EXHIBIT J From: Michael Harmon Sent: Sunday, November 03, 2013 5:07 PM To: Steve Otto Subject: Planning Commission Steve, My name is Michael Harmon and I live attiMINFAIMNINith While my wife and I have lived in Pleasanton since 2004, we only purchased our home in April of this year. I received the planning Commission Notice of Public Hearing for the consideration of P13-2446, P13-2447 and P13-2448 on November 13, 2013 at 7:00pm and wanted to reach out to you regarding my specific concerns. The property we purchased was built in 1928. It is a very small three bedroom house with a detached garage that was built sometime after the house.The garage is very rundown and will most likely need to be replaced. In addition, we were considering building on to the back of our house by 12 feet or so to extend the third bedroom. We purchased on 2nd Street because of the people we met and the charm of the houses that help to make the neighborhood what it is. While we haven't talked to the city about either of these projects (we just adopted our baby girl in April and we have been very busy!), my concern is that we will have difficulty with these projects in the future. While I agree it is important to maintain the look and feel of the neighborhood, I also believe that as a homeowner who has purchased the home,the land and pay a large amount of property taxes, I should have a certain amount of rights in regards to my personal property. Per the flyer I received, it said I had to notify the city of my concerns and in sending this email I hope have accomplished that. Can you please confirm that is the case? I would like to attend the meeting on the 13th. Can you also confirm that this meeting is open to homeowners like myself? Thank you for your time. Hopefully, I will get a chance to meet you at the Planning Commission meeting.
