Description: Dear Mayor Klein,
I am writing to express my support for your recent decision regarding the Sunnyvale project from Aron Home(https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/ ... ger-strike/3154698/). I would like to thank you for putting the health and safety of Sunnyvale residents as your top priority, especially in light of the recent hunger strike protest from Aron.
It is commendable that you have taken a stance against any compromise that could potentially put the lives of the residents and the community in danger. The health and safety of our residents should always be the top priority, and your commitment to this principle is greatly appreciated.
I was pleased to hear that you are not considering any proposal from Aron Home that would result in the omission of the vapor sheet. The vapor sheet is an important aspect of the project, as it helps to mitigate any health risks associated with potential toxins in the soil. I understand that Aron Home is putting pressure on the city to approve the project without the installation of this sheet, but I wholeheartedly support your decision to prioritize the health and safety of our residents.
I would like to express my gratitude for your leadership and your dedication to ensuring that Sunnyvale remains a safe and healthy place for all its residents. Your unwavering commitment to these values is a testament to your strong leadership, and I am proud to be a resident of Sunnyvale under your guidance.
Thank you once again for your tireless efforts to keep Sunnyvale a safe and healthy community. I fully support your decision on the Aron Home project and I will continue to stand behind you in all your efforts to make Sunnyvale a better place for everyone.
Sincerely,
***
City的回信:
Dear **,
Thank you for your email regarding the Aron Place development. While I wish Council could claim credit for the outcome here, really this was the work of our excellent city staff, who handled a highly unusual situation with grace and professionalism.
That said, I agree with your assessment completely. Given the number of contaminated sites from the old chipfabs in northeast Sunnyvale, any compromise on the safety of the vapor barrier would in my opinion be completely unacceptable. It is a developer's responsibility to understand and follow the rules. They should not expect leniency when they fail to do so—especially when such leniency would threaten the health and safety of our current or future residents.
