The Campbell Planning Commission approved the construction of a new home in the San Tomas Area Neighborhood. The project is the demolition of a home built in the 1940s and building a two story, 4000 sq ft Mediterranean style house. This is a sensitive subject for me. It's true I do not live in this neighborhood, but it sounds like a similar situation I witnessed in Cupertino.
I was raised in tract home in the Garden Gate area of Cupertino. My parents still reside there. Over the past 10 to 15 years, the City allowed homeowners to build "monster houses" in my parent's neighborhood. The properties have almost no yards, it's fence to fence structure. Frankly the houses are nice, but the neighborhood looks bizarre. As you drive down the street you have such a mixture of housing structures. The city placed a moratorium on the building of monster houses several years ago. I believe it's still in place today. I hope we don't fall victim of this same type of inconsistencies.
Just an opinion...
