Attachment 41From: rosa grossman [mailto:rosa q64@yahoo.com ] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2018 5:26 PM To: Council Subject: Community garden J GRACIAS OBRIGADO GRA Dear Mayor and Members of Council: IGA O TACK THANK YOU DA MERCI GRACIAS OBRIGADO We are supporting the idea for Phase 2 of North 4 project to have a Community garden for residents of Los Gatos at large, because Los Gatos does not have a Community garden, and a number of residents, like us, resign in apartments and don't have the possibility to grow their own vegetables. Sincerely, G. and R. Grossman, Los Gatos residents.

I urgently request that the moratorium for amendments on the Specific Plan be extended for an additional 12 months to allow the Town & the majority of its residents to fully explore the options for development. The extension is crucial as we have yet to realize the effects of the approved Phase I slated to begin shortly or truly explore amendment options. Traffic, congestion, impacts on the Town and its services , unexpected or expected changes; all major and many adverse and must be considered. As we spend another summer (and winter) with our streets clogged, unable to get out of our driveways ( or for myself to host open houses and try to make a living); it is imperative that we take this respite to plan responsibly and use the time allotted to make intelligent decisions that we will live with forever. Thank you so much for your time & consideration Shannon Holmes Susick ( 408)316-9559 From: Patricia Elliot [mailto:elliotlaw@mail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2018 10:15 AM To: Laurel Prevetti Subject: Please EXTEND the N40 moratorium Dear Council members, I am writing to implore you to extend the moratorium and or reject the amendments requested by the developer to add more housing and ignore the height restrictions residents fought long and hard for. Please do not cave to the developer's increasing demands. Once again-major, major, life altering decisions for our quality of life are being made by a developer and in the middle of summer when many residents are unaware or unavailable to attend hearings. Please extend the moratorium for a minimum of 12 months to allow residents a full understanding of the proposals and most importantly, for residents to live with the construction & traffic once construction begins in a few weeks. Please reject the developer's demands and extend the moratorium. Thank you, Patricia Elliot Marchmont Dr Los Gatos Patti Elliot Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity. From: David Weissman [mailto:qryllus@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2018 10:58 AM To: Council Subject: North 40 Dear Council, Please vote tonight to continue the moratorium. We should not be making these huge decisions during the summer on such short notice. It seems like the Town is being extorted into accepting the 55 foot height level in exchange for more open space. We should also have the opportunity to see what the initial aspects of the first part of the North 40 look like before committing ourselves to Phase 2. Also, the developer will be busy on Phase 1 and a delay in approving Phase 2 will not hurt the developer. Dave Weissman.

Item 12 in tonight’s council agenda, amendments to the North 40 Specific Plan. I would respectfully ask that you extend the moratorium to enable further discussion on this subject. I am aware that this is not the first time that this topic has been discussed however the contents are complex and multiple discussions ought to be needed. Additionally this is a time of year when many people including me are out of town and distracted by vacation and therefore we might not receive their full input tonight. Kind regards, Nick Williamson
