Re: Froom Ranch and Villaggio
My family moved to San Luis in 1975, when my husband, a career
Army officer, was assigned to oversee Cal Poly’s ROTC program. Like so many,
we decided to remain after his retirement from the military to rear our children
here. It was a decision we’ve never regretted. He continued working for the
Foundation (now Corporation) at Cal Poly for many years.
Two of our three children completed their education and settled here with their
families as well.
I’ve tried to be a contributing member of this community that we love by being
active in our church, serving as a CASA (Court-Appointed- Special-Advocate,
Voices for Children) for many years, overseeing meals at the Prado center, and
celebrating San Luis as an artist.
I was very involved in helping my parents, as they aged, and struggled to remain
independent and together. I scoured the county for a home for them with no
reasonable alternative.
Villaggio offers a community where I, unlike my parents, can continue to be a
contributing member of San Luis Obispo, and live these sunset years in dignity.
I also own two residences in Los Verdes II. A traffic light at the entrance has long
been urgent in order for residents to exit safely. While the residents of the
Villaggio project will impact the traffic on Los Osos Valley Road only marginally,
since this village will contain much of the residents’ needs within its borders,
some practical planning needs to be done to mitigate the changes from the
proposed building in this area.
I support the proposed Villaggio project, and hope that this council will approve
it as you provide for traffic flow and plan for a sustainable and supportive
future.
