Subject: Monterey Hotel proposal
Dear Sir and Madam,
I am sure you are aware that preserving the tranquil creekside setting is a priority for the neighborhood and the
city as a whole.
One of my main concerns is flood control....
My home and many others in the Andrew Street Footbridge area are in a FEMA "AE" flood zone. (The 100 -
year flood zone stretches all the way across San Luis Drive to the southeast.) Just last week I was told by an
experienced surveyor that the city's floodplain map is based on 1950's contours. These maps were developed
long before most of the existing motel property sites were improved.
I would ask that you check with Public Works to make sure this project - and other motel expansions that will
inevitably follow - do not make a bad situation worse.
I know you both are very interested in the quality and character of the San Luis Drive neighborhood and that
you can help forge a project that ensures a peaceful coexistence with our short-term visitors across the creek.
Sincerely,
Ken Vomaske
1804 San Luis Drive
