"The City Council of the City of Burlingame,
Burlingame, California.
Gentlemen:
"I, Robert G. Herda, presently own and occupy, and for the pasttwenty-six
years have -owned and occupied, the dwelling house property located at
1268 Balboa Avenue, in the -City of Burlingame.
"The properly on the next street easterly, namely, El Camino Real, and
adjoining the easterly end of my lot, is occupied by an apartment house.
In the rear portion of this property there is a garage structure located
about 20 inches easterly from my easterly lot line.
"Am informed that the owner of aforementioned apartment house property
proposes to erect above the said garage structure, and on land contiguous
thereto, an. additional apartment house consisting of two units. The
construction and occupancy of this additional apartment house so -close
to the rear of my land will obviously be disadvantageous to my property
holding, deprive my family and me of the privacy we have enjoyed for
years past, and I can perceive in many ways lead to annoyance of ourselves
and others, to the extent that it might be classed as a nuisance.
"I, therefore, respectfully submit to the Council my opposition to and a
vigorous protest against the erection of the additional apartment house
on the E1 Camino Real property above mentioned, and. petition the Council
that permit for it4 construction be not granted. Several of my neighbors,
whose names and addresses are below subscribed and who are also interested
in the continued comfort of their homes, object to erection of the said
additional apartment house, and join me in this petition. Yours truly,
(signed) Robert G. Herda.n
