Public Hearing 2nd story addition location with view ordinance

[Jeff Cliff]

Hello,

I have a public hearing for one of my properties which bought recently; it has a lot of red tags and needs to be rehabbed. The property is in a coastal town and has view ordinance in place. I am adding some sqft on the second floor, although the addition I am doing on the second floor is very small and shouldn't really block any neighbor's view, there is still a possibility where someone may raise objection. I was told that, I should prepare a letter in support of my project and send it to the city office and also speak about it during the public hearing.

This is something new for me and I am looking to get some pointers as to what should I highlight in my letter and speech in favor of my project. 

Thank you in advance for your response.
