Dear Planning Commissioners,
Please see the email below from Chris Schaepe, 24150 Hillview Road. His previous email was
in the packet as Attachment #7 of Item 3.1 for tomorrow night's meeting. Mr. Schaepe
verbally requested that this email supersede his previous comments. Please let me know if
you have any questions. Thank you.

Subject: Dawnridge house construction
Brian - per our conversation today, I have three comments on the proposed Dawnridge
construction (I cannot attend the hearing tonight as both my wife and I have other
schedule conflicts):
1) I am retracting my prior request for heavy screening in their back yard that I made in
the July 28 email below. I am retracting this request as I would like to have them NOT
plant trees that could grow to a height that will block the sun from hitting.my mature oak
trees in my back yard (see photo attached) and therefore weaken/damage these irreplaceable
mature oaks trees.
2) Since their house (particularly the 2nd story) will be visible from my house, I would
like to see that they are limited to the 25 foot height restriction stated in the letter I
received from the planning commission.
3) Given point 2 above, I would like to request that their roof is of an earthy medium to
dark color (not black and not a light color) that will blend in to the background (low
reflectivity index) and not draw attention to the eye as viewed from my property (24150
Hillview Road - LAH). This request also applies to the siding and siding color used on
the house, particularly on the sides in their back yard that I can see (natural non glossy
wood color/tone would be terrific or as close to that as possible).
Pls email me if you have questions. Thank you.

Debbie - I have attached a photo from right outside my kitchen eating area looking at our
guest house where you can see the orange polls just beyond. It will be much worse in
winter when the oak trees drop their leaves. We request heavy screening w dense redwood
type trees that grow thick and tall and keep their leaves in winter. The view issue is w
their 2nd floor as we can't likely see their first floor (can't see the existing structure
from our house). Our address is 24150 Hillview Road
- LAH. Pls email me if questions.

Subject: 24175 Dawnridge Drive
Dear Mr. Froelich:
Thank you very much for providing the information for our review.
We are the residents of 24151 Dawnridge Drive, the one directly next to the new construction site. We
are currently abroad and not able to attend the hearing.
Our concern is the privacy of our backyard pool /outdoor dining area which is right next to 24175
Dawnridge. The privacy in this area is very important to us. We are currently not able to see the existing
house. With the second story to be built next to our property, our view could change.
We would like to request heavy screen trees that grow thick and tall and have leaves in the winter
between our houses. The trees have to be able to block the second story of the house from our house.
9
We would also like to request the second story of the new house does not have windows directly facing
our pool/out door eating area. So we do not need to give up our privacy.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Cathy and Don Williams
