We have also agreed, at significant costs outside our original budget, to <br />plant up to 3 new trees in the rear yard to mitigate privacy concerns. We also constructed story poles to outline, <br />for our neighbors who expressed concerns, the basic height and configuration of the rearmost roof and window <br />locations. <br /> <br />We believe the city has established very defined and reasonable zoning and building regulations to ensure that, <br />while home owners have a right to enhance and develop their property, it must be done within well established <br />standards related to safety, neighborhood preservation and general impact to neighboring property owners. We <br />have fully complied with these established regulations and have additionally altered our proposal to mitigate <br />privacy concerns by several neighbors. We firmly believe our proposal is fair, reasonable and just, under the <br />present guidelines and regulations set forth by the City of Pleasanton, and should be allowed to proceed. We <br />believe the objections of certain neighbors are not reasonable, or rational, and attempt to unjustly prevent us, as <br />property owners, from exercising our rights under the law to enhancl' and develop our home as we are entitled. <br /> <br />6/9/2006 <br />
