Dear Members of the Chandler Planning Commission, Mr. Mayor and Chandler City Council, 
 
My name is Kellie Mendoza and I live directly east of the proposed Veneto Development at 
Pecos and Pleasant Drive. I want to start by stating that I had no intention of supporting this 
project when we first started this process. We had major concerns and were afraid we wouldn’t 
be listened to.  However, Max and his development team began working with us to find 
solutions to our problems. Instead of trying to work against our opposition, they began to work 
with us!  
 
We really appreciate how Max and the development team started to immediately make 
changes to their project. They added landscaping to begin with, to buffer our house and yard 
from the new development. Then they offered to add landscaping in our yard as an additional 
buffer, because the grading is different on the two sites. They completely modified their house 
product for us, removing balconies that faced our property to respect our privacy. They even 
changed the name of the project at my suggestion. This development team really has done 
everything that could reasonably asked of them to accommodate the surrounding neighbors.  
 
With the changes that have been made to address our concerns, as well as additional 
accommodations that have been made to address concerns of neighbors to the north, we feel 
this proposal is a great solution to this difficult infill site that is next single-family, an arterial 
roadway, and across the street from apartments.  
 
Development of the site was inevitable, and we feel we have been fortunate to work with Max 
and to end up with the type of thoughtfully designed development that is now being proposed. 
We have no desire to start over with another developer, which may not make the same 
accommodations for us.  
 
We fully support this revised project.  
 
Respectfully, 
 
Kellie and Daniel Mendoza
