EXHIBIT F Stefanie Ananthan From: S McGinnis Sent: Saturday, May 16, 2020 5:52 PM To:Jenny Soo <JSoo@cityofpleasantonca.gov> Subject: PUD-135, P19-0031 Alaina Stewart/Bringhurst LLC I am Steven McGinnis, a resident of Sycamore Creek Way in Pleasanton, California. Our residence is within 500' of the subject property's proposed development. I would like the Planning Commission to know that the owners of the property have been excellent neighbors. Although we don't know each other, I do know that they have kept the property free of weeds,vermin and debris for the more than fifteen years we have lived in our home. They have proven to be responsible property owners through the period. That said,we urge the Commission to approve the amendment to the North Sycamore Specific Plan. Completing the development of the vacant property on our street would benefit the property's neighbors,the neighborhood and the City of Pleasanton. Completion of the three homes along Sycamore Creek Way will add to the attraction of our neighborhood and it would also add value to the city's property tax base. Because of the current medical emergency, I will not be attending the hearing, but I am available to provide any additional information the Commission may request.
