Subject: Re: My Neighbor’s Remodel
Sean,
I haven’t received the notice of May 12 hearing. Please let me know if it is still on schedule.
Except the common concerns expressed in the joint letter of adjacent neighbors, I also like to show
additional details of my concerns by these attached images. The interpretations of the images are
following:
1.Figure 1: The plan has five windows facing to my side. All windows are higher than the fence 1’-
2’ (Blue area).
2.Figure 2: The media room has a huge double window. It’s almost as large as a backyard slide
door (Blue area).
3.Calculations: The total window area facing to my side is 4x3’x5’+3’x3’=69 square feet. It’s more
than double of my total window area (32 square feet). In addition, 3’+6’+2x(3’x2’)=21 square
feet is higher than the fence;
4.Figure 3 shows the view from my family room. The media room window and a bathroom
window is planned to install around the blue area.
5.Figure 4: One window opposites to my garage window as shown blue area. The neighbor at 140
keeps ignoring this window and said that there is no window on my garage.
6.Figure 5 shows that two windows facing to my walkway near the yard door. I’m about 6’ tall
almost same as the 6‘ height solid fence. It’s very uncomfortable with windows 2’ higher than
the fence.
Thanks.
Joe
