To Whom lt May Concern
l, Ruben Vargas, have known Pedro Carmona for many years. He is a hard working person and has saved
his money to provide his family with a better place to live. He has a wife and two sons, 2 and 4 years old
His oldest son is autistic. Pedro and his family now live in an apartment. This is not a good place forthe
family. The reason he bought the property in question is because he wants to better meet the needs of
his family. He purchased a modular home and placed it on the property. He placed the new modular on
the same footprint as the old home. The new home is a little larger than the previous home. To the best
of Pedro's knowledge he thought the placement of the home was correct compared to the location of
other homes surrounding his property.
The issue with the present placement of the home has to do with setbacks from the roads. The previous
home located on the property was not in compliance with the required setbacks. ln addition most of the
surrounding properties are not in compliance with the setback requirements.
lf Pedro and his family are not able to live on the property as the home is now located it will be a great
hardship for them financially and personally. The question is how important are the minor variances
with the setbacks compared to what this new home will be to Pedro and his family. Your careful
consideration will be appreciated.
Very sincerely,
Ruben Vargas
