It is <br />the neighborhood's notable architecture, modest sized, "affordable" homes and leafy character of the <br />neighborhood that attracted me and many of my neighbors to Redwood City. Yet over the last several years the <br />neighborhood has seen the unrelenting attack and the demolition of one charming home after another only to <br />have them replaced by oversized monster homes that do not fit the character or spirit of our <br />neighborhood. While Mount Carmel may be the current hot target for redevelopment and monster home <br />construction, it certainly won't be the last. <br />I received the attached document from my neighborhood association and see it as just the kind of common sense <br />approach we need to preserve what is is so special about Redwood City. While it is unreasonable to plan for or <br />to expect no growth or development, the current state of uncontrolled development is unacceptable and screams <br />out for attention along the lines of the attached proposal. I encourage the Council to take action now. <br />Thank you for your service to the city and for your attention to this important, time -sensitive matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ron Susek <br />230 Fulton Street <br />Redwood City, CA 94062 <br />rsusekna,¢mail.com <br />
