Request Monte Sereno City Council to approve the Sub-division proposal of 18081 LG saratog Rd

I have worked more than 2+ Years to sub-divide the land which was left behind after the fire destroyed the house on the property. This area of Monte Sereno is R1-8 zone , that means most of the lots in this zone are with lots of approximately 8000 Sq feet lots. Even though this 1 Acre of land could have been sub-divided into 4 lots ,I have proposed that this be divided into three lots with 30' setbacks for all the adjacent neighbors. Even though some of my adjacent neighbors have 2 story houses we are only proposing to build Single Story Homes with only 9' ceilings and one of the homes would even be flat roof to minimize the heigh further. We had to fly a plane to Topo the entire hill, We had to take care of nesting birds ( environmental reports), Acoustic Reports , Traffic Reports , View Simulation to demonstrate how these houses would look in 5-10 years .To minimize the height of of these houses and Grading we had to propose 100 year flood retention systems in these houses and on top of that Run a pipe under Hwy-9 to drain water. In simple words we had to go through an extremely lengthy process which was financially straining as well.

In most cities sub-division of your own land would be an "AS-OF right" if it already conform to Zoning and General Plan but but in Monte Sereno this needs to be voted by City Council. The reason our state and Communities are in such shortage of housing is that because such small Projects ( 3-4 houses ) are not undertaken by big developers who have all the resources ( Land Consultants, multiple Attorneys on board ) to make their points and Most small developers or homeowners like myself give up on the Project by the shear intensity of research . Then there are neighbors who would oppose no matter what you would propose and inversely condemn the land. The shear magnitude of getting something done is immense and is like moving a mountain.
One of the neighbors have started a petition to oppose this Project and has started collecting signatures to be delivered to City Council . In response to that I request you to sign and support this Project. Since I don't live in Monte Sereo and neither do I have friends in Monte Sereno so that I can collect signatures via mere relationships therefore I'm relying purely on explaining the merits of this Project and my Good intentions. I'm willing to come personally to any one who cares to support/oppose but I ask for your compassion to at-least hear my side of story before you take your position either way.

In nutshell : Preventing from subdividing is essentially theft, and lessens the value of everyone's else's property because it sets the precedent that you cannot use your own property in the way that the law allows it . God forbids something would have to happen to your property in Monte Sereno then the same would happen and it would be stuck in years of Grid Lock. Therefore , Please support my petition .
