This letter is written by <br />Ray and Michele Peterson <br />3520 Dennis Drive <br />Pleasanton, CA <br />We are appealing the outcome of the Zoning Hearing dated July 18, 2025, <br />regarding application P25-0236. <br />1.There is a conflict of interest with this application for 6 15-ft tennis court lights. <br />The Zoning Administrator responsible for making a decision on this application is the same planner who <br />responded to the applicants' original inquiry about a tennis court with lights and fencing, disregarding <br />any permits or setback requirements on an <br />R-1-40,000 lot. <br />The ZA also acknowledged that the applicants contacted him AFTER the court was already poured, 6 feet <br />from the property line and light bases in place. <br />So essentially, the setbacks in place now were determined by the applicants themselves and the project <br />was never just flat work. <br />See Attachment A. <br />2.When approving application P25-0236, the ZA's reasoning is not consistent with the Agenda Report for <br />the Planning Commission meeting of May 22, 2024, written by the planning staff. <br />The report states: <br />"The addition of six (6) tennis court lights, not to exceed 15 feet, in height is considered construction of <br />new small facilities or accessory structures." <br />The ZA stated the lights are now separate, not part of the "package", therefore not bound by the setback <br />requirements of an accessory structure. <br />He gave no basis for this statement. <br />In this same meeting, the commissioners confirmed with planning staff that the setbacks for this project <br />should have been 20 feet. <br />See Attachment B. <br />Page 114 of 323
