Reference: Development of Lands of Nicholson, Los Altos Hills
Dear Planning Commission Members,
We are seriously concerned about the impact that development of the Lands of Nicholson
will have on our privacy and on our views and we ask that you give consideration to our
comments. These comments refer to the land noted as Parcel A on the south side of the
Nicholson property, which adjoins our property with a common East to West border.
We understand that no specific architectural plans have yet been submitted for the
construction of homes on the Nicholson property. A "conceptual footprint" for a 6763
sq. ft. home on Parcel A is shown on the development drawings. This proposal could
result in a multi -storied home which, because of its height and location, would block our
views of the valley and the mountains of the East Bay. It could also allow its residents to
see into our home which has extensive use of glass. We would consider this a violation
of our rights.
Among various possibilities for development of Parcel A, we suggest a single storied
home, sited so that its West side includes only the garage and any other buildings that
would not have windows looking onto our property. This could minimize the loss of our
views of the valley and mountains and also maintain our privacy. Lowering the level of
the building site when-reriioving fill materials (suggested in Cotton, Shires & Associates,
Inc. Geotechnical Peer Review, pg. 3, Staff Report to the Planning Commission) would
also mitigate our concerns.
We wish to have it noted, in all records pertaining to the development of this property,
that we request that only plans for a single story structure which has no windows looking
directly into our home and which has a lowered building site, be recognized by the
Planning Commission, the Los Altos Hill Council and other relevant commissions.
Thank you,
rely,
