Natalie Amos From: JIM WIDJAJA Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 5:02 PM To: Natalie Amos Subject: Re: PAP -151 (Appeal of PDAR -2138, 5252 Meadowwood Ct, Pleasanton) To: Planning Division Dear Planning Staffs. 1 am a Pleasanton resident Having read through the PAP -151 (PADR -2 L S) case, L would like to voice my opinion. 1 am very surprised that Pleasanton does not have guidelines for second story window addition. This privacy issue is a basic foundation of any city planning, and it is essential that we have some guidelines like the one provided by other city such as Palo Alin Opening the window on the southern side of tf wall of 5252 Meadowwood Ct. not only will affect the comfort level of Susanto's home, but also reduce the desirability of the home. It can, potentially, reduce the resale value of the home. While Leroudier fancily is enjoying their window, the Susanto's family is getting all the negative impacts. Where is the fairness in this? This highly negative impact to the adjacent neighbor must be prevented by the city. As a resident of Pleasanton, I, too. do not want the same thing happen to my residence. Instead, I would like to see that Pleasanton's home value to keep up with the rest of the market, or better. I hope the Planning Commision will approve the appeal. and in the future will make decision in fair and wisely manner. I would also strongly recommend the city to establish appropriate guidelines for second story window addition to minimize this type of confusion in the future.
