Mr. Maravilla
As the owner of 922 San Leandro Avenue, I am in full support of this development.
As this area is in need of opportunities for middle income families and families looking to downsize this project is greatly needed and should benefit the entire community.
As the City is expanding and developing the Parks and Recreation facilities of the area this project meets the needs of the people using the proposed increase in park facilities in
the City of Mountain View.
As you know, the employees of the companies working across the freeway from this project
could greatly use the type of housing proposed by the Arbor Village Project.
Which this type of housing is sadly lacking in this area.
I look forward to hearing from the Committee that they are in full support of the Arbor Village project moving forward to approval and construction.
Thank you,
Edith G Hugo

Re: Application No. PL-6773 – 922–950 San Leandro Avenue Commissioners,
My name is Jon Garliepp Jr., and I am writing in support of the proposed project at 922–950 San Leandro Avenue.
My grandparents immigrated from Germany in the 1920s and purchased the property at 944 and 950 San Leandro Avenue, which are two addresses on the same parcel and comprise approximately half of the proposed development site. My grandfather personally built both of the existing homes. Although he passed away before I was born, the houses he built became an important part of our family’s history.
As a child, I spent many days there playing in the yard with my brothers. I also sat around the kitchen table with my brothers, my mother, and my grandmother, eating large sandwiches on pumpernickel bread. Those are some of my earliest and fondest memories.
My grandmother maintained a garden on the property for many years and used the land to help provide for the family — a simple but powerful example of care, hard work, and stewardship.
Because of that connection, I have considered this project carefully. While change on land with such history is not easy, I believe this development represents a thoughtful and appropriate evolution of the site.
The transition from General Industrial to Medium-Density Residential aligns with the surrounding neighborhood and creates continuity with nearby housing. The placement of height away from existing homes shows consideration for adjacent residents. In addition, the proximity of the new city park directly behind the property further supports residential use in this location.
I believe this project reflects the continued growth of Mountain View while honoring the spirit of those who invested in it before us. For these reasons, I respectfully support approval of Application No. PL-6773.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jon Garliepp Jr.
