April 14, 2025 <br /> <br />I am a property owner currently residing within the Harbortown Planned Unit Development <br />(PUD) in the City of San Mateo where recent upgrades to commercial oHice buildings <br />across the street by the Longfellow Real Estate Partners (LFREP) dubbed the “San Mateo <br />Science Center” at 901/951 Mariner’s Island Boulevard continues to have a wholly negative <br />impact on the quiet enjoyment of my residence and my community due to constant noise, <br />vibration, and harmonic oscillations as a result of such modifications. Furthermore, the <br />final result is nothing short of an eyesore and a blight on the nearby residential <br />communities (Ref. Figures 1 and 2). <br /> <br /> Figure 1: San Mateo Science Center as seen from Parkside Aquatic Park Figure 2: San Mateo Science Center as seen from Shoal Drive <br /> <br />Ever since construction was completed in mid-2024, over half of my residence — in <br />particular my patio, dining, living, and work areas — have all been rendered practically <br />unusable due to the constant noise which overpowers any sounds of the natural <br />environment. An incessant hum which is almost more felt than heard whereby I’ve had to <br />resort to playing music in the background or wearing earplugs inside my residence just to <br />stay sane. Inviting others into to share a quiet meal at my home is unthinkable and simply <br />opening my windows during warm days or evenings is intolerable. During calm evenings I <br />can even hear the noise in my bedroom at night which negatively impacts my sleep and in <br />turn has had a detrimental impact on both my physical and mental health. <br />
