<br />August 1, 2006 <br /> <br />San Leandro City Clerk <br />835 E. 14th St <br />San Leandro, CA 94577 <br /> <br />Dear Sir or Madam: <br /> <br />We are writing in support of an appeal in the decision regarding 2888 Darius Way that <br />was rendered by the planning board on Thursday July 20. After attending the meeting, we do <br />not feel that the concerns of the neighbors were taken into consideration fully. <br /> <br />Committee members admitted not having seen the property from the perspective of the <br />neighbors above and below. Furthermore, the architect made several comments about the <br />surrounding properties that made it clear he was also Wlaware (or Wlconcemed) about the <br />effect such a large building (or "compound" as he referred to it) would have on the <br />neighbors. Although this compound will not be within our ~ we worry about the <br />precedent that it sets for the neighborhood. Although there are clearly not many lots of that <br />size here in Bay 0' Vista, there are seveIal existing homeowners that could seek to build up <br />and cite this height exception as precedent set in their favor. <br /> <br />Another concern we have is that this is a single family residence neighborhood. <br />Although the city has said a maximum of 10 adults can live in this home, the architect <br />admitted. that the builder/owner would like to have closer to 20 family members living with <br />him. The number of residents will be difficult to enforce and will gready add to the noise <br />and traffic emanating from the property. <br /> <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />rian and Erin Head <br />Bay 0' Vista Homeowners <br />2898 Marineview Dr. <br />
