Subject: Lebedenko project on El Cajon
I live at 249 Las Miradas Dr. and I wanted to show my support for the remodel proposed by the Lebedenko property. My
husband, Brad and I feel it will add to the value of our homes, and will be an attractive upgrade to the neighborhood.
We will be very disappointed if their plans do not pass.
Best regards,
Janet and Brad Stimson

Dear Planning comity,
We want to express our support to our neighbors Lebedenko family.
We believe that tier plans for two story house will not disrupt overall look of the neighborhood. We want to
mention that there are already several two -story houses in the vicinity. The design looks nice and fits overall
look of the neighborhood.
This construction will make this house a good size home for single family, making it more comfortable, and in a
sense stronger.
Thanks for considering,
Svetlana Furman

Subject: Support for Application #: S -14 -036 (Lebedenko, 240 El Cajon Way)
Dear Los Gatos Planning Commission:
We are writing to show our support and enthusiasm for our neighbors, the Lebedenko family, and their
application (S -14 -036) to expand their home at 240 El Cajon Way.
As a matter of introduction, we are the Benjamin family, and we currently live at 235 El Cajon Way (directly
across the street from the Lebedenkos). We are excited about the Lebedenko's two story design, as we feel that
it conforms to the other two story homes in the neighborhood, as well as to the overall style and character of the
neighborhood. Additionally, we are excited about the visually appealing design of their home, and we believe
the two story expansion is an appropriate size for a single family home in our neighborhood, not to mention
enable them to have a house that will fit their family needs.
The Lebedenko's are a wonderful family, and we are excited to have them remain in the neighborhood with a
house that conforms to both their family and their neighborhood.
Best Regards-
Jeff, Holly, Jackson, Halle and Hayden Benjamin
