Regarding:
Letter given to Mr. Toia from Mary Helen Kelly 1-10-08 : wife of{Robert Kelly} Palm
Desert City Council.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kelly, Live 3 homes to the South on Burroweed lane from Mr. Toia.
It seems to me unethical and a conflict of interest for the family of City Councilman
Robert Kelly, to SUPPORT and APPLAUD an Illegal Structure built with out Permits
and with out Safety Inspection.
The illegal structure built by Mr. Toia, does not affect the property value of their
home!
How do I receive a fair hearing and support from the City of Palm Desert?
Respectfully,

To Whom it May Concern:
We are two of the co-owners at 46-100 Bwrroweed bane, and we are writing to express
our exP0dCnW of the propeaty located atA6-020 Burroweed Lane, currently owned by
Michael Toia. This property is at the corner of Burmwced and Ironwood, essentially
—ing,a$POiDt-of-t uy to our block, which ends in a cal de sac. It's appearance is verry
defining for the block.
For multiple years,prior owners of the home at 46-020 let it fall into complete disrepair.
The home was an obvious blight. The yard was wild,and the home was not receiving
needed maintenance. The backyard pool became green from neglect,and it was visible
from Ironwood to those walking by. This made the home unsafe as well as unsightly.
-The current owners have completely renovated and r+elandscaped, making the corner
highly attractive. It now is a good match for the very upscale home on the other side of
Ironwood All of the work has been done tastefully, with desert landscaping and
coordinated architecture.
We have noticed the new golf-cart garage adjacent to the main.garage. It is a very
allmctive addition, integrated with the existing structure so as to appear part of the
original design. Consistent with many other homes in the neighborhood., it is built
against the plot line.
The work done on 46-020 is a very,very welcome improvement to the appearance of our
neighborhood and an asset to home values. We applaud the current owners for their
Or
effort. �
Sincerely,
e
Kathleen Kelly
