alternate site on the real east side of the subject property as a better location for the ADU. When the applicant as asked if they had considered that site all they had to say was no as they did not want the unit there. This, their dislike opinion of the site location was enough to convince that ZA and Planner to go along with the applicant whereas all the negative effects this west side location is going to have on us has no bearing, does this not seem biased? The alternate location on the east side of the property was shown to be a perfect location from every aspect and angle but it was rejected with no considerations. But even the approval notice still states, incorrectly, that the ADU is approved on the east side of the existing residence. We sincerely hope that the Planning Commissioner and Committee give this appeal a fair consideration and reject the current location in favor of the actual east side of the property. Also, by having us pay $271 to file this appeal is putting undeserved financial burden on us. Thanking You, Niraj & Harsha Gandhi ppen on the East end of the applicant's property, which is the exact opposite as the proposed unit construction is planned on the West side of the property putting it right next to our house. Were these oversights or designed so no one could object and it would pass unnoticed? When I went into see the Planner on Monday 5/28 I pointed out to her that the construction was on the west side and how could she not have noticed the huge mistake to which she had no response. The approval letter still lists the unit being on the east side of the existing house. The planner wasn't even aware that the house next door(our hosue) is a single story house and the new proposed construction would be encroaching in the setback area and be overshadowing and looking right into several bedrooms and bathrooms in our house. It was going to be a total invasion on our privacy. It was very clear that the Planner had done no due diligence in forming her opinion to approve the proposal. The new construction is going to block all sunlight coming into our home and the bedrooms are going to get dark. The big wall that they propose to build is going to be less than 10 feet from our house!We had bought the house and paid the premium price in Pheasant Ridge community because among other reasons, we didn't want houses closely packed, this proposed construction is going to take that away from us. That is going to drastically affect our quality of life as well as property value. An updated design was submitted by the applicant to address some of the privacy issues we had raised. It seems in this design the width of the siding also encroaches a bit more into the setbacks on the side of the house. None of the other homes in our neighborhood have had large siding walls or overhangs like that put up and we are worried it would look out of place. During the design review hearing process it became very clear that no matter what we said or how it affected us, this was going to get approved. During the hearing we suggested an II at its closest point,a larger setback than the standards would require. The proposed addition would be built directly above the existing garage and would maintain the existing building setback. P19-0130 Planning Commission 11 of 15
