    Merry Monlux From: Kyoko Tanno-Lim Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2019 5:06 PM To: Lily Mei Cc: CClerk Subject: OPPOSE Hundal Subdivision - 45089 Cougar Circle, Fremont CA Dear Mayor Mei, I am writing to OPPOSE the Hundal Subdivision located at 45089 Cougar Circle in the Vineyard Hills neighborhood of Fremont. I live in the neighborhood and sincerely appreciate Fremont’s Staff Planners for rejecting the Hundal Subdivision development. We are original owners of our home at e, Fremont and have been residents for over 30 years. We have seen many changes over those years. I understand that some change is needed, however, it is sad to see the wildlife once more prevalent and the open spaces in our neighborhood being desecrated. We hope the Fremont City Council will deny the proposed destruction of open space in this rural area near Mission Peak that serves the city and region with scenic beauty for recreation and the conservation of natural resources. Thank‐you, Kyoko Tanno‐Lim Fremont, CA. 94539 1 Merry Monlux From: Kyoko Tanno-Lim Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2019 11:31 PM To: Rick Jones - Councilmember Cc: CClerk Subject: OPPOSE Hundal Subdivision - 45089 Cougar Circle, Fremont CA Dear Mr. Jones, It was a pleasure to meet and speak with you this week. Thank you again for carving out time for us. As we discussed, I am writing to express my strong OPPOSITION to the proposed Hundal Subdivision in Vineyard Hills, adjacent to Mission Peak in Fremont. Additionally, I am opposed to subdivisions of other lots that are covered under open‐space easements.

This trend appeared on the construction market along with the progress of advanced struc- tural solutions and the high demand for luxury apartments with spectacular views. Two types of constructions can be distinguished within this typology: ultra-luxury super-slim towers with the exclusivity of one or two apartments per floor (e.g. located in Manhattan, New York) and other slender high-rise towers, built in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Melbourne, among others, which have multiple apartments on each floor. This paper presents a survey of selected slender high-rise buildings, where structural improvements in tall buildings developed over the recent decade are considered from the architectural and structural view.
