ATTACHMENT 4 July 5, 2017 SUPPLEMENTAL 6 ;iATERDAL Provided to the Planning Commission City of Pleasanton Planning Commission After Distribution of Packet Aft: Eric Luchini ' LN J a P.O. Box 520 Date Distributed:� � L,4_L41‘_ng Pleasanton, CA 94566 Subject: P17-0372; Location: 3552 Yellowstone Court;Appellants: David and Sue Robles Dear Eric Luchini, We are in receipt of the Planning Commission Staff Report for the hearing scheduled for July 12, 2017. We appreciate the staff recommendations and would like to ensure the staff has all accurate information available before making any final decisions. If you are able to share this report prior to the hearing for their review, it would be greatly appreciated. PRIVACY CONCERNS The appellants cite their main justification to be allowed to move forward with north facing windows as: "[The Johnson's]have a view from a second story window into[the Roble's]yard and downstairs building structure". This is flawed reasoning, not at all a justification, and has no bearing on our concerns. We added our second story addition according to all legal processes, at which time the appellants had an opportunity to request a hearing regarding their own privacy concerns. They chose not to pursue any such process. Although irrelevant, we will address their aforementioned claim to inform. We do not have site-lines into their backyard and downstairs building structure from our south facing window. We have one window on the south side of our second story which is a frosted bathroom window. For our own privacy protection, the window either remains closed, or,when necessary for cooling and ventilation, is opened only from the top. When open, a portion of the top of the appellants' roof is viewable(see Figure 1). However, even if the window is opened from the bottom, the site-lines are of the side of the appellants' garage, not their yard or into their living space (see Figure 2). In fact, further examination of the site-line from this bathroom window shows that the appellants' expansion would allow for them to have a site-line into this bathroom when our window is open, bringing up further concerns for us(see Figure 4). lof 13
