which
are totally inappropriate for our charming area. I support only the ones which are
appropriate.
5. I am so very pleased that Pooja and Vishal are now remodeling their property to better fit
the upscale charm and ambiance of the neighborhood. Again, the area has changed
drastically over my 45 years here, definitely for the better. And I look forward to finally
seeing a beautiful home at 55 Ellenwood with a softer, more pleasant look than it’s current
“non-historic” ugly look.
6. I therefore ask you to allow Pooja/Vishal to proceed with the beautification of their
currently rundown, ugly, non-historic property.
