In the family's welcome letter informing us of their plan for building a new home, they identify the views available from their property as one of the attractions. We would like to acknowledge that for us too, the views from our house are definitely one of the highpoints of this location. Hoer 47 years in our home, we recognize the importance of protecting our views. Being able to see the San Francisco Bay and it's surrounds, have provided years of solace and pleasure for all our family. Not only is this important for sustaining our quality of life, but also for maintaining the maximum potential for marketing our property should, at some future date, we decide to put it on the market. After reviewing the plans and mock up for the new house to be built, our primary concern is related to landscaping -both current and future. On the lot at 14271 Miranda, current view blocking landscaping has not been maintained and has grown to a height that is inhibiting longstanding views from our house (please see attached -picture of six foot man and the bush area). We have not always understood how to be heard with respect to our neighbors going through the permit process. Consequently when the long-term owners of the surrounding properties, who moved in around the time we did, sold and moved, we did not know to attend or otherwise be present at the Planning Commission meetings regarding maintaining low six foot height of landscaping as the previous owners always had. We will be interested in being partners in the conversation about any upcoming new landscaping for the Labe property with respect to potential negative impact on our view. In addition, we hope the new owners will appreciate our desire to maintain the view they have been attracted by, and help us by reducing and maintaining the current landscaping at a lower height (for example the bushes in picture maintained at close to 6 foot) . We really appreciate the transparent notification of this upcoming Labe house building, we also appreciate the help of the planning department in reading this letter at the Planning Commission meeting addressing our concerns.
