Planned Development Project looks nice and neat from the inside of the <br />proj ect but it infringes on the rights of all the neighbors all around the project <br />by circumventing city codes. The project talks about the "open space" inside <br />the project but all the two and three story structures will be looking into our <br />small yards and homes. The noise level will increase with more people, <br />building lights and yard lights will invade our property and most of all the <br />sun will disappear from our property. <br /> <br />2. On one of the prints, it talks of the new retaining wall that borders my <br />property . We have trees and established plants and shrubs that will be <br />affected by the retaining wall by possibly cutting roots and damaging or <br />destroying the plants. Who will pay to replace them? The retaining wall <br />shows a higher elevation of dirt on the project side of the retaining wall. <br />Will that leave our properties "catch basins" for ground water? On heavy <br />rains, ground water drains into our yards and has flooded up to one foot at <br />house level. This is also true for our neighbors, Alice & Roy Salvato. <br /> <br />3. With the homes so close to our homes and being two to three stories high, <br />our yards won't dry out during the winter months with limited sunlight. This <br />also would inhibit us from installing solar panels for the future. <br /> <br />4. Parking is a problem with overflow from the apartment buildings on <br />Woodside Road. Added parking from 24 additional homes is going to make <br />it very difficult. Most families use a portion of their garage for storage, <br />forcing them to park in their driveways or on the street. These homes don't <br />have driveways. Most families have more than one car. This means many of <br />the twenty-four families will be using on street parking because of <br />inadequate parking spaces on site. <br /> <br />5. Traffic will increase on Union Avenue because of people wanting to shop <br />at Safeway and not wanting to drive through two stop lights to get home. <br /> <br />C. 0 4l{:,vv\..) <br /> <br />\\):RLl 5G\'C 'f\eA~6-C)1\ <br /> <br />l \0 c) 0 U. ~Ci,^ \4 0-{-,~ <br />"'tZe.6~ C..\-, C~ 0:50 --3G, lr-cOv"78 <br />
