Support for 16362 Hilow Road , los Gatos
We are writing with regards to the new home construction at 16362 Hilow Road. My family and I live
directly across the street from this address and are strongly in favor of moving forward with the
project. We are looking forward to replacing the previous eyesore with the proposed house design
and to welcoming new neighbors to the community.
