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