Dear Members of the City Council --
We write to ask that you approve the Villaggio project before you.
We have lived in San Luis Obispo county for 20 years, 19 in Pismo Beach and more recently in SLO. We have been
interested in life plan communities for 8 years or so. There being nothing quite like this in the area, we thought we
would have to move away to find one.
We looked in the Santa Barbara area, San Diego, and the Bay Area, even considered relocating to Oregon, but we really
wanted to stay in San Luis Obispo, where most of our friends and our religious congregations are located.
Then we heard about Villaggio. It is just what we had been searching for, and best of all it was where we wanted to live.
As soon as we learned that plans were underway to build this life plan community, we signed up as prospective
members and paid our initial deposit. That has now been 3 years ago, and we are more eager than ever to see Villaggio
built.
We think Villaggio will be a major enhancement for San Luis Obispo county, where most of the prospective members
live. It will provide a unique retirement option for senior citizens in this area, and one that is badly needed.
With all this in mind we urge your favorable vote on Villaggio at your meeting, this Tuesday. Thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Bumpass and Sari Dworkin
