concerned neighbors were able to influence the HOA decision to send out a mail to <br />create more noise during the hearing which is unprecedented. <br />3. Validity of Opposition Outside the Notification Radius Because this campaign was <br />driven by economic misinformation, many recruited neighbors may cite secondary "planning <br />reasons" or "neighborhood character" as a pretext for their opposition. I urge the City to <br />recognize that testimony from residents outside the legal notification radius—who were <br />recruited via this "multi-casting" of misinformation—should not be given the same weight as <br />immediate neighbors. I am afraid most of them are driven by the false propaganda that this will <br />cause property value loss for them. Their presence is a product of administrative overreach <br />and fear-mongering, not a direct impact of the project on their own properties. <br />4. Basis of Opposition: Harassment and Falsehoods The opposition is rooted in <br />documented hostile conduct. On March 2, 2026, a neighbor (Ms. Ekaterina Utova,2902 Liberty <br />Dr.) illegally entered my home without consent, shouting at my wife in front of my minor saying <br />things like “Are you crazy “ after entering our home without permission. Despite my urging for a <br />peaceful discussion, she stormed out, slamming our front door. (captured on Ring <br />video).Furthermore, the flyers claim a "loss of privacy" despite our plans featuring zero <br />windows on the second-story side facing the adjacent property—a fact the neighbor has <br />already verified but continues to misrepresent in the “anonymous” flyers. <br />5. Request for Administrative Review I have remained a compliant resident, following <br />every City procedure. I request that the City evaluate this project based on the Pleasanton City <br />Code and objective architectural facts, rather than the manufactured noise of a recruited <br />opposition that has bypassed the City’s established legal notification protocols. <br />Sincerely, <br />Shrihari Achayath 2986 Liberty Dr, Pleasanton, CA <br />-- <br />-Thanks & Regards, <br />Shrihari.A <br />"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than <br />by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the <br />trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." <br />Mark Twain
