Dear City Council,

As an involved resident, I am really concerned about the monstrosity being proposed by the Vallco developer under SB35 plan as well as the Opticos plan. The densities and heights being proposed are astronomical and don't even exist in transit rich neighboring towns with CalTrain and BART access. You know very well that our town does not have any of those and VTA bus is laughing stock of public transit.

We are at this juncture because of the actions of December 2014 City council. They may not have known what is to come 2 years later through SB35, but there was absolutely no excuse to grant unlimited height and 20 years worth of office space to single property owner. None of the 4 city council members voted in favor of Vallco GPA in 2014 are new to Cupertino; as long term residents, you should be well aware of our resident sentiments and expectations. You still proceeded with that GPA. How do you explain that?

You still had an opportunity to correct this enormous exposure to the city in November 2017 before new laws took effect. But you chose to delay it and thus bringing on SB35 burden to the city and residents. BTW, Vallco is just the beginning; there are other developers looking for similar bounty from Cupertino at the expense of gird lock for residents and over crowding of schools.

If you really want to serve the community that elected you and deliver what they are looking for [Local Shopping Experience] as evidenced in the city survey, you can still fix it before it is too late. I would highly encourage you to follow through on reverting the Dec 2014 Vallco GPA without an approved specific plan by May 31, 2018.

If you think a handful of 'Hillside Shills' batting for Vallco property owner as representative of Cupertino residents, you are seriously mistaken. You will find that out in upcoming city elections. The hillside shills might have stopped Measure C with false propaganda, but they cannot stop resident centric city council members getting elected.

Please make this email as part of public records.

Thanks
