Hello,
I will be in attendance for the January 25 hearing and would like to speak regarding: ARCH-0040-2021 (841 Patricia) I have
corresponded with Walter Oetzell on a number of occasions through e-mail with my concerns about the project and the exception the
owners are seeking. I understand the owners have every right to build on the primary lot but I am opposed to the building of the bridge
and ADU unit that will negatively impact the wildlife corridor and creek. I have lived at 221 Twin Ridge since 2002 and have
witnessed on multiple occasions the entire open space that is included in the 841 to be flooded or extremely swampy after heavy
rainfall. If it was my own property I wouldn't build over the creek due to the possibility of flooding and water damage. I am also
concerned about any modifications being made to accommodate a bridge and ADU could leave multiple houses in the surrounding
area in danger of flooding. As we witnessed with the last series of storms, water can and will damage the environment and property. I
know the city has a mission to protect creeks and wildlife corridors so granting the owners an exception for the bridge and ADU unit
will go directly against what the city is trying to protect and the reason so many people enjoy and want to live in SLO.
Thank you,
Jud Clark
