SUBJECT: Lands of Askarinam, 27198 Elena Road #203-08-ZP-SDTOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS
We are writing this letter to object the proposed height of the above project We have
been residents of Los Altos Hills since 1988 and have lived at for the
past 12 years. We purchased this house beacuse of the privacy, serenity and unobstructed
views that we have from many of the rooms in our house. This is one of the main reasons
that we chose to live at this house and paid good money to do so.
The proposed project currently creates an eyesore, where previously only trees were seen.
We have attached a picture of the constuctum viewed from our house. From every
window this tall house is seen. If these types of projects continue, it will change the
atmosphere of Los Alms Hills and certainly reduce the housing prices.
We are asking you to protect our rights in keeping the impact of this development to a
minimum and we are asking the Commission to reconsider the proposed height of 27 feet
for this residence and help in keeping Los Altos Hills rural.
We unfortunately are not able to attend the public hearing for this project on Thursday
December 2008 and we are asking you to consider this letter as our objection to the
height of this development. We appreciate your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
The Yazdy Family
