Shoni Johnson, neighbor, said her concerns were detailed in the letter she provided to <br /> the Commission and that she wanted to reiterate how the concerns were not about <br /> privacy but rather the negative impact the disrespectful and alleged illegal activities <br /> occurring at the residence were having on the neighborhood and community. <br /> Robert Wittig, neighbor of 26 years, echoed Ms. Johnson's comments. He added that to <br /> his knowledge no more than 10 — 20 homes in the Valley Trails neighborhood have <br /> more than five bedrooms and typically these do have ample parking or are situated on a <br /> lot that can accommodate the vehicles, not in a court like the subject property. Mr. Wittig <br /> commented on concerning, unsavory activities occurring at the subject property as <br /> recently as the night before the meeting. Mr. Wittig concluded, saying the only ask of <br /> the Robles is to redesign the layout to exclude the north facing window. <br /> Linda Farmer, neighbor of 10 years, agreed with Ms. Johnson and Mr. Wittig's <br /> comments, describing the concerning activities she had observed at the subject <br /> property as well. She asked the Commission to consider the impacts the addition would <br /> have on traffic, parking, number of residents, and potential for increased illegal activity. <br /> Sarah, a Valley Trails resident, reiterated the concerns mentioned by other neighbors <br /> including the safety issues, practical issues, parking, etc. <br /> Ed Broome, a Valley Trails resident, said that although Pleasanton doesn't set a <br /> maximum number of bedrooms to define a single-family residence, there is a PMC <br /> section that sets a six-bedroom threshold to define a dwelling for long-term care and <br /> transitional housing. He explained how that definition should be taken into consideration <br /> when assessing the parking requirement for the subject property. Mr. Broome remarked <br /> how the design of the front façade of the residence is unlike any other home in the <br /> development. He noted the small off-center window on the front of the home and <br /> provided pictures of other homes in Valley Trails showing how two large centered <br /> windows is most common. Mr. Broome asked if a surveyed plan had been provided to <br /> ensure the floor area ratio (FAR) did not exceed the 40 percent maximum. Lastly, he <br /> referenced section 18.32.010 of the PMC and the concerns raised by previous speaker <br /> regarding health and safety. <br /> Aaron Cooper, a Valley Trails resident, expressed his experience as a victim of property <br /> theft crime committed by a resident of the subject property. He implored the <br /> Commission to address the health and safety concerns and to deny the proposed <br /> addition. He elaborated on the crime statistics and how the proposed addition would <br /> allow more tenants which presumably would increase crime rates. <br /> Glen Johnson, neighbor, stated he owns the window for which Ms. Robles mentioned in <br /> her comments, and that just because he has a window does not mean she is entitled to <br /> a window. Mr. Johnson clarified how development review is not equal but atypical and <br /> that each application is subject to separate review. He also reiterated the privacy <br /> concerns addressed at the Zoning Administrator hearing. <br /> Eric Wedeking, neighbor, agreed with the comments mentioned by the previous <br /> speakers. He added a concern regarding the intent of the addition and proposed the <br /> idea that the applicant was increasing the number of bedrooms in order to create a <br /> EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, July 12, 2017 Page 3 of 6 <br />
