ATTACHMENT 4 <br /> From: Christina <br /> Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 9:17 PM <br /> To: Steve Otto <br /> Cc: Steve Mayhugh <br /> Subject: City of Pleasanton Planning Commission Proposal PCUP -249 <br /> Hello. Please note that I am unable to attend tomorrow evenings hearing. However, I <br /> would like to formally express concern regarding the impact of the significant changes <br /> that will occur should a conditional use permit be granted to Barone's Restaurant. My <br /> residence is 545 Saint John St in Pleasanton. I'm a tenant and have included the property <br /> owner in this communication. While I cannot speak to the potential impact to property <br /> value I would like to address the noise, safety, parking and my continued tenancy in this <br /> community. We are directly adjacent to the restaurant property and are already subjected <br /> to a fairly high volume of noise from outdoor music and other events held on Main St. <br /> Approving the request for amendment to construct a permanent stage and modify <br /> operating hours guarantee noise nuisance 7 days a week into the late hours <br /> every evening. These units are currently subjected to a extensive noise nuisance. Had full <br /> disclosure been provided by the leasing agent who handled my rental I would likely not <br /> have signed my lease. I renewed the lease which runs through the end of this year <br /> because moving again represented significant financial investment. Therefore I've <br /> attempted to adjust to the trains, which turns out are not commuter only and the dog <br /> kennel to the north of my unit. Both of these existing noise generaters necessitate my <br /> windows remain closed much more than I'd like. Windows closed to block <br /> noise increases my utility bills and uses energy when we should be conserving. Parking <br /> and safety are additional concerns as we already experience disruption due to Main St <br /> activities. Should this permit be granted I not renew nay lease and should disclosure of <br /> these activities be provided to potential new tenants that could represent occupancy <br /> problems or even a need to reduce the monthly rent. It would be irresponsible for <br /> the Planning Commission to consider approval of this request. If I can provide any <br /> further information that will assist, please contact me at the number listed below. <br /> Christina Sheppard <br /> SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL. <br /> Provided to the Planning Commissbn <br /> After Distribution of Packet <br /> Date Distributed: <br />
