While we don't object to the property being developed, we do agree with the City Planning Department findings. They have identified signficant project issues i.e. "This projects overall design should be redsigned to be more in harmony with the existing neighborhood. Alternate designs should be examined further. " We have lived on Worsch Way for twenty five years.

The right solution should be extend Portada St. and create cold sac inside the new development. It will resolve parking, garbage collection and emergency entry problems for the new development. Worsch Way small narrow street has no way to accommodate parking and traffic for new 8 house development. Regarding grading we as a neighbor can suffer for 3 month during the grading instead of suffering for years with parking, traffic and excess noise in our neighborhood I agree with Andrea, regarding parking problem.

In order for the Worsch development to meet these guidelines it must maintain and perpetuate the terraced hillside lot design of the surrounding neighborhood. In other words, the homes built on the site should each have driveway access to one of the three city streets that surround the site and maximum height of each of these homes should not exceed 35' from the level of the city street that each home has driveway access to. That's not NIMBYism, that's just conforming to local development standards and the Carmel Valley Precise Plan.

It is even more interesting that he is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is not a member of our community and may never have even visited Carmel Valley. Perhaps Mr. Levitan's comment should have included the following tag line, "This message paid for by the developer of this property and the developer approves of this message."

Sorry, but if the neighbors did not wish the property to be developed then they should have purchased it. "NIMBYism" no matter how reasonable the development proposal may be?
