PLANNING DIVISION July 5th, 2015
I reside 2 homes away from the proposed new home at 17061 Wild Way and would
have liked to attend this hearing to voice my support, but I will be travelling and so
am unable to attend.
Mr. Jeans has worked with neighbors during the design of the proposed home and
has come up with a design that fits in well on the property, which has a number of
beautiful oak trees on it that made his task complicated.
I like the fact that he has moved the house forward on the lot so that the three big
oak trees at the rear of the property will remain and will form a backdrop for the
home. Many of the homes in this neighborhood are close to the street and this is a
common feature you see as you drive around. It is a 2 story home, which is also in
keeping with the neighborhood, but as the north side of Wild Way is below the level
of the street it will not be imposing.
I like the driveway to the garage being on the left side of the house, which has
a llowed Mr. Jeans to retain the tree screen at the front of the property, including
several oaks, which will continue to be the primary view as I drive down Oak Ridge
Way towards Wild Way. The house itself is Spanish mission in design, which will fit
well into this eclectic neighborhood. There are smaller homes and larger homes in
this immediate neighborhood. My own home is larger (2 doors away across the
street) as is Elle Stern's home at 17121 Wild Way (2 doors to the West) and the
12,000 ft. estate (2 doors to the East) -so it is clearly consistent with other homes in
the neighborhood.
All in all a good contribution to the neighborhood! I look forward to construction
being over, however, as it is always difficult when construction is going on.
