RE: Froom Ranch Specific Plan
12165 and 12193 Los Osos Valley Road
Center Island Raised Median
Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
I received the public hearing notice for the Cultural Heritage Committee for the above referenced
Project. This caused me to do some investigation into what was actually being proposed as I am one
of the owners of Bear Valley Center, located directly across the street at 12300 Los Osos Valley Road.
In doing so, I learned that one of the requirements for this Project was to install a raised median in the
center of Los Osos Valley Road.
A median such as the one I believe is being proposed will eliminate access to all of the tenants in this
Center whose customers wish to access them from the west and eliminate any left turn exit for any
customers who wish to leave the Center heading east.
tenants who work hard to make a living in good times and in these current times, which may go on for
several years, are suffering. To cut access to them in half and discourage customers because they
cannot enter or exit the Center in their desired direction could very well drive them out of business.
We do not oppose the Project; in fact, we feel it provides a needed addition to the community.
We strongly encourage you to work with us and to consider the needs of our tenants to, create a
design for the median that gives the tenants acceptable access. The location and design of the Center
lends itself to such a design.
Sincerely,
John Rossetti
