, � � ;Z� ATTACHMENT 9 Maare.en Riordan, November 16, 2004 Senior Planner, Planning Deparanent. 1017 Middlefield Road, Relaterl to Application of first Community Housing and � City Hall, Redwood City, Peninsuta Habitat for Humanity as described in "IVotice of California 94063 Public Hearing" for November 16, 2004, meeting to be held at 7:30PM, Redwood City, City Hall Council Cha�►ber Ms Riordan: I have talked to you a number of times at the Planning Department Desk; my name is Robert J. Galet I own the property at 112-120 Vera Avenue in Redwood City, just across the street from your pmposed project at 1540 EI Camino Real, and 124-136 Lincoln Street. Here is my position: 1,) Related to traffic heading south on Ei Camino Real: The sigaal light just past Vera Avenue stops traffic creating a bottle neck for cars trying to get onto Vera Ave. and a bottle neck for cars on Vera Ave wanting to access El Camino Real. I suggest you red curb the present parking area on El Camino Just before Vera to create a Iane for cars wanting to turn onto Vera Avenue. I also suggest that you make Vera Ave. a one way street for one block, from El Camino Real to Adams St. The reason being there will always be a hazard for cars on Vera Ave wanting to tutn right onto El Camino Real, the more cazs wanting to turn right the higher the frustration for cars on Vera Ave and EI Camino Real. Making Vera Avenue a one way street for one block will give people who live on Vera Avenue access all the way to Dickey Street. It isn't fair to ask residents in the first block of Vera Avenue to suffer the coming traffic increase. Residents who live on Adams St can use Vera Ave. to get to there homes, then exit onto other streets. Residents who live on Vera Avenue above Adams St. will have to exit onto other streets. The proposed structure at 1540 El Camino Real will have an entrance to an under ground Garage which will be (according to proposed drawings) directly across from my driveway on Vera Avenue; If cars are backed up on Vera Ave. Uying to access El Camino Real, cars that access from EI Camino Real may not be able to access that garage. Also cars that want to access that garage may want to wait in front of the 112 -120 driveway blocking cars that want to exit that property (my property). 2.) The Property I own at 112-120 Vera Avenue when I purchased it was zoned R2; at some point the property must have been wned R4, today it is wned CG. All I can say is someone is out to get me, screw me, screw me up you can't have two ide�ical properties side by side 10 separate rental units each and wne one R4 and the other CG. Any one who buys the property would want to rent t3�em not fight a legal battle to undo a fisud, entrapment put upon me intending to damage me, caose me trouble, trouble I was never informed about, trouble I would only find out about when there was a complaint. I claim somebody wants my water, wants to shut down my water, make sure I never rent my duplexes again. I don't have a business License, I am out of business , shut the door, wne my property CG, cause trouble to get my property away from me, �uin me. • I get letters from Robert J. Greene who is Operarions Manager at Muni Services Company (MBIA) He sends me three notices, ti�e last one is a final Notice, in each notice he wants me to fill out a business License and send it to him. Our records show that you are currentty conducting business and/or renting or leasing commercial or residential property within the City of Redwood City wi�out a business license (The Final Notice). The first two notices are demands to send him a business License cleazly a trap when I wasn't aware of tbe CG zoning. So no matter how I filled out a business license I would be dishonest, stuck to resolve it in court or pay estimated fines. The wned CG must have been there along time. Someone told me they wanted to tum my property into a day care center. I want to feel that 5 story buildings all around me means I can do the same. If I can't do it then I protest d�e construction of that tall a building on the grounds that it will deprive my property of suntight, hurt the value of my property.
