> Dear Nicole,
> Thank you for meeting with me today and reviewing the proposed
> landscape plan for the Goese property. I am writing this letter to
> inform you of some proposed changes to the current plan which I would
> like the planning commission to consider at the meeting on Thursday,
> January 17. Here are the details:
> 1. My property lies south of the Goese property on 13060 Alta Lane
> North, Los Altos Hills. We are about 1/2mile away across a valley and
> in full view of the south side of the property and the large solar
> panel array (see figure_1_screening (before); attached). This view had
> previously been of open landscape and a small, single level ranch
> house.
> 2. While I see that the owners have planted some bushes to partially
> screen the panels. Viewed from our house, this screening has little
> effect. I thus propose that the landscaping incorporate a row of
> (mature) trees, planted below and to the side of the panels, with
> sufficient height to completely screen the panels from our view. I
> believe, with correct placement, this would not restrict the sunlight
> to the panels. (see figure_1_screening (after)).
>
> 3. 1' noticed, today, that a fence is being constructed further down
> the hill across the back of the property. (see figure-2—Fence,
> attached). This fence is also in full view from our house. I believe
> that this is an "open" fence and request that a hedge row be planted
> along the fence to (partially) screen it from view.
> For your reference I have also attached a photograph of the view from
> our house prior to this construction. (see Figure_3_Before)
>
> Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
> Sincerely,
> Mike Ramsay
