Dear Members of the Menlo Park City Council,
I am writing in support of the appeal by residents in the 700 block of Gilbert regarding the permit to construct a new 2-story
house on the substandard lot at 752 Gilbert.
I understand that, in addition to being on a substandard lot, the scale of the proposed new house is not compatible with the
neighborhood, being almost twice the height of most houses on that block, which would create a sense of bulk and disharmony in an
otherwise pleasant neighborhood.
I urge you to seriously consider the input from concerned neighbors, and reject the Planning Commission’s decision on this matter,
and require a maximum height for the new building that is more harmonious with the surroundings.
Sincerely,
Anne K. Kanerva377 Santa Margarita Ave.Menlo Park CA 94025
