Dear Madam,
Sub: - Site Development Permit for 26462 Purissima Road, File 166-07-ZD-SD-GD.
With regards to the proposed development, we would like the City&the developer to
take the following points into consideration.
1. Privacy:
- Keep the current trees and bushes to ensure the privacy of our house.
- Plant tall trees to cover the areas not covered already along the perimeter. Request to
plant these trees ahead of starting major construction closer to our house.
2. Drainage:
- Take into account the water flow from La Polama via our house to your property in
your flow/absorption calculations.
- Water flows from this property to our property at the west side corner. This flow has
to be directed towards their drainage system
3. Compound wall:
- If the proposed compound wall requires us to alter any of the existing
driveway/drainage flow/removal of plants or trees etc, adequate time needs to be
given for the review/comment on the proposal as well as adequate time for making
such modifications.
4. Location& Height:
The current location of the building is acceptable as long as
a) Location: Privacy and drainage aspects mentioned above, are taken care.
b)Height of the building at the current location: The proposed building is a two floor
house. Currently, our house is a single floor house. So,this different in elevation might
give the owners access to views over our property. However, we have considerations to
build two floors in the future. Hence, the owner needs to mutually agree not to object to
any future development in our property as far as the height and view are concerned,
provided it complies with the City's height requirements.
In previous FAST TRACK hearing, there was discussions about an alternative of moving
the building laterally, behind our house. If there is a consideration of this alternative, such
a move will bring a 27 ft building at 5 ft relative height from our house point of view,
resulting in 31 ft. obstruction. Our house is at 381 ft from sea level while proposed
building will sit at 385ft. This means
- Our privacy will be severely impacted as the proposed building is a two storey
building and it is very close to our property. It will be impossible to hide such a tall
building with bushes when the building is close to our property line.
- This tall building will obstruct the natural hill views that are available today at our
backyard.
Hence, we strongly object to this alternative and suggest other alternatives be considered.
Views from our livin room the alternative discussed will im act the view

In summary,building could be constructed at the current location as long as the issues
mentioned in section 1 through 4 are addressed.
Thanking You,
