PLANN1NG COMMISSION IN OPPOSITION
TO PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF
APPLICATION PD-07-145 OR
SWANSON FORD PROPERTY
The following persons hereby object to the proposed height and
set back requirements for the proposed building on the "Swanson"
Property. The proposed buildings block the view of the hills for residents
Of Placer Oaks HOA , (Chap. 29, LG Code), provides no real "buffer" zone
for the two adjacent high density projects (at one point 11 feet from -back -of
building to property line), increases noise pollution (Chap. 16, LG Code)
and will allow occupants of the new homes to peer down into the backyards
of Placer Oaks HOA residents.
This neighborhood is already one of the most highly dense areas in
Los Gatos, with a Day Care Center approximately 100 yards from the site,
and an estimated 200+high densityunits within 200 yards. The proposed
buildings should be no higher than those of Placer Oaks HOA, which allows
uniformity in building height, protects privacy rights, and decreases excess
density.
We object to the HUGE projected increased traffic flow. Traffic will
flow out from the residential units via a left turn onto Placer Oaks Rd. The
additional 10,000 sq. feet of retail added to this proposal will cause a
constant flow of cars through an already congested area. Santana Row has
adjacent single-family homes. This project has extensive •high -density
housing. Santana Row has a huge parking structure, and multiple inlets and
outlets. This proposed project lacks the easy ingress and egress.
From Los Gatos Code:

district in the Town and is designed to allow various density ranges with
actual specific density to be determined by the deciding body, depending on
the particular characteristics of specific parcels, the uses surrounding them
