Re: 466 Dana St. The Waterman Village
Dear Chair Crotzer and Members Gray, Tischler, Arrona, Simon, Bernard, and Ashbaugh,
I write in support of the proposed Waterman Village, located at 466 Dana Street in San Luis Obispo, and respectfully request that the CHC
recommend that the Planning Commission approve this project
I grew up in San Luis Obispo, attending local schools. However I cannot afford to move back with the rents that exist. My parents allowed me
to install a tiny house on their lot, and it has given me the opportunity to live, work, and become involved in this beautiful community at an
affordable price. Waterman Village will provide the same opportunity for almost two dozen others. It’s exciting to imagine a community of all ages
and interests, living together in like-minded community, with easy access the city without a car.
This project is a win-win. I am very fortunate that my parents have a house in the city limits, that allow for a tiny house. Not everyone is so
lucky! The development of Waterman Village will fill a much-needed niche. It also provides community members access to an historic resource
which has been sitting empty and boarded up for more than 30 years.
Thank you for your support of this innovative project that meets so many City goals.
Sincerely,
Garrett Philbin
San Luis Obispo
