Lighting at 2207 Martin Avenue, Pleasanton <br />Michelle Kloos <br />Wed 4/17/2024 4:50 PM <br />To: Diego Mora <DMora@cityofpleasantonca.gov> <br />  *** [EXTERNAL] This message comes from an external organization.

We have lived at <br />this address since 1996. I have been a Pleasanton resident since 1975. <br />I am contacting you regarding the request to install 15’ lights at the subject address. This backyard <br />backs up to a wood fence that runs along Dennis Drive. This is the neighborhood our family resides. <br />Although we live on Picard Avenue, our home is 2 houses and a narrow street distance away from the <br />subject’s tennis court. <br />We appreciate and encourage outdoor exercise and play. We, too, have an outside sport court. We <br />went through proper channels for approval of our 2 10’ lights. At the city’s suggestion, we contacted <br />all adjacent neighbors for their approval. They all approved in writing. We made sure to make our <br />lighting directed in a downward plane, as required by the City. <br />The light poles at this Martin Avenue residence will very likely affect the Bortle Scale and restful sleep <br />of the homes that are alongside or on Dennis Drive. Although these homes adjacent Dennis Drive <br />and/or on Dennis Drive are in a different neighborhood than the subject address, the size and scope <br />of the requested lighting will highly affect these homes, and our home (but in a lesser amount). <br />15’ light poles are 50% taller than the 2 light poles at our home. 6 15’ light poles in a suburban <br />neighborhood will be a significant disturbance to our neighbors, and even our home.  <br />It is my experience that lighted public tennis courts are available for night use. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. <br />Michelle and Mike Kloos <br />Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail for iPhone <br />4/22/24, 2 02 PM Mail Diego Mora Outlook <br />https //outlook office365 com/mail/AQMkADU4YzE1MDI1LWJjYjEtNGUwNi04MGM0LWRmNjhlM2QzYmMzYwAuAAAD2BhmSoQUk0682yYoSO8IiA 1/1
