Dear Council Members:
Re: Villaggio and the Froom Ranch Specific Plan
Please consider this missive a letter of support for the above captioned "plan." I am a
California native, a retired military officer with thirty -seven years of military service and
choose to make the "Villaggio Community" in San Luis Obispo my final home for a
number of specific reasons:
1. I seek a vibrant, major university based community that offers intellectual stimulation
in my later years.
2. I seek a community within driving distance of a military installation where I can use
the benefits of my thirty-seven years service (Vandenberg AFG).
3. I seek a geographical area rich in flora and fauna to satisfy my curiosity in all things
"nature."
4. I seek a topographical area where hiking trails and sea coast offer hours of exercise
opportunities challenging enough for a seventy-four year old to keep in good physical
shape without killing him.
5. I seek an area close enough for my many siblings to visit but far enough away so
they don't visit too frequently.
6. I seek an area where a good martini can be found at a number of different locations.
Please consider favorably the "Villaggio and Froom Ranch Specific Plan." I look forward
to remaining your one of your neighbors.
