Raymond Hu, expressed appreciation to Director of Community Development Kim and his staff
for listening and addressing the community's concerns; indicated support for the proposed
amendments to the Municipal Code as it provides an impartial third party making the decision,
which ultimately serves both parties,the home owner submitting the application and the neighbors.
Vidal Pedro,indicated the City has not addressed his concern regarding his neighbor's construction
that has been going on for three years and continues to be a noise nuisance; expressed concern that
homes continue to be built only two feet apart from each other; inquired if the City is going to be
liable for a fire spreading from one home to the next. /
Mayor Ly acknowledged that Mr. Pedro's concerns are warranted'and important, however, this
was not the appropriate time to discuss this matter as it was not relevant to the subject of the public
hearing at hand; advised staff to schedule a meeting with Mr. Pedro to°address his concerns and to
report back to Council. ,

Section 17.14.2 "If no objections are received, no hearinguwill be required and the Community

case is different as it pertains to,costs; ascertained as a homeowner, there would be costs incurred
