Subject: North 40
Good evening Tom councilmembers. I just read the below on Nextdoor. I know that the parking
information is correct but cannot vouch for the remainder of the assertions in this post.
However they are concerning to me enough to write and say please hold the developer
completely accountable.
Our town needs sanity. We are a traffic mess and keeping this project accountable so that it
does not create more of a mess is imparative.
Please - we need as minimal intrusion from this large development as possible. Do not allow it
to become another unplanned unmitigated mess adding more than necessary to our traffic
mess.
Thank you.

NORTH 40 TRAVESTY! The current North 40 application does NOT meet the Housing Authority
Act! The HAA requirements are for the entire Phase 1 of the North 40 but the application
Summerhill submitted is only for 1 specific area. Therefore the town attorney is wrong to say
the commission can only rule inline with the HAA requirements. Summerhill is duping our town
by already removing access points to the underground parking ( not mentioned in the report)!
How many “small changes” will Summerhill make before the Planning Commission’s carefully
created plan ends up not what was promised to the town that which makes our town better?
All hands on deck to stop Summerhill’s snowballing us into something the town of Los Gatos
doesn’t want and can’t live with!
The next town meeting is September 28 at 7 pm!

Subject: North Forty- Disapprove of modifications
Dear Los Gatos Town Council,
We disapprove of the following modifications to the North Forty previously agreed
to underground parking. As you are most aware, Los Gatos needs more parking
spaces, and we should use this opportunity to increase the number of spaces. Also,
these parking spaces may lighten the load of cars parked on our streets.
Consider approval of a request for modification to an existing Architecture
and Site Application (S-13-090) to remove underground parking for
construction of a commercial building (Market Hall) in the North 40 Specific
Plan Area. Located at 14225 Walker Street. APN 424-56-017. Architecture
and Site Application S-20-012. Property Owner/Applicant: Summerhill N40,
LLC. Project Planner: Jocelyn Shoopman.
Respectfully,
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Crumpton,
