Dear Ms. Puga:

JOSEPH D. DERMER
MAGDALENA A. LABRANCH
My family developed the office building at 15720 Winchester Boulevard at Dave's Avenue in
2012, which Is where I currently have my office, along with Fidelity Title Company and Palo Alto
Medical Foundation.
! am writing to urge the planning commission to approve the development of the Valley Oak
Partners project, a professional office building of approximately 30,000 square feet located just
south of our building on the same side of the street.
The east side of Winchester between West Farley and Blossom Hill Road consists of many
dilapidated homes and properties of no significant architectural or historical value. Winchester
is one of the gateways to the downtown area, and we look forward to the development of
other projects, like the one proposed by Valley Oak Partners, which If approved, like our
development, will result In beautiful new buildings to the Winchester corridor and attract great
tenants offering an array of needed services to the town's residents and business people.
