Dear Council Members,
I am a lifetime resident of the county of San Luis Obispo and a long time resident of the City of San Luis
Obispo. I now live at 921 Ambrosia Lane, a family neighborhood less than a sixth of a mile from the proposed
outdoor concert permit location.
My husband and I respectfully request that you deny the permit for SLO Brew to hold outdoor concerts at their
facility on Aero Vista Drive for the following reasons:
Concerns of traffic: 600 people coming and going to this venue will severely affect the traffic flow of South
Broad Street. What is already a difficult left turn on to Broad Street from Fuller Road would be even more
dangerous. It would be equally as difficult and dangerous to turn left on to Fuller Road from South Broad
Street. For both of these turns a middle transition lane is used. This middle lane could easily become over
burdened causing traffic back up.
Concerns of noise nuisance from the outdoor events: Amplified music travels long distances and so does the
bass percussion noise that comes with the music.
Concern of lost property value: We purchased our home in a quiet neighborhood so that we would not be
inundated with noise from students or folks who are celebrating. We did a careful job of researching the area
and making sure it was the environment we wanted. The airport was already here, so we knew what we were
getting with that, however we never thought we would be looking at an outdoor concert 800 feet away. If this
proposed use permit is approved, then when any of the homeowners in the vicinity want to sell their homes,
they will most likely have to list a noise nuisance on a full disclosure form.
Thank you for your consideration,
Bonnie McKim & Patrick McKim
