ATTACHMENT 6 From: Emilie Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2010 6:02 PM To: Steve Otto Subject: re: PUD 82 David Di donato I am a homeowner at 4145 Stanley Blvd. I have several objections to the proposed development to be located at 4171 and 4189 Stanley Blvd. First is parking. Our street is already impacted by a lack of parking. Once the street is modernized and utilities undergrounded there will be parking at all on the South Side of the Street. How are you, the city going to enforce that all residents will park in their garages. There are only 5 guest parking lots. What if just one resident has a party? Where will people park? I believe there should be one guest parking space for each house. The second is type of housing. I believe there is a need in Pleasanton for more affordable housing. The proposed development is for single family homes. We need more types of developments that feature smaller lots and homes for seniors and low income residents like the senior apartments, condos and mobile home park that are already in the neighborhood. The third objection I have is the complete razing of all of the tall heritage trees. I noticed that the planning commission allows for the developer to pay for trees to be built elsewhere in the city to compensate for those trees lost in our neighborhood. That is not a fair trade for the residents on Stanley Blvd. We need the trees in our neighborhood to provide oxygen, shade and filter out the particulates created by the train and traffic along Stanley Blvd. I request that the trees be saved or the same number general types of trees be planted inside the development. This may decrease the number of housing units, but large trees are crucial to preserving the neighborhood for the people and wildlife that live on our street. Please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be calling you to hear your response to my objections. Emilie Cruzan Click here to report this email as spam. 9/14/2010
