Dear Mr. Bell
This letter expresses my strong opposition to the size of the proposed development on the Atoll property on
Laurel Lane. Although I understand the need for additional housing and new commercial development in the
area, the size of the proposed project is too massive for the area. Laurel Lane is already under review by the City
for traffic concerns. Adding over 600 housing unit, plus the commercial space on Laurel, will cause traffic jams,
delays and safety issues. Back up traffic at certain times of the day is already a concern for the area, especially
at the intersection of Laurel and Orcutt. Adding the complication of the train tracks and nearby school just
increases the concern. The Laurel Lane area, plus Orcutt and Johnson Ave will be impacted greatly by the
Righetti development already under construction. Adding the proposed number of housing units and
commercial space of the Atoll project to the area will have great negative impacts on the area in the way of
traffic, noise, safety and parking. Since the Atoll area is nearly empty at the moment, it has little impact on the
current traffic, noise and safety consideration of the area. So, the Atoll proposal is like adding a new
development to the area and should be considered as such and not a re-use of the area when taking into
account the impacts of the neighborhood.
My objections are also to the height of the proposed developed. Nothing else in that area is four stories. The
majority of the current development on Laurel Lane consists of single and two-story structures with a couple
small three story rental complexes. Any four story structure would be inappropriate for the neighborhood. And
how could that size property reasonably and safely provide for adequate parking? There is basically no street
parking in that area--the development must provide for all parking that is needed.
I'm going to continue in a separate email as this email system has limited capacity
