With many <br />of the residents in the throes of the holiday season and the short notice, many of the community will not be able <br />to attend because they were not aware and/or have a prior commitment. <br /> <br />Please include my email as part of the records for tonight's meeting as it details our concerns. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Yvonne <br /> <br /> <br />On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 12:14 PM yvonne gee > wrote: <br />Dear San Leandro City Council, <br /> <br />First, I'd like to thank you for faithfully serving our city. <br /> <br />I am a 40+ year San Leandro resident as my family moved to Creekside in 1976, and aside from my time away <br />at college have remained a San Leandro resident and taxpayer.

The latest proposal details are: <br /> 3 stories <br /> 45 units <br /> 47 parking spaces + 8 visitor spaces <br /> No car stackers <br />I live nearby the Middle School and am quite familiar with this area Bancroft is part of my daily commute. <br />This is too large of a structure for that property. Bancroft Ave. is already a popular, well-trafficked road, it is <br />fairly congested, especially with the middle school traffic. Adding an apartment complex would further
