Their window site-line will look directly into our shower if window is open.) We would like to urge you to review the recorded transcript of the initial hearing on May 25, 2017. Mr. Robles clearly stated during this hearing that he cannot control who resides in his own home, citing multiple friends of a current renter who come in and out of the house,and further stating that various individuals who have been arrested in the home were staying at the residence as guests of their youngest son. There is also no guarantee that their youngest son,of whom is the father of some of the grandchildren the appellants are raising, will not be back to reside and bring additional `temporary"residents into the home.

Please note, their request for "natural ventilation"speaks to the fact that they intend to have their windows open, thus making frosted 5 of 13
