Dear Planning Commission members:

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I apologize for being unable to attend your meeting Wed. night but wanted to express some
concerns our neighborhood has over the proposed changes requested for these two (2) lots. First
of all let me explain that I am the Chairperson for the Alta Vista Neighborhood Association &
these two parcels are within our boundaries. These are our concerns:
1. We are already living with an infill development on Leroy Court, Mc Collum St. & one house
on Fredericks St. It has turned this area into a mini Isla Vista. All you have to do is look at the
SLOPD log for noise disturbances & you will see the majority of the calls on Thurs., Fri. & Sat.
nights are in this small compact area. Adding another infill development just adds to the noise
level that permanent residents already have to endure.
2. They are listed as family dwelling units in the staff report; we all know that they will be
student rentals so therefore LEAVE the lot sizes as they are!
3. The staff report sites that there is already an infill area nearby which is true. But no mention is
made of the permanent residences on RI lot sizes adjacent to these two (2) lots on Grand Ave.
plus numerous homes on Fredericks St. & Mc Collum St. Just because these two (2) lots are two
(2) blocks from Cal Poly does not mean they need to be reduced in size to put more students into
rental units. This is primarily a residential area & we have been greatly "burned" by the prior
infill development. We would appreciate not having that compounded by still another mini -
subdivision.
We would appreciate the neighborhood concerns be considered. karen adler
