Pacific Standard Time Subj: Quality of Llfe for residents when a project is allowed to continue :...... Mr Gary Waldeck, Mr Rich Larsen, Good Morning Gentlemen, I am sorry to hear that Ms Ginger Summit and Jean Mordo are no longer on the Council. I don't know if either of you remember this issue of this Pan Realty construction project right next to where my wife and I live for 24 years. We had no grandkids when this project started, now we have 8. Last meeting I heard one of you speak about the peaceful quality of life of Los Altos Hills living. And a joke about crazy developers". Well, this project right next to our house is an example, a project that has impacted our lives for at least 13 years continuously It is supposed to be approved again for a "bunker' for today Thursday.. First one was denied after a stressful time between my wife and I and the whole group of developers/ experts, and so on and so on. Even some hostile action from one of the consultants at the town hall. Well it looks like for the last 23 years of our living in the home next to this property, we need to add maybe a couple more years to this grand spectacle literally inches from our fence/property line. hope I can suggest a stoppage or compassionate process for the Council to see this as an extraordinary quality of life issue due to the amount of time this company takes to play with a project ( Pan Realty) is the applicant. The owner has never lived there. I wish he did so he can see what dust and noise it brings not only downwind, but also the "megaphone characteristic of the driveway on the property line that is uphill continually, belaboring the 80,000 Ib tractor trailers that used to use it to get to the construction site from Magdalena. Trust me no one"should be subjected to this. Not anyone else. I would not wish it even to the property owner. The trouble is my wife had been sick at home for two days so I have not been able to even get to seethe plans as Debbie Pedro suggested. She says they comply to all the requirements so there is no way to stop them. I asked her to consider the time we have hed to be subjected to the project "toy" of the neighbor, since we are the downwind property, lower than the construcion site. Two family dogs have been lost during this project. Vanished completely. The people who come and go are from everywhere. At one NIGHT a few years ago a police helicopter hovered for 20 minutes or more with search lights when a car thief from San Jose ran from police to this construction site since he knew it was there.!! Sincerely, Ralph Colet 11630 Jessica Lane Los Altos Hills cel ( 650) 823-7117 PS If if anyone has the time, I would like to make suggestions and inform the Town on points that have been and are overlooked by the existing rules which leave the well-equipped developer teams to exploit or slip by with these projects. Example the clean air rules being ignored, the noise, the dust, the control of gawkers and entourages of contractors who "TOUR" the site during weekends and daily.hours when the owners of the property ( my wife and I ) and some grandkids, may be loitering our premises to pick lemons along their site. It is scary. We don't let them go out of the house any more like our kids used to. They have to be restricted indoors or escorted along our fully fence property.

Mr Pan. Believe me we are grateful. Well it looks like the nightmare is about to start again after approx 13 years of no peace living through a mini rock quarry, they are. going to be granted a permit to build, a bunker tomorrow February 7 Thursday. I propose that there be some ordinance or rule that limits the inconvenience to a neighbor for any construction project. In other words this project should have not been allowed to coritinae for more than two - or three years. Not 13 years of dust, trucks, gawking by the manyy many contractors guests of .contractors,. totaLstrangers_for_over_13 years. appreciate any support on my proposal to "limits to the interference to peaceful existence of a resident. The application shows" Pan Realty" to me this sounds like a business, not a resident Is this allowed? Can a business operate in a residential neighborhood?
