4. Noise impact – Extended construction noise will be disruptive and potentially harmful for a newborn and toddler. As a speech and audiology professional, I am particularly concerned <br />about noise levels exceeding safe guidelines. <br />5. Safety and privacy for children – Workers on a second story would have direct sightlines into our yard where my grandchildren play, raising safety and privacy concerns. <br />6. Neighborhood character – This large two-story addition does not align with the original design and scale of the neighborhood, which was intended for smaller homes and open yard <br />space. <br />7. Precedent for overdevelopment – Allowing one home to maximize lot coverage may encourage similar expansions, changing the open, family-oriented feel of the neighborhood. <br />8. Length and disruption of construction – Projects of this scale often last a year or more. The prolonged disruption will negatively affect nearby families and daily life. <br />9. Property value impact – A structure that blocks light, privacy, and open views could negatively affect the value and future marketability of our home. <br />10. I am concerned with the loss of peace, tranquility, and pleasure of the use of my backyard during the lengthy remod process and afterward with obstructive sunlight, view, and <br />privacy. <br />Please include me on the agenda to speak at the March 18 hearing. <br />Thank you, <br />Michelle Tornaghi
