Mitigated/ Resolved Applicant Compromise / Resolution / Rebuttal The proposed second floor has been designed so that it is close to the front of the home (further away from the rear neighbors). The only bedroom window that will face the Persin's backyard is more than 40 ft distance from the property line and more than 60 ft distance from the backyard patio and pool. Wth these distances the line of site is limited into their backyard. Mitigation To lessen the impact of reduced privacy the applicant have agreed to reduce the size of the bedroom window, reduce the size of the two bathroom windows, raise both bathroom windows above view, and to plant landscaping to maintain each parties privacy. In addition the applicant's will continue to respect both audio and visual privacy, as they have for twelve years. The annlicant's are very aware of Pleasanton's Community of Resolution: David and Stephanie's home as well as Hans and Roxana's home is to the south of the proposed addition. There is no sunlight that is blocked any time of the year. This term "view" has been loosely used throughout the process. To be clear. there is no "view" of mountains, hills, or oceans. Th: view that is currently seen is of neighborhood tree tops, homes, and sky. Resolution: To resolve this issue the proposed roof has been designed with minimal slope to reduce the overall height and appearance of bulk and mass, and the roof is side gabled making the massing reduced toward the rear. Whenever a neighborhood sees a homeowner that re- invests/ upgrades their home, and does so with a well designed home, a: with this proposed addition, then the surrounding neighborhood property values increase, not decrease. Resolution: The resolution is to build this well designed proposed addition to ' assist in increasing the neighborhood's property value. Resolution: There are currently 15 two story homes in the Val Vista community, with the last one finishing construction in June 2010. No restrictions against a two story home exists for the subject property or surrounding properties. In fact the Declaration of Restrictions (CC &R's) for tract 2953 (Homer and Robin Ct.), written in 1969, affirms that this neighborhood was developed to support one and two story homes. The CC &R's were given to all homeowners when they purchased their home to make them aware that they, or their neighbors, have the abiliti to build up to 2 1/2 stories.
