-) - - Page 1 of I Suzanne Davis - 15928 Union Ave -using Panorama for construction traffic From: Cecilia hohnberg <ceciliashao2000@yahoo.com> To: <SDavis@losgatosca.gov> Date: 5/6/2010 12:21 PM Subject: 15928 Union Ave -using Panorama for construction traffic CC: <panoramaway@googlegroups.com> Hi Suzanne, I would like to submit this letter for the next planning commission meeting. Thanks, Cecilia Dear Commissioners- I spoke with Tom Mangano the other day, and he told me had learned that Grant and leans are now proposing to leave the existing dwelling in place in order to continue collecting rent while construction begins on the back side of the property, utilizing Panorama Way as the access point, if the application should be approved. For the record, this is completely unacceptable to my husband and me, and I'm sure to all our other neighbors on Panorama as well. In order to try to buy our cooperation, they assured us that construction traffic would be minimized on our street and that the site would be screened off to reduce dust and noise, and now they want to funnel the bulk of the construction traffic and work through our cul-de-sac. We originally asked for the traffic concession not just because of the inconvenience or discomfort, but because there are now THIRTEEN children who live and play on Panorama, including three toddlers! And I don't mean "play" figuratively -our children run back and forth to each other's houses, play basketball and hockey, ride bikes, play hide-and-seek, learn to walk...they really, truly play, all up and down our street, pretty much every single day that it's not raining. As residents and property owners, we have the right to peaceful enjoyment of our homes and our neighborhood, which should not suffer a major negative impact when there is another, more direct, access point to the property. I understand that Grant and Jeans are probably trying to Look at all aspects of this project to find ways to save money, but let me reiterate that their construction budget is not OUR responsibility; there is absolutely NO reason that our children should help pay Grant's rent on that old shack by giving up their safety and well-being for a year (or however long the construction would take). This is yet another example to add to the laundry list of things that Grant and Jeans have misrepresented, with regard to this project. We ask the commission to please take these issues into consideration and protect the children of Panorama Way by rejecting the proposal to channel construction traffic into our neighborhood. Thank you, Cecilia Holmberg file://C:\Users\sdavis\AppData\LocallTemp\XPgrpwise\4BE2B441TOWN DOTOWNPO ExHIBIT 13
