After substantial review and consideration of the issues surrounding our proposal, we believe that the best course of action is to request withdrawal of the existing proposal. We will wish to resubmit a revised project designed to address the concerns of the Council. The focus of our revisions and the resubmitted applications will be to resolve the issues related to dual jurisdictions. We believe that a proposal to annex to the City, in combination with minor project revisions, would best meet concerns expressed during these hearings. We will initiate discussions immediately regarding a minor annexation with both City and County staff with the goal of resubmitting in the near future. To this end, we would request that the Council consider this proposal and offer some thoughts on our proposed direction here today. We firmly believe that the fundamental project offers substantial recreational merit for local residents while providing a significant offer of Open Space in the right locale Thank you for your consideration of this issue. eornks 1190 Marsh St. "F" San Luis Obispo, Calif. 93401 RECEIVED AUG 19 199b CITY COUNCIL 9AN L���S OBISPO.
