Dear commissioners and powers in the PR&A Commission for Danville, I would like to express my disapproval of the new proposed pickle ball courts in the conversation for Osage park. As you all know, the park has plenty of activity for a neighborhood park with a school, a popular kids' playground, a walking trail, and a picnic area, large youth baseball and youth & adult soccer leagues, and to think that we need more people and traffic in this area is disturbing, and for what? A pickleball area where probably 80-90% would be from outside our county lines, with some from much farther. I live in San Ramon and use the park daily to walk and take my grandchildren to use the park or to smell the roses often. There are plenty of other areas in both counties for a large pickle ball complex needed, but I certainly feel that this is the wrong spot as it just doesn’t, in my opinion, fit. I thank you all for hearing my concern and hope you will keep the very nice neighborhood park as it is. All the best, Kurt Glazier Resident of San Ramon for 23 years.

Do not click on links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. First of all thank you for your time and energy on behalf of the town of Danville! I am a 43 year resident and appreciate all the work it takes to keep a town running smoothly ! I am writing to you all to request that you please restore the 4th tennis court at Osage Park. I am not against having more pickle ball courts. I play pickle ball too! I am hoping you can see the LITTLE person like me that can ONLY play tennis(or pickle ball)on public courts. I do not belong to a country club. It seems every year there are new decisions made that cut out our public options instead of expanding them! My club is public and about 80 members but we have teams to play all the leagues. It is very hard to get matches done in only three courts. We used to be able to use the 4 PUBLIC courts at Monte Vista. Those have been shut down to us also ! We understand the school safety issue but it seems there could have been some solution that did not cut out the tax paying public. The result was four courts for all our league play and now we are being squeezed down again! PLEASE consider giving the public better access to tennis by restoring the plan to include the fourth tennis court. I am hoping the pickle ball courts can also be included in the plan as the more we can promote healthy outside activity the better for our community and world!

Do not click on links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Mayor Arnerich, My name is Carol Lane and I’ve been a resident of Danville for over twenty years. I am asking you to oppose the expansion of pickle ball courts at Osage Park. This is a small community park adjacent to a middle school and it does not have the parking and road infrastructure to support the larger numbers of cars that would be drawn to that area. This bottleneck will cause a major disruption to the residents of the area, along with a safety concern for the students who traverse the small parking area daily during the school year, and the children who come to use the sport fields year round. A complex of this size will also potentially draw hundreds of visitors from outside the Danville area, bringing noise and potential disturbance or vandalism to the neighborhood. This issue is personal to me even though I live a mile from the park. Ever since I’ve lived here, I’ve used Osage Park. I brought my grandchildren here when they were small tykes and I’ve watched them play sports on the fields as they grew up. And I’m out at Osage five or six mornings a week, walking on the path. I’ve watched the evolution of the pickle ball courts and I’ve seen the increasing numbers of players with just one court. I’m also a pickle ball player, so I’m not opposed to putting a complex in: just not at Osage. It’s too small and it will do much more harm than good. I’d like to suggest looking at the larger Sycamore Park where there is more open space, and already sufficient parking. And the houses are far enough away to not be affected by the larger numbers of visitors. Please vote no on the expansion of pickle ball courts at Osage. Thank you for your consideration on this matter. Sincerely, Carol Lane 1603 Fountain Springs Circle Danville California 94526 Sent from my iPad
