EXHIBIT K PIRa3anton �^I[lJR^[lurltgg ©2008 1`-� ociation Website: www.pleasantonheritage.org RO. Box1304 Pleasanton, CA 94566 To: Planning Commission Linda Garbarino From: Linda Garbarino, President President Pleasanton Heritage Association Bonnie Krichbaum Re: Proposed Project at 205 Neal Street Vice President November 3, 2011 Fred Krichbaum Secretary/Treasurer The Pleasanton Heritage Association is opposed to the Brian Bourg demolition of the cottage at 205 Neal Street. All but one short Recording Secretary wall on the side of the current cottage will be demolished. Board of Directors: The story poles were erected to show all of us what we feared: Christine Bourg the proposed structure looks too big because it is too big. The Kathleen Dlugosh attempt to justify the Floor Area Art Dunkley Ratio, (FAR), does not diminish the massing of the proposed structure. George Garbarino John Ribovich In the process of reviewing the latest plan for the new home Shelley Twarowski proposed for 205 Neal Street, several issues become evident: Advisory Board: • Three variances are still needed. Two of these variances address the need to allow tandem parking due to a clear lack of Finley Boag property width, and another that will allow the positioning of John Dlugosh vehicles one in front of the other too far forward in the very narrow driveway instead of garaging them or minimizing what PHA is a 501(c)(3) will be an intrusive view from the street. Public Charity and dues are tax deductible. • The third variance is needed to move the proposed house forward on the lot to "buy" as much room as possible. This would allow a setback that does not match that of homes in that historic neighborhood and further accentuating the oversized plan. -over
