imagine that during the weekend I can play with my baby and maybe singing a lullaby to him and him gradually falling asleep, but with this project going on with all of these events around our house, I don't know how this picture is going to look like. So noise is definitely a key concern for us and I definitely agree with Greg that I'm not an acoustic expert but I know noises don't only come from music. It also includes human voices and what if some people start to play something not musical at all? For example, if someone plays the drums, is that allowed outdoors? I mean, by nature, you just cannot control the sound of a party. It's just the nature of the party, and the other point is I don't know if you use an app called NextDoor. It's a community app and people share information with the community. I think there's one item under each person's profile which is called, "Why do you choose to live in this community ?" I found that most people who live in Valley Trail put "quiet" and "peaceful" for their reason to live in this community. So the reason we're here today is that we don't want to lose the reason why we live in Valley Trail and we want our kid to grow in a healthy and quiet environment. Usha Gurazada: Good evening and thank you so much for listening to us. My name is Usha Gurazada and I am my husband Shama moved in here about 10 years ago and our property backs into the Masons property right next to the Millers. From everything that you guys just heard, all I want to say is we're a family. We work full -time. We have seniors in our home. We have young children in our home and what we love about Pleasanton is the environment, and this is clearly disrupting the environment that we chose the City for. So I think it is the responsibility of the City to adhere to the restriction of keeping these parties indoors and not letting it disturb what we want to do in our home and in our living space. I am totally with the Millers with the fact that these parties —the recommendations that the City is making is legalizing what they're doing outdoors and that's clearly not what we want and we're in fact hoping and expecting that you will listen to our voices. Thank you so much. Steven Deselms: Hello. I'm not very good at talking. I've been a resident since 1971. I'm an original owner. I grew up on the corner from the Millers and I don't think that you should permit the staff to pass their agenda. I think number one would be the best bet. I'm really appalled that the staff for the fact that they had a problem since 2009 and they can't fix the problem. That's all I want to say. Lori Dillon: I live on Sequoia Court and I just want to say that I'm hoping that there are no outside parties and hoping that everyone stays inside. The meetings can stay inside. It's the parties. There's usually going to be alcohol involved and you know, bars, restaurants, it's always escalated with alcohol and that's all I have to say. Thanks. Jeff Renholts: Good evening Commissioners. My name is Jeff Renholts. I live on Astor Court and as a point of reference my dining room looks out on the 50 yard line of Foothill High School. I do understand noise. I invite you to the annual Foothill and Amador Valley football games and I'll leave it at that. I just want to say the Board of Directors has been engaged in negotiations regarding the sale of the building and we have been in contact with the City trying to reach some sort of an agreement here. We sought to postpone this hearing one month to July 27th just so we would be prepared to review all items in the agenda packet. The Millers have been granted numerous and extended postponements. This hearing, as you heard, was supposed to be taken in January of 2015 and we're just seeking a one month delay to prepare for allegations EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 22, 2016 Page 17 of 52
