DATE: Oct. 12, 2021
TO: Planning Commissioners and Town Council Members
Town of Los Gatos, California
SUBJECT: Proposal to Subdivide and Develop Property at
16466 Bonnie Lane, Los Gatos, CA 95032
Dear Planning Commissioners and Council Members,
Please add our names to those opposing the proposal to subdivide and develop
the parcel at 16466 Bonnie Lane.
As Bonnie Lane residents since 1969, our family co-led Bonnie Lane preservationists in
the 1980s to change our zone and thereafter deed our dilapidated, private road over to
the Town of Los Gatos for paving and maintenance. That effort over several years
involved building a consensus to limit subdivisions, and to accept inclusion in an
extension of town boundaries (which had already included only several of us).
We neighbors worked very hard for that success in protecting our tranquil environment
of lush greenery, open space, and frequent wildlife – including birds, deer, honeybees,
cottontails, possums, raccoons, etc.
Our own property is not as close to the proposal as are others on Bonnie Lane, but we
would feel its likely effects of increased traffic, lesser wildlife, and damage to nearby
Ross Creek.
Moreover, we sympathize with those who would be more impacted, and we support
their request that you preserve our neighborhood’s unique character by denying the
proposal.
Thank you for your dedicated service to Los Gatos!
Sincerely,
Karen Ettinger, Trustee, Karen Ettinger Family Trust
