Dear Mayor Harmon and members of the City Council,
Please see my August letter of support for Froom Ranch Specific Plan and Villaggio San Luis Obispo below:
Dear Planning Commission members,
When I have been in conversations regarding the Life Plan Community Villaggio, most people focus on the benefit of
adding senior housing and much needed health care facilities to our county.
While that is top of mind for all of us, it is also true that the future residents will be an asset. The list of members
provides strong evidence of that. Many are familiar names for their years of participation in service organizations and
volunteer efforts in local nonprofits. They will continue to contribute in the years ahead as part of maintaining an active
lifestyle in retirement.
As longtime supporters of the arts, our members will continue enjoying all SLO county has to offer. We look forward to
regular group outings. Attending concerts, plays, and other community events in a Villaggio bus will be a pleasant
experience, safer and more convenient than driving, especially at night.
Without Villaggio, many of our members will decide to leave San Luis Obispo county. What a loss that would be. With
Villaggio, the current members can retain their service commitments and local support roles--as will the coming
generations of seniors who will one day call Villaggio home.
I appreciate your consideration of the Froom Ranch project. Having attended an advisory committee meeting and a
Planning Commission meeting regarding Villaggio last December, I know you take your responsibilities seriously.
Thank you for allowing my voice to be heard.
Sherry Eiselen
