8.B. - Page 199 <br /> 7/l5/l3 <br /> To whom it may cancern; <br /> My name is KelIie Guinto and I live at 1364 Valo�a Road in Redwood City and T am writing <br /> hecause I am opposed to the pianned development of Z�110 Vaiata Rd_ <br /> In the past years the parking on Valota has become a nig}�tmare and is almost impossible for me <br /> to park in front of my home due to al I the home based business operating on Valota near my <br /> home. �3�ave personally compiained several tirr�es ta the police department, code enforcernent,to <br /> the city,to councilmembers and nothing has been done to frst address the existing problem and <br /> now tha city is adding more residents that will onIy increase the existing parking problem. I <br /> attended the Planni�g Commission meeting and ther�was no mention as ta where the <br /> construction crew, e4uipment and vehicIes will be parked. <br /> 1 have ]ived at my ac�dress for over 10 years.There has been no outreach done to neighbors�or <br /> this project. On March 13,20l 2 a le�ter(atCached)was sent to Associate Planner Michelle <br /> Li�IefieId from neighbor Lori Burnett that outlined the cozzc�rns of the neighbors. That letter was <br /> rtever acknowledged or responcied ta. Lori requested as a resident of Redwood City to be noti�ed <br /> of fi�ture meatings regarding this project and that never happened. <br /> Valota Rd. currently has single-farnily units, duplex and triplex units. I am very concerned about <br /> the Iook af the new developmen�.Ascetically will it camplement the street and the existing <br /> homes? There is no proof that this project will not degrade the visual character of my street. <br /> I reviewed the initial study that I found on the cities website. And after reviewing the study, I find <br /> that there is no beneficial impact to the city or my neighborhood. In fact with the construction <br /> there is a hig� Iikefy hood that n�gative impact to the air quality will affect my son's(who suffers <br /> from asthma)ability to breathe. Page 23 says that the construction-generated dust would result in <br /> a short-term significant air quality impact. <br /> Page 60 says that peace of the neighborhood wi�l be will be signifrcantly impacted hy the noise of <br /> derrioiition and canstruction between the hours or 7:OOam—8:04pm. The nuisance wiIl aft'ect my <br /> far�niIy,my children and the residential day care zzext door to my home. I am not impressed with <br /> de�elopers' claims to hrre a"disturbance coordinator"who will most likely wait until the <br /> neighbors lives have become so disrupted that�ve are forced to finc�this person and complain. <br /> Why were we not noti�ed? How is it that the city can determine what happens on the street I live <br /> on without e�en contacting me or my neighbors.As a resident of Redwood City, per the •�� <br /> California Public Records Act,l would like to request alI permits, dacumerr�s, email <br /> correspondence and any other relevant information <br /> I expect to be updated and notified of any proposed developm�nts an my street that impact my <br /> family and me. <br /> SincereIy, <br /> Kelli Guinto <br /> C�.�(I�"t/'�-� <br />
