<br />4. Lou & Diane Zevanove, 771 Mirador Court, are in support of the project. They built and have <br />resided at their two-story home for the last 44 years. They understand the impact of the new, but <br />similar, addition to the area. They have reviewed the plans and asked questions at the Planning <br />Department. They find the addition to be conforming and state that the view blocking will be only <br />slightly greater than their home. They believe the addition will provide progression for <br />neighborhood values and improve aesthetics. They would like to note that after they built their <br />home, they were surprised that the lots to the rear, East Angela, were graded higher than expected. <br />Although their privacy was compromised because of this, the view over their roof was improved for <br />the homes on East Angela. <br /> <br />5. Joseph & Eleanor Keller, 786 Mirador Court, are in support of the project. They have discussed the <br />Knights' objectives and reviewed the drawings with them. They feel it would be an excellent <br />addition to the neighborhood and feel that the fa~ade is attractive. They state that the enlarged space <br />makes it more inviting and the larger space will be attractive for the Knights as well as future <br />owners. The Kellers' are owners of one of the three other two-story homes on Mirador Court. They <br />do not believe that adding a fourth is detrimental and feel it is refreshing to see that the project <br />brings a variety of architectural designs to the neighborhood. The Kellers' stated that Mirador Court <br />has seen many families and it is refreshing to see younger children continue to live on the Court. <br />Seeing younger children and finding a two-story home was a large attraction for them when they <br />sold their single-story house at 581 Bonita in 1975 to buy their current residence. After talking with <br />staff, they realize that the Knights are not seeking any variances and they have accommodated <br />objections from others. <br /> <br />6. Barry & Robin DeMartini, 763 Mirador Court, are in support of the project. They do not have any <br />problem with the Knights' proposal of a second-story. They have been informed of the Knights' <br />plans and of the modifications to please the neighbors. They feel the plans are fair and more than <br />accommodating. <br /> <br />Opposed to the Proiect <br /> <br />The four neighboring property owners listed below, three of which reside to the rear and one to the side <br />(east) of the subject property, have expressed opposition to the project stating that the second-story <br />addition would: <br /> <br />. Obstruct and diminish their view <br />. Be an eye-sore <br />. Devalue the future property values of their homes <br />. Reduce their privacy <br />. Be incompatible with the neighborhood design <br />. Restrict daily sunlight <br />. Change the "complexion" of surrounding homes <br />· Set a precedent and create consequences in the neighborhood <br />· If the Knights need a larger home then perhaps they should move <br /> <br />1. Martha Wensel, 787 Mirador Court, is no longer in support of the project. Ms. Wensel is the <br />adjacent neighbor to the east of the subject property and feels that the project will negatively affect <br /> <br />PAP-93, AppealofPADR-1472 <br /> <br />Planning Commission <br /> <br />Page 8 of 15 <br />
