'Push it Back...Way Back!' Reader Dismayed Over New Moraga Development


Posted by Fritz 'Congodog' Stoop 

I am writing to express my horror and opposition to the proposed location, size and scale of the development next to the Moraga firehouse near the Country Club.

My objections are based on the proposed height combined with the proximity to Moraga Way. 

These structures seem to be only two stories, but if placed so close to the thoroughfare, they would be antithetical to the rural look and feel of our community.

At this point all I know is what is represented by two by fours and rope and haven't a clue of the proposed use.  I fully intend to investigate this project more closely.
Whatever it is, it should be set well back from the road, particularly anything taller than a single story.

I won't go so far as to call it 'Manhattanization', but it seems well out of character for our rural little town. I cannot imagine what the Building Department is thinking to even consider such an eyesore. 

The most beautifully designed structures become aesthetic atrocities if placed illogically. 

Please join me in opposing this design as situated.
