ATTACHMENT 6 <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />----Original Message----- <br />From: webmasterC~ci.pleasanton.ca.us <br />[mailto:webmaster~ci.pleasanton.ca.us] <br />Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 5:16 PM <br />To: Mary Lu Campbell <br />Subject: [PLSWEB] Granny Unit Problem <br />City of Pleasanton Website - Contact Us Online <br />Name: Linda Garbarino <br />Email: lindagarbarino@comcast.net <br />Category: Mayor and City Council <br />Subject: Granny Unit Problem <br />Comment: <br />We are very concerned about a move afoot to break apart <br />single lots that were approved for a "granny" unit into two <br />separate homes! This is seen by us as another way to <br />introduce the multiple homes concept on a single lot. We <br />have codes and GP regulations that prohibit this, yet, this <br />concept will come to you for approval. How can this be <br />approved? This along with the General Plan overlay opens <br />the floodgates for building more homes on smaller lots. <br />This is part of a plan that developers seek to get past you <br />for not only the downtown residential areas but those lots <br />southeast of Main Street. The Overlay plan needs to support <br />the current General Plan of 6500 sq. ft. lots for single <br />family homes. <br />The Planning Dept. is in support of this proposed <br />reduction in lot size, but they are clearly not <br />representing the residents of Pleasanton who do not want to <br />see zero lot line housing. Please do not compromise in any <br />way. We are hoping that your good judgment will prevail in <br />any recommendation you make to the Council. Our <br />neighborhood is keenly interested in protecting our <br />investments and in supporting the current single family lot <br />size requirements in the current General Plan. Retroactive <br />approval to split off granny units as single family homes <br />should not be allowed. <br />Please rethink the impact of these plans as they are <br />presented to you. We will stay in touch with you. Thanks, <br />Linda and George Garbarino <br />
