Currently proposed Development Plans , received April 29, 2016 (12 pages) The proposed application was considered by the Planning Commission on April13 , 2016 . The Commission heard from the applicant and took public testimony. The concerns raised by the Commission and neighbors included building height, building mass , and privacy for the rear neighbor. The application was continued to May 25, 2016 to facilitate the applicant lowering the building height and addressing the rear neighbor's privacy concerns . At the May 25 , 2016 Planning Commission meeting staff requested that the application be continued to June 8, 2016 in order provide more time for the applicant to work with the rear neighbor. DISCUSSION: Building H eight and Privac y Based on the comments at the April 13, 2016 meeting, the applicant has proposed, as reflected in the updated plans, (Exhibit 26) lowering the finished floor el evation of the house b y six-inches. Planning Commission Staff Report-Page 4 18151 Overlook Road/S-14-056 June 8, 2016 The proposed building height has been reduced from 28 feet, three inches to 27 feet , nine inches. In order to address privacy issues for the rear neighbor the applicant has proposed (Exhibit 20) lowering the second floor rear bedroom window by eight inches in addition to the proposed installation of obscured glass in the rear elevation bathroom window. The two proposed changes, lowering the house floor level (six inches) and lowering the top of second floor rear bedroom window height (eight inches) would result in the reduction of the window height of 14 inches as described by the applicant's architect in Exhibit 20. The applicant explored moving the location of the second floor towards the front property line; however, the applicant found that the modification would require significant redesign of the entire floor plan and would reduce the height of the window by less than six-inches. The applicant and applicant's architect have provided a letter describing the proposed modifications (Exhibit 20). Landscape Screening Based on the discussion at the Apri113, 2016 Planning Commission meeting the applicant and the rear neighbor (9 Chestnut Avenue) have been in communication and met to discuss landscape screening along the rear fence line to address privacy concerns. The applicant proposed to pay for the planting and maintenance of 15-foot screening trees to be planted along the rear neighbor's fence so that the neighbor could be in control of the privacy screening. The applicant and the rear neighbor met with both of their respective arborists and determined that the rear yard of 9 Chestnut A venue could accommodate the proposed trees (Exhibit 22). The rear neighbor has provided photos of the view of the proposed two-story residence from their backyard (Exhibit 25). The photos show the story poles illustrating the reduced building height and reduced window height. The photos also include a single pole illustrating the height of the proposed tree screening height. The rear neighbor has provided a letter describing their concerns with the proposed legal ramifications of installing the trees on their property and communication with the applicant (Exhibit 24). The rear neighbor continues to have concerns regarding the overall proposed building height, building mass, and privacy impacts to their property. The rear neighbor has invited the Planning Commissioners to visit their property to view the story poles from their rear yard (Please contact staff to coordinate). The applicant has provided a letter dated May 26, 2016 (Exhibit 20) summarizing the project and responding to the rear neighbor's May 25, 2016 email (Exhibit 24). The applicant has provided two screening options illustrating the proposed landscape screening option at 9 Chestnut A venue and the option of planting the screening trees on the subject property (Exhibit 23). Planning Commission Staff Report-Page 5 18151 Overlook Road/S-14-056 June 8, 2016 The modified development plans include planting the screening trees on the subject property (Exhibit 26) due to the current concerns expressed by the rear neighbors . RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the Architecture and Site application based on the height and mass of the re sidence in comparison to those in the immediate area. ALTERNATIVES: Alternatively, the Commission could: 1. Approve the application by taking the following actions: a . Find that the proposed project is categorically exempt, pursuant to Section 15303 of the California Envirorunental Quality Act as adopted by the Town (Exhibit 2); and b . Make the required findings as required by Section 29.10.09030(e) of the Town Code for granting approval of a demolition of a single-family residence (Exhibit 2); and c. Make the finding that the project complies with the Residential Design Guidelines (Exhibit 2); and d . Make the required considerations as required by Section 29 .20.150 ofthe Town Code for granting approval of an Architecture & Site application (Exhibit 2); and e. Approve Architecture and Site Application S-14-056 with the conditions contained in Exhibit 3 and development plans included as Exhibit 26; or 2 . Approve the application with additiona l a nd/or modified conditions; or 3. Continue the matter to a date certain with specific direction. ~~ Prepared by: Erin Walters Associate Planner JP :EW :cg Community Development Director cc: Urban West, LLC/ Nicole King, 22 S.

Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, REC[:·.:eo MAY 2~ i'U16 S-14-t)Sh TOWN OF Lr·r r'il,TOS PLANNING ~;·;,:.;ION This is to inform you that the property located at 18151 Overlook Road , Los Gatos , California is owned by the Ronald M. Tate Trust. My son Lance Tate, who is also my business partner, has been the point person on this project, and has been helping me to acquire the approvals for the new home I am proposing to be built on my property. When Lance asked me if I would consider planting the proposed tress on your side of our joint fence line and agree to do maintenance the trees for 1 0 years, my initial reaction was that this might work to satisfy your demands. Now that I have had time to study your demands more carefully and to think through the many ramifications it almost certainly would involve , particularly since I am 80 years old and have no idea where I might be 10 years from today, I no longer believe that is the best path forward and wish to propose an alternative solution I believe will be easier, more efficient and should be satisfactory to you .since you will have in your possession the funds to do any estimated maintenance on the Trees that might be required over 10 years In working through the original proposal with my attorney, he counseled me that any such agreement would be impractical at many levels. To mention just a few, the drafting of any such agreement would require extensive research and preparation and revision of a lengthy and detailed agreement negotiated not just by us, but also at considerable expense to each of us, by our attorneys. The agreement would have to anticipate not just our participation, but the involvement of others likely to own our parcels in the future (since one or both of us may sell our homes in the next decade, which would require the use of compl icated cross-s and cross- insurance agreements. Please consider the following alternative resolution, which I believe makes more sense practically, economically and in a way that addresses all of your privacy concerns, all subject to further discussion and binding only when signed by all of us: 1. "Kelly Property" means the property owned by David M . Kelly and Rita E. Kelly located at 9 Chestnut Avenue, Los Gatos , California. (the Kelly Property). EXHIBIT 2 0 2. "Tate Property" means the property located at 18151 Overlook Road, Los Gatos , California. The Ronald M. Tate 1988 Separate Property Trust Dated April13, 1988, as amended ("Tate Trust") owns the Tate Property. 3 . The Tate Trust and Kelly would , by execution of a binding agreement, to proceed as follows: 3.1. Arborist. Upon execution of a binding agreement, the Tate Trust will agree to pay the inspection and bid estimate charges ("Inspection Fees") by Richard Gessner a licensed arborist agreed to by Kelly and the Tate Trust and retained by Kelly: (a) to inspect the Kelly property to determine whether it is possible and , if so, the best way, to plant on the Kelly Property along the fence line between the Tate Trust and the Kelly Properties seven Podocarpus Gracilior Trees each approximately 15 to 17 feet in height when planted (collectively, the "Trees"); and (b) to provide an estimate of the cost of performing any maintenance that might be required on the Trees for 10 years after they are planted (the "Ma intenance Fees"). 3.2. Landscaping Contractor. Upon execution of a binding agreement, the Tate Trust will agree to pay the inspection and bid for estimated charges of South Valley Landscaping a licensed landscaping contractor agreed to by Kelly and the Tate Trust and retained by Kelly to provide a bid for: (a) the installation of the Trees and the cost of removing the existing foliage on the Kelly Property to make way for the planting of the Trees ("Installation Bid "); and (b) the installation of a drip irrigation system to provide water to the Trees ("Irrigation Bid"). The Installation Bid and the Irrigation Bid, once approved, constitute the "Landscaping Fees." 3.3 . Contingency Reserve and Payment Terms . Upon availability of all the permits nec ess ary to construct the proposed home on the Tate Trust Property , the Tate Trust will pay to Kelly 110% of the amount of the Landscaping Fees plus 110% of the amount of the Maintenance Fees (collectively , the "Total Tree Fees"). Kelly will be entitled to apply and keep the full amount of the Total Tree Fees if it exceeds the combined costs of the Landscaping Fees and the Maintenance fees ; the Tate Trust will not have any obligation to provide additional funds if the costs of the Landscaping Fees and the Maintenance Fees exceed the amount of the Total Tree Fees paid by the Tate Trust. 4 . As part of a binding agreement that includes the above inspections, services and payment agreements , Kelly will: (a) remove , permanently and will not reinstate all of its objections to development of the Tate Trust Property; (b) accept the Total Tree Fees as paymen t in full by the Tate Trust as full performance by the Tate Trust under the binding agreement; (c) assume the exclusive financial responsibility of having the Trees planted and maintained; and (d) agree to hold harmless the Tate Trust for any and all damages to Kelly, the Tate Trust, the Kelly Property and all others that relate to or arise from all inspections and investigations , the installation of the Trees, th e installation of the Tree irrigation system , and the irrigation, care and maintenance of the Trees once installed. I look forward to your response at your earliest opportunity and believe that th is alternative proposal will work much better for you than the proposal originally considered.

Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 (408) 354-6834 RE: 18151 Overlook Road, Los Gatos, CA Dear Erin , May 26,2016 RECEiVED MAY Z 7 2016 5-lt.t-C'~ TOWN OF LOS GATOS PLANNING DIV ISIO N This letter is in resp onse to the letter written by Rita and David Kelly (Kelly) regard i ng 18151 Overlook Road , Los Gatos ("Overlook"). I am Ron Tate , the current owner of the property. My company Urban West will be developing this property. As either my son/business partner or I have stated from the beginning , we have been and remain dedicated to finding a solution to alleviate the Kelly 's concerns regarding privacy. After reviewing my email to the Kelly 's on May 24th, 2016, I can see how they may have interpreted that as an ultimatum although that was not my intent. Based on how friendly, cooperative and collaborative we have been with the Kelly 's, it was my hope that they would view that email as a reminder of our time constraints rather than a demand for performance. Unfortunately, it appears that the Kelly's are not only no longer willing to work with us but have now resorted to personal attacks. While I fe e l our reputati o n in the commun ity would deem it unnecessary for us to defend ourselves, I am going to do so anyway as it will als o clarify some erroneous statements and insinuations by the Kel ly's. First, the Kelly's state that our primary goal i s money and that we have acted in disregard for the neighbors. These statements could not be further from the truth . As was stated by my son in a previous letter, we are a Los Gatos based, family owned and operated, real estate development company. I personally have been a member of this community, building homes and developing property since 1962. Until 2014 my personal residence for 1 0 years was at 16679 Madrone Ave, less than 1/1 0 1h of a mile from Overlook, so the charge that we are attempting to exploit the neighborhood that we were members of and still have friends living in is not only inaccurate but insulting. I have owned the office/commercial building at 22 South Santa Cruz Ave. occupying the entire second floor as my corporate headquarters for the last eighteen and a half years . My wife and I support the arts and the music activities in the community. We are not "flippers" as the Kelly's have incorrectly stated. Flippers take an existing home and make minor cosmetic improvements to the basic structure before selling the property for a profit. The end product is generally lacking the quality, craftsmanship or design considerations of a new home. First, because of the obsolete nature of Overlook's floorplan and dilapidated condition, even if we had purchased it with the intention of "flipping" it, the end product would be 1) a home that we would be hard pressed to sell and 2) a product that we would not want our name attached to. If our primary goal was money we would have just painted it, made minor repairs and "Flipped It" as Mrs. Kelley suggested is our core business. The fact is we purchased this property with the intention of engaging in the arduous, costly and time consuming process of acquiring the governmental approvals to demolish the obsolete, outdated structure, and replace it with a new, architecturally pleasing, environmentally and community conscious design. I also feel the need to address the claim that we did not work with the Kelly's in the design process. After several design iterations arrived at with input from both Town staff and the Town's contributing architect, we sent out a set of the plans to the surrounding neighbors for review and feedback (we did not and do not engage each neighbors input while we are initially designing the home). The Kelly's acknowledged receipt of the plans in a form letter we included with the plans (attached). When they raised their concerns we listened and we have taken a collaborative approach since . Finally, the accusation that we are bully i ng the Kelly's i s simply untrue. From the time they brought their concerns forward we have bent over backwards to do everything in our power to make them happy. Despite their decision now to make this process vindictive , we remain dedicated to working with them as will be deta il ed later in this letter. What I would like this letter to primarily focus on is the home itself. I bel ieve two major facts are being either overlooked or unfairly downplayed . First, we have designed a home that meets every one of the Town 's technical guidel ines. We have not pursued a single variance. Second, the Town 's highly respected contributing architect, Larry Cannon , writes in his December 11, 2015 report (the final of three reports he prepar ed for this project), "T he proposed house is well designed in a traditional architectural style with a scale compatible with other nearby homes , and the garage has been min i mized to allow more prominence for the entry." Another important and overlooked fact is that our proposed home won't even be the largest home on the street. Between our str ict adherence to Town's guidelines and the Town's contributing architect's endorsemen t of our plan, the argument that our home does not fit the character, mass and scale of the neighborhood, should reasonably be considered objectively incorrect. The height of our proposed design may seem higher to surrounding neighbors due to the ir properties being si tuated at a lower grade level than ours. Due to this site condition, we came up with a design that enhanced the privacy for our neighbors . We moved the main l iving area , the most trafficked area of a home, to the bottom floor while eliminating the second story deck that currently sits off the existi ng home's living area . We significantly reduced the amount of w i ndows along all sides of the property and agreed to frost the bathroom window along the back of the property facing the Kelly's. The lower elevation of the surrounding properties is not a problem we created and we have done all that we can to be sensitive to that, short of designing a home that would not meet the needs and des i res of a prospective homebuyer (low ceilings , dark rooms , etc.). Although we are in full compliance w ith guidelines and are objectively compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood, at the recommendation of Planning Commissioners , we pursued additional avenues to appease the Kelly's and Ms . Thompson . Per Commissioner Burch 's recommendation, we did explore moving the second floor of the home forward towards Overlook but as shown by Chris Spaulding (attached), that did not a ccomplish much in the way of privacy enhancement. Additionally, it would exacerbate Ms. Thompson 's concerns regarding the height of the house along her property. Our solution was to lower the entire structure six inches, the most we could reduce the structure while still protecting tree #4 and allowing fo r proper drainage . We paired this revision with lowering the master bedroom egress w i ndow eight inches . The end result is a solution that lowers the top of the window the Kelly's referenced, by a net fourteen i nches . Prior to the April 13 th Planning Commission hearing and reiterated again during the hearing, we offered to plant privacy screening trees along our side of our shared fence, a fence we installed at our sole cost to replace the dilapidated fence that previously sat between our properties . We went so far as to provide an image of the privacy enhancement the Kelly's would experience as a result. The Kelly's expressed concern that the eventual owner of Overlook would endure the expense and hassle of removing those trees to effectively reduce their privacy as well as the Kelly 's. At the Commission hearing I offered to plant the trees along the Kelly's side of the fence so that they would be in control of the privacy screening. After d iscussions with our legal counsel , we determined that the only way this could be achieved without exposing ourselves to excessive liability was to have the Kelly's hire the vendors to plant the trees on their property. We have offered to pay for the expense of removing existing shrubs on their property, the cost of planting the new trees , and the cost of maintaining the trees for a per iod of ten years . In the Kelly's most recent letter they brought up the cost of the legal fees related to having their legal representation review a potential planting agreement. To a l leviate that burden , in addition to the myriad of other mitigation measures, we are now offering to pay for the Kelly's cost of their arborist and legal representation up to $2,000. It is our sincere hope that this compels the Kelly's to soften the hardline approach that they adopted in their most recent letter and continue to cooperatively move towards a solution. In the event that the Kelly's elect not to continue what we felt was a very cooperative, cordial and mutually respectful relationship up until recently, then we respectfully request that Planning Commission approve our project conditioned upon the following: 1 . Lowering the home six inches as shown in Chris Spaulding's exhibit. 2. Lowering the egress window along the back of the property eight inches as shown in Chris Spaulding's exhibit. 3. Planting privacy screen i ng trees along our property line as shown in our updated planting schedule. We have done everything in our power to be sympathetic, considerate and reasonable in our pursuit of approval for our project. It is our belief that we have exhausted all options to make our neighbors happy while still designing a home that meets the desires and needs of a potential homeowner . We respectfully request that Planning Commission take all of our efforts, as well as the factual information related to our submittal into account when making their decision . On behalf of my staff, my son and myself, we would like to sincerely thank Town staff, the Planning Commission for their efforts and consideration.

We investigated 3 options -lowering the floor level of the house, moving the location of the second floor towards the front , and lowering the window height. 1: The ability to lower the house floor is limited by the requirements to protect tree# 4 . To protect the tree, the garage floor level is fixed at no lower than 579.5'. Per the attached graphic, the foundation wall can be extended up into the first floor wall to allow the floor to be lowered in relation to the exterior grade and garage, which allows the finish grades to remain as designed (to protect tree #4 while also allowing proper drainage). The house floor would then be level with the garage slab (and entry porch). This would result in the entire living area and sight-line being lowered 6". 2. We looked at the possibility of shifting the 2nd floor forward (towards Overlook Road). We identified the potential of shifting the 2nd floor 6' forward, which would require a significant re-design of the entire floor plan, due to the need to completely re-work the stairway on all 3 levels. As is illustrated in the attached sight-line diagram, the net reduction in the apparent height of the window would be less than 6". 3 . The 2nd floor windows are currently designed with a top-of-window height of 7' -6" off of ' the floor. The top of the window can be reduced to the standard door height of 6' -8 " (rough-opening height of 6' -1 0"). This would result in the apparent height of the top of the windows being lowered 8". My clients chose the options of lowering the house floor levels and lowering the top-of- window height to have a net reduction of the window height of 14". They feel the option of shifting the 2nd floor forward requires a disproportional amount of re-design for the benefit gained. These changes are of course coupled with the changing of the master bathroom windows to be obscure glass, and for the planting of mature trees for a visual screen between the properties. t~r r ·.--rr \ ~ \ ''" )'".:. f . • ~ I ·: \ 'r.: I ' \ ' '\ • I .

S-31. :>:n . 8 GS2 Enclosed are my observations regarding tree planting for screening purposes between the neighbo r 's located on 9 Ch estnut Avenue and 18151 Overlook Road in Los Gatos. Introduction Summary The s ite is large enough to accommodate several trees and screening could be achieved with proper planting and maintenance. Several specimens are availabl e in the size ra nges provided that would provide some immediate screening between properties. The maximum heights of the species selected would prov ide the required screening immediately and into the future. Background I was a sked by Urban Wes t , LLC to in spect the site conditions on 9 Chestnut Avenue to help determine if tree planting co uld be performed to help prov ide s~reenin g of the proposed structure on 18151 Overlook R oad. On May 17, 2016 I met with Kelly M oz umder, Rita Kelly, and arborist David Laczko on 9 Chestnut Avenue to examine the site and di sc us s pro posed plant ings. Assignment Determine if th e proposed trees are large enough and acceptable nursery sto ck to be planted fo r screening purposes. Limits of the assignment • No landscape plans were re v iewed . • The s ite sc reenin g issues were only v iewed f rom 9 Chestnut Avenue. • Several spec im ens were in spected at the growin g site , however none were marked .

Against the fence on 9 Chestnut Avenue are a row of privets (Ligustrum lucidum) which have been topped between two and five feet above grade and now have adventitious shoots growing to about ten feet above grade where they have been sheered to a uniform height. There is a large Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) with a trunk disputer of about 40 inches growing near the southwest corner. The Monterey pine has recent bark beetle (Dendroctonus valens) attacks near its base and the tree has a distinct sweep that leans north and grows vertical. The site has a space of about fifty feet across and fifty feet wide between the accessory dwelling and the privacy fences. There is irrigation to the area with existing valves near the southwest corner. Two different species of trees were measured and inspected which are fern pine (Afrocarpus falcatus) and sweet bay (Laurus nobilis) (Table 1 ). The trees were all growing in 36 inch or 48 inch box containers and heights ranged from fourteen to sixteen feet tall. The fern pines are single stem standard trees while the sweet bay were multi-trunk specimens with more dense foliage in the lower portions. There are at least ten or more specimens on the site I inspected in Morgan Hill , California. Discussion My nursery tree assessment included but was not limited to the following: root collar location and form , depth of plant in the container, circling roots at the surface , soil cracking and separation of root ball, kinked or crossing roots, loose root ball, undersized containers, presence of insects or disease, heights at soil level, and crown spreads. I found some specimens not acceptable which is normal for nursery stock, however there are at least ten trees of either species that would be considered acceptable. Because there is an existing Monterey pine in the backyard it will be difficult to plant close to that tree. Newly planted trees should be properly spaced no closer than eight feet apart and provide the desired function. With proper planting and irrigation to the trees would be expected to function as a screen for some time.

Walters Cc: David Kelly Subject: 18151 Overlook Road RECEIVED MAY 'L 5 Z016 S-lt_f-a90 TOWN OF LOS GATOS PLANNING DIVISION This letter is in regards to the remodel plans for 18151 Overlook Road, Los Gatos by Urban West, LLC ., owned by Ron Tate. I understand Mr. Tate's frustration regarding his project on Overlook, as it is costing him money as he has stated in his emails. For Mr. Tate it is all about money and capitalizing on sale of this property that gets its value from the character of our neighborhood. But for my family it is not about, and has never been about money, it is about maintaining the character of our neighborhood and maintaining our privacy. Please note that it is not our fault that we are in this situation. We used the same architect as Urban West, Chris Spaulding, so it would have been very easy for them to include us in the planning stage of the remodel as we already had a relationship with him. Actually , we would have welcomed Urban West to work with us regardless of who developed their plans. But that didn't happen and from the start Urban West has acted with complete disregard for us and our neighbors. Although I know this information is already filed, I would like to briefly recap how we have arrived at this situation. Shortly after Urban West purchased the Overlook property, a flurry of digging and what sounded like jack hammering occurred on the site directly behind our back fence resulting in the death of two large trees that offered privacy between our home and the Overlook property. The proposed plans add what looks like an additional level to the existing structure-as represented by the story poles. It will allow the new owners, whom we don 't know since it is being built it to "flip", to peer directly into our backyard, guest cottage, and right into our family room. In fact, when the story poles were added , I was sitting on my sofa in my family room and looked up to find the crew looking right at me-it was unnerving to say the least. And it continues to cause me stress---it makes me feel sick every time I look at it-which is constant due to its ominous size. EXHlBlT 2 4 During the April 13th Town Planning meeting, it was recommended that Urban West's plans be denied . However, we were willing to try and work with Urban West as we would like to have a new house and neighbors behind us. A continuance was granted so that Urban West could come up with a solution that mitigates the s ize of the structure and addresses our privacy concerns by placing the privacy screen on our property so that we have control to maintain the screening . Which is i mportant as demonstrated by the fact that the existing privacy screening was destroyed at the early stages of th is project as I mentioned above. Unfortunately, the privacy screen solution has not been easy because it creates a complicated scenario where we have to accept the burden of completing the work, including but not limited to, hiring a lawyer to verify/amend the contract that Urban West's lawyer put together, hiring an arborist to validate that the trees are suitable , and finding a landscape contractor to do the work. And while I understand why Urban West does not wish to perform these functions due to potent ial liabilities, we are being stressed by having to perform a landscape project that we did not have planned---for their benefit. We are also frustrated by Urban West's continued lack of consideration for us and our time . They complete everything when it is convenient for them and then expect us to turn everything around immediately and even revert to bullying tactics as demonstrated in the email regarding inspecting the trees in Morgan Hill. Just to be clear on the timing of the events . Urban West had their arborist come last Tuesday, which I accommodated (even thought I had to change my existing plans). The next action item was for the arborist to look at the trees, after which Urban West was to send an email to me and my arborist so we could inspect the trees. That did not occur until this Monday when we were told by Mr. Tate that we needed to look at the trees Tuesday or Wednesday which I was trying to arrange. However, before I could set the date I was sent an ultimatum email that I have to inspect the trees by Thursday or he was going to plant them on the Overlook property side which does not meet the requirements that we agreed upon during the last town planning meeting. It should be noted that the ultimatum letter was also the first t ime Mr. Tate shared the report from his arborist regard ing the condition of the trees located in Morgan Hill. Based on Urban West's (first managed by Lance Tate and then his father Ron Tate) continued lack of consideration for us and the undue stress and work/expense that this remodel is imposing on and will continue to impose on our family, we do not feel that the we can come to an agreement on how they can place a privacy screen on our property. And it should be noted that even with the changes made to the plans, the house is only lowered by 6 inches which still makes it too large and tall to fit the character of our neighborhood. While we would really like to have a new house and neighbors beh i nd us there should be new plans created that are suitable to the character of our neighborhood and with windows no higher than the window of the existing structure so that we don 't need 15' trees just to cover the windows. We cannot support and do not want to be associated with a project, such as this one, that sets the precedent of degrading the character of Los Gatos by allowing a house to be built that is too large and imposing for its neighborhood. Especially by a builder who is willing to bully and ignore the current neighbor's privacy to maximize profit.
