Subject:Agenda Item 9 -- Froom Ranch Specific Plan
Re: Agenda Item 9
To the City Council of San Luis Obispo,
My name is Susan Kay Miller and I’m writing to you in support of Villaggio specifically
and the Froom Ranch Specific Plan in general. My husband and I bought a town home
in the Avivo development a little over 3 years ago. We moved here from outside
Durango, Colorado in order to enjoy the advantage of being near sea level rather that
at 8,000 feet. We are now in our mid-70’s and signed up with Villaggio shortly after
moving here. My husband is the Treasurer of the Avivo HOA, we are both active in a
local church and, until COVID-19, I was a busy Docent at the Mission. We also support
several local charities financially.
We knew we were interested in a Life Plan Community even before we arrived in SLO
and were pleased to discover one that would meet our hopes. I have no children and
my husbands adult children are in Texas and Oklahoma and not available to deal with
aged parents in California. We are examples of older people who can’t rely on family of
origin as we age; we are hoping to make Villaggio our replacement “family”. This has
begun with the twice monthly zoom meetings where we all check in with each other. If
Villaggio isn’t approved, we will have to look elsewhere. The comparable options seem
to be south in Santa Barbara. After beginning to put down roots here we would not be
happy to have move again. We urge prompt and positive action on the above agenda
item.
