Dear Sirs:
During recent conversations with John Post a resident on our street I became aware that
the Planning Department has some reservations about granting requests for a variance to
extend the existing footprint of the house into setbacks. This has been allowed on just
about every home on our street. As a resident of Rolling Hills for 13 years I fully support
the maintaining of standards as have been set by codes and restrictions. However it would
seem arbitrary to prevent the Post residence from benefiting from what has been
uniformly allowed throughout our street. I fully support efforts at the Post residence to
enhance the value of homes on our street by allowing them to update, modernize and
expand their home.
Sincerely,

Dear Rolling Hills Planning Commission:
This letter is concerning the proposed project at the Post residence at 17
Middleridge Lane.
We have had an opportunity to review the proposed plans in detail. After this
review, we are strongly in favor of this plan, and believe that it will have a positive
impact on our neighborhood and our property.
We urge the members of the Rolling Hills Planning Commission to approve the
original plans as submitted.

Today my wife and I met with the architect to go over the plans for additions to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. John Post, our next door neighbors, at 17 N. Middleridge Lane.
As long as the property lines between our two properties are marked clearly and the new
addition of the Post home does not encroach on the easement, we have no objection to the
present plans nor to the original plans.
The side of our house opposite the Post's addition consists of bathrooms and bedrooms
where the view is not a significant matter, and we presume the same can be said for them
and their addition of bedrooms.
We welcome the addition to their house so as to meet the needs of their growing family.
