❑ear City C�un�il Members,
We are Michael and 5hirley Ritter. We live at 6550 Avila Valley Drive, SL�. We have be�n residents
❑f 5an Luis ❑bispo County f�r 2a years. We love it here and are near ❑ur family and many
friends. We have been a�tive financial supporters and Board members ❑f several ❑f our County's
non-profit organizations over the years. As we approach our "elder years", we will need the care and
security that only a propased �ommunity like Villagio can provide in our County. If Villagio does nat
bec�me a reality, we will be for�e� t� move away from �ur family and friends an� the area we love s❑
much.
We are not alone in needing a future home like the Villagio �ommunity. Most of the appli�ants to
Villagi� and its investors are residents ❑f 5L❑ County. We all understan� the imp�rtan�e of the
availability of�n-site �are as we age as well as the need f�r an a�tive, engaged c�mmunity. As �ur
elderly papulation grows, having a fa�ility as Villagio becomes increasingly important to us and our
City and County.
Although the governmental review and approval process has been very time �onsuming, we are
hopeful that the pro�ess �an be �oncluded and actual construction of this important project can
begin soon. We are encouraged by yaur Planning Commission's unanimous recommendatian for
appraval ❑f this important proje�t. Unfortunately, further delays �ould result in ❑ur as well as ❑thers
needing t� move ❑ut ❑f the County f�r the �are and �ommunity we will need, even if the Villagi❑
proje�t is ultimately approved.
Thank you in advan�e for y�ur approval �f this very imp�rtant and essential addition t❑ �ur City and
County.
Sin�erely, Mi�hael and 5hirley Ritter �805-595-2593}
