Karen Diaz <br /> Subject: FW: Old House at 4202 Old Stanley Blvd n <br /> 14 'flAL. MATERIAL <br /> re Ile City Council <br /> stribution of Packet <br /> From: Linda Garbarino <br /> X-19—ad/3 <br /> Sent: Monday, August 19, 2013 3:17 PM :late <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <br /> Subject: Old House at 4202 Old Stanley Blvd. <br /> Hello Mayor Thorne and Pleasanton Council Members, <br /> I am contacting you to ask for your support for the full rehabilitation of the old house lccated at 4202 Old <br /> Stanley Blvd. through the new buyers represented by Dale Morris, Broker, from United California Brokers. <br /> This issue will be heard at your August 20 Council meeting. <br /> Mr. Morris's buyers have a plan that supports fully rehabilitating the home for purposef11 use. As stated by Mr. <br /> Morris: Basically once the home is complete it will be in excellent condition yet will still have the old charm <br /> of down town Pleasanton.The elevations of the home will not be changed much, if Et all. <br /> This is clearly a win-win for those who want to maintain the home and keep it from demolition. It removes the <br /> conflict Ponderosa saw as a barrier to their development from the beginning. They would not have to put any <br /> money, time or effort toward their "cosmetic face lift plan" for the old house. I can't imagine that Ponderosa <br /> would purposely block a buyer who wants to fully restore the old house to save it from iemolition. It would <br /> certainly make them look bad. The full rehabilitation by Mr. Morris' client supports the goals of the <br /> homeowners and merchants on that street who have rehabilitated old homes and made tsem into successful and <br /> attractive businesses. Supporting United California's earnest buyer's plan provides the cuuncil with an <br /> opportunity to demonstrate a way to protect and enhance heritage property that fronts tt.e street while <br /> supporting the construction of the new homes proposed by Ponderosa behind the old house. Why is this not a <br /> good example of a win-win for both parties that the council could get behind? <br /> Thank you for your attention to this important issue. <br /> Linda and George Garbarino <br /> Division Street <br /> Pleasanton, Calif. <br /> 94566 <br /> t <br />
