LETTER OF OBJECTION
Dear Sir or Madam:
This is a Letter of Objection submitted in re the above-referenced Design Review case.
On three prior occasions, this applicant asked me for a Neighbor Input Letter relating to his project.
Each time I listed my objections and reasons. At no time did this applicant address the issues of my concerns and objections. He did not even so much as to communicate with me concerning my objections.
In my prior letters of objections I did clearly state my concerns and I hereby again refer to them and incorporate same herein as my current and continuing objections.
Thanks for your attention.
Sincerely,
kons
Kenneth Li

After reviewing the plans of the proposed changes (circle applicable response):
I object to the project.
• I do not object to the project.
On two prior occasions, this applicant asked me for a Neighbor Input Letter.
Twice I listed my objects and reasons. Twice the applicant purported to have revised his plans of proposed changes. Neither time did these changes address the issues of my concerns and objections. It appears to me that this applicant has no desire to heed my concers.
Additionally, during a prior design review committee hearing on January 20 of this year, this applicant stated in public that he had abandoned the plans to add a third car space to his garage in the back which structure is less than 10 feet from my window. This has not shown up on any subsequent revisions of his plans either.
I do not see good faith in his effort to address my concerns and I do question the veracity of such statements uttered in that prior hearing. My objection to the proposed changes is continuing. Please refer to the two prior input letters copies of which are attached Date

Addendum to that Design Review Neighborhood Input Letter dated 5/212021 submitted by Kenneth Li, owner of 1410 Wilson Avenue, San Marino. C FIV 17202
I object to the project.
Comments:
My feedback to the April 2021 revised construction plans are as follows:
I welcome the elimination of the garage enlargement from the original plans. Seriously, the added noise, emission and vibration caused by an additional vehicle utilizing that very crowded area between the main house and the garage structure would have caused severe reduction in quality and quiet enjoyment of my property.
As for the remaining plans to place new extension of structures in the rear of the main house continues to deeply concern me. I specifically object to the proposed addition of • a 319 SF covered patio on the SE corner of the subject house.
This extension will cause a 40% increase to the measured length of the property perimeter on that side of the house. Such patio addition will obliterate the view out of one of the windows of my property on that side.
More importantly, this increase of bulk to the house with the proposed covered patio addition will lead to additional crowdedness in that area between the rear of the subject house and the garage. Presently, I am already suffering frequent unpleasant experience of automobiles coming in and out of that garage which is a mere 10 feet from that side of my residence which also spots five windows and one side door of our house. Each day and night, I already have to endure noise, emission and vibration of vehicles which clearly do not have enough space to easily maneuver within that very crowded area between the structures. Any addition or extension to this part of the main house will increase the crowdedness and further aggravate the already bad situation with noise, emissions and vibration there.
Additionally, the construction of the 319 SF covered patio will increase bulk to this part of the subject house which will encroach upon my existing access to sunlight, daylight, air and view.
I also object to the replacement of any fence taller than what is already existing between my residence and the subject house. A taller fence will only worsen the encroachments mentioned above.
In conclusion, Mr. Goei's revised plan does not alleviate my concerns about increased crowding, increased noise and encroaching to my existing access to air light and view.
As the subject property already has a covered patio, I would ask Mr. Goei to consider a plan on making better use of that existing amenity instead of resorting to building an addition for it.
