Subject: Lies: 22 North Chorro
Hello,
My commentary is in regard to recent grossly inaccurate publicity handed out by the developers of 22 north
Chorro:
htt ://us l 3.carn ai archive 1.corn/?u=c792e9933175Ob680ca32491 d&id=1 l b1b3287e&e=b63 fl 04 l d4
Gather? Educate? Empower? This is the kind of hucksterism and snake -oil sales that was outlawed in the
nineteenth century.
Local experts? Hardly. Hustling developers dealing in deception and prevarication. And they have the gaul to
ask for exceptions.
The North Chorro site is that of a former gas station (no EIR) That's right, and underground tanks don't leak.
That is probably why the site across Santa Rosa from the government center was excavated and crawled over by
men in HASMAT suits for months. The soils tests for North Chorro must have been done in just the right spots,
or were they done by just the right people?
Hight limitations? The proposal demonstrates a total disregard for the surroundings and the neighborhood.
These clowns start out asking for the moon knowing full well they will have to back way down. Two stories is
the place to start this horse trading with these carpet baggers. They pack them in, up their profit margins per unit
and we have to live with the consequences. We have limits on heights and the number of units per acre. Enforce
them!
Parking? Another colossal joke. Everybody in that building is going to have a car. commercial people as well as
students. There will be more than twice as many cars as there are spaces. This problem has occurred all over
San Luis with apartments and condos. Has no one on the planning commission ever looked one block up North
Chorro to see how many cars are parked on the street when the students are in town. It's full. And now there is
going to be more?
Stop it, stop kissing the developer's ass. Turn them down cold. It might get their attention. Pay attention to the
quality of life in this town. Take care of your constituents.
It is your job.
Sincerely,
Gary Dwyer
