Re: Reed Residence (1113 Kings Road) Variance Application – Agenda Item 4, 5/23/2019
Dear Chair Zak and Members of the Planning Commission:
The Reed residence design is compatible with the surrounding community and has my support for
a height variance due to the unique and large gully on the property. I have reviewed the plans and
the detailed explanations and conclusions within staff report and which clearly notes the variance
in question to be for a very modest area. I further support the variance because the over-height
features will not be visible from Kings Road or from the residences across the street as those
portions of the Reed residence would be located behind the height-compliant portions of the home.
In my opinion, this is a reasonable request for what is an extremely slight variance to accommodate
a uniquely burdened site and I urge the Planning Commission to approve the variance on May 23,
2019.
Sincerely,
Giovanni Cordoves
Senior Vice President, Acquisitions & Co-Director, Asset Management
