Subject: Urgent request for consideration at today's meeting
Dear City Council Members,
I urge you to buy the residence on Palomar and make a park for all to use. I have lived in this
neighborhood for thirty years, having raised my kids and retired.
I am asking for your consideration and funding for a neighborhood park in our Anholm district.
I understand that you have 5.8 million that can be used for benefit of the neighborhood and
for the wellness of our whole community. I ask that you consider our request to purchase the
historic house on Palomar and make it a park similar to what Los Osos did with their school
house park. Make it a venue for music, meetings, restful areas to be in nature under the old
trees, not to allow construction of more apartments in an overwhelmingly large density areas
of students and older adults. Ferrini Heights, Foothill area, Bishop's Peak, and others in the
area would enjoy the park serving all ages..
This park can serve all ages and meet the need for a neighborhood park to serve all ages as
designated in the General Plan Park and Recreation element that has not been met years ago.
Before it was said that the funding was not available, but it is now currently available and I see
no excuse not to use this opportunity to create greenspace within a high density area. I
consider the need for a park to be greater than ever due to the situation with the increasing
number of college students renting in our neighborhood. We do not need more apartments
and less parking.
I look forward to seeing this come to fruition,
Julie Macedo
