I know that at some point the plan <br />for the Lester property will raise its head again; however, I thought I'd try to make myself heard at this stage, during <br />this particular and important process. I appreciate the opportunity. <br /> <br />Obviously, it is a proposed hillside development, which everyone knows and the City report made abundantly clear, <br />will require not only annexing land currently outside Pleasanton, but significant grading and shaving of the hillsides. <br />It will destroy one of the very view remaining truly beautiful viewpoints in our City, where many people -- and not just <br />the adjoining longtime homeowners -- visit and come to look at the lovely, unspoiled hillsides. The proposed <br />development will be a terrible step towards the "Dublinizing" of Pleasanton, despite the clearly and often stated <br />desires of Pleasanton's residents to leave the hills alone, simply to add more multi-million dollar homes and <br />appease developers. <br /> <br />If this project must proceed to further discussion in order to satisfy developers, please, please, please keep in mind <br />that there is no additional water available in Pleasanton, the hillsides really should be protected, and the number of <br />houses allowed, if any, must be reduced to only those that do not require grading and destroying the hillsides <br />themselves as well as the views so valuable to the rest of us! The residents of Pleasanton have made it clear many <br />times, leave the hillsides alone. Please! <br /> <br />Wishing you all stay safe and well, <br />Andrew Gelb <br /> <br />Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. <br /> <br /> <br />  <br />Click here to report this email as spam.
