Dear council members:
Although I do not live in SLO, it is a region I frequent almost monthly. It's a relatively short drive from
Fresno.
Additionally, I have family that has and does attend college there.
Part of what makes SLO such an amazing city is the beautiful ways in which natural beauty is
incorporated into the existing urban environment.
It has come to my attention that very mature oak is in danger in order to make progress for new
construction at 614 Monterey St.
While new development is essential to urban growth, it should not come at the expense of the natural
beauty that makes SLO a special place.
I hope that you will give careful consideration to the precedent such a decision would make and how it
would reflect on the council's commitment to preserving that which makes SLO unique and a wonderful
city to both live in and visit.
Thank you for taking the time to allow me to express my concerns.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Cole
