28337 Pontevedra Drive addition

Argued the project has more second-story mass than any home in the nearest 100, overlooks his pool, and that approving it sets a dangerous precedent for 'bootleg additions'.

Explained the design was driven by topography, cost, and pool placement; disputed the attic-size claims and noted the commission had already approved a second story on Velez.

Neighbor worried about precedent for 700 Eastview homeowners and divisiveness between streets; said she personally felt the structure's impact at a party and urged serious consideration of the compromise.

Challenged the applicant's list of second-story homes, noting most were additions and only two were RPV-approved; criticized the petition as circulated only to Pontevedra residents.

Urged the commission to honor staff's expertise and final recommendation, saying modifications had addressed privacy and compatibility.

In rebuttal, noted the applicants never planted promised hedges in 16 months and asked the commission to call the project what it is and start over.
