Subject: Home grows
Hello,
My name is Brett Bargenquast and I own the property on the corner of Leff and Nipomo. My
wife and I attended the city council meeting a few weeks back and listened to Mike and Denise
Shandroff (Nipomo St residents) speak about the marijuana grow house located between our
properties. Here are a few things you need to be aware of as leaders of our community:
l A major nuisance is created by the constant stench of weed all day long as the tenants grow
12 giant pot plants.
2. Hawthorne school is 3 blocks away. Kids walk by the drug house daily on their way tolfrom
school.
3. The day care center direct behind the drug house shut down for a day because they though
there was some kind of dangerous gas leak, but it was the smell created by the drug house.
4. Diminution of values. As owners, we must disclose this situation. What buyer or tenant who
has a family wants to live next to this? Would you want to?

5. A 17 year old minor lives in the drug house and is cultivating and using marijuana. He lives
in the back yard in a tent so he can protect his plants.
6. Safety/crime threat due to a house full of either weed or cash. They harvest, use, and are
able to accept "donations" for what's left of the 12 pot plants (i.e. sell).
Understand that it not only affects us as adults, but this situation clearly puts children at risk. We
now have broken bottles in the street, pit bulls barking and frghting in the backyard, sleazy
people constantly coming and going and the threat of crime in our neighborhood due to the
presence of drugs and the people growing and using them. You have the opportunity to nip this
problem in the bud (so to speak) before these "home grows" get out of control. This is not what
we want for our beautiful community so we ask you to lead on this issue.
Lastly, I have a simple question, Would you feel comfortable with your kids playing outside
next to a drug house like this?
Regards,
Brett Bargenquast
