Subject: Paul Lupo Zoning Case #230
Having just read the minutes of May 15th regarding
Lupo's tennis court I am more opposed than ever.. Regretfully
I cannot attend the meeting tonight, but I feel, after looking
at the plans, there will be excessive dirt movement plus
building far too much in the canyon.

Subject: Conditional use permit - Tennis court, Paul Lupo
Regretfully, we must oppose the granting of a conditional
use permit for a tennis court for Paul Lupo, 4 Georgeff Road.
Reasons:
1) Highly visible from properties along Georgeff Road whose
rear yards are along Georgeff Canyon...also from those
properties along Portuguese Bend Road North - rear yards
along Georgeff Trail.
2) Georgeff trail is.a lovely, natural canyon horse tr,ail..
the tennis court would be esthetically and environmentally
-- visably unsightly for riders.
3) Suggestion: planning commissioners review the original
Meyer subdivision. There was protest from adjacent
property owners, because there would be 1) a flag. lot
2) building in the canyon 3) access flag driveway onto
the curve of georgeff Road....4) questionable geology.
At the time of the subdivision, Mrs. Meyer personally
visited all of the concernedproperty owners...including
the Donald Douglas' at 6 Crest Road. East. This property
was important to Meyers because of the number of acres
involved. Unfortunately, Mr. Meyer and Mr. Douglas had
been business associates at one time and Mr. Douglas
signed. Later, he confessed, he regretted that he
signed it, as he went into more detailed study of
subdivisions. I know this is "hearsay" and is no longer
really relevant. The Suens who bought the Douglas
property are currently in Hong Kong..are returning to
London before coming to Rolling Hills in July. `Therefore,
there is no time for them to review the question. Although,
they may have given a power of attorney to an agent???
