Cultural Heritage Committee,
I believe I sent a note when this project was reviewed the last time but I have been unable to find it. Ten Over certainly
has completed some positive projects in SLO. This is not one of them. SLO has so many of these generic boxes that I
believe are being built because they are less expensive and allow for increased density. This project seems worse than the
original with less detail and I believe a third story added. Our old town area is improving and please offer some creative
new take on this area. I once discussed city architecture with Ken Schwartz and I was telling him how I thought Santa
Barbara had a better vision for their city. He said we have a school of architecture here with many talented people that are
able to express themselves with our less limited restrictions like Santa Barbara. I still hope he was right and SLO can
create new and exciting projects that people stop and appreciate for a long period of time.
