We are all in support of low-income housing and the need for it within our county. We simply feel it needs to be executed in a responsible manner that cohesively fits in with the surrounding neighborhood. We suggest that the number of units be lessened. We suggest that the buildings are lowered to two stories and are moved to the back of the lot closest to the mountain, as to protect the privacy of residents below. Lastly, we suggest that sufficient parking (2 spaces per unit) be provided on the low- income lot. As this is an already densly built neighborhood, we don't want the problem of insufficient parking for these apartments to exacerbate the problem. Please email your letters of concern to kbell@slocity.org and rcohen@slocity.org Questions on how to get involved or to see a copy of the current plans email leopjackie@gmail.com Page 2 of 11 Signatures 1, Name: Jackie Leopold on 2016-03-30 22:39:31 Comments: My husband, daughter and I appreciate the low income project as our neighbor and look forward to it, but have hopes that it will be done in a responsible manner as to protect our privacy and safety. 2.

I understand the builders have not had plans approved for their residential idea. The lot dedicated to affordable housing is a prime location. SM residents should not have apartment spill-over parking onto single family housing streets. Apartment designers need to go back to the drawing board to lower building heights, create parking within their confines, create play areas for children in the 36 units. Name: Vicki Rosenberg on 2016-03-31 15:21:03 Comments: supportive of low income housing but needs to be compatible with all neighbor's and everyone's safety, especially children and cars. this request is well thought out and deserving of serious consideration by the decision makers.

All you have to do is drive around the city and see the car to house/condo/apartment ratio is more than 1:1. The parking situation in Serra Meadows is already cramped let alone an additional 36+ cars spilling over from the apartment complex to street parking in Serra Meadows. Please reconsider and be respectful to everyone in the neighborhood especially people that will be tenants of the complex. Who wants to park half a block away from their home because the project wasn't thought through completely. And I also agree with everyone else about going with a two story complex vs three story. Thank you for listening. Name: Gloria Gomes on 2016-04-06 15:46:09 Comments: At least two parking spaces are needed per unit. Two levels is best. Units should be built where they are not looking down on neighboring homes. 61. Name: Aubrey Semenova on 2016-04-08 20:55:45 Comments: 62, Name: Misty king on 2016-04-10 17:39:13 Comments: 63.

Name: Randee Moonjian on 2016-04-10 23:24:32 Comments: As I am waiting for my home to be finished in Serra Meadows; I have just recently been informed of this housing complex. As I feel more affordable housing is always good, you must consider what it will do to the neighborhoods around that are already existing. I am a real estate agent and believe that a 2 -story complex would be more desirable. You really need to have 2 parking spaces per unit, or you will have cars parked everywhere around the area. I feel that this is just as important. Thanking you for listening. Randee 65. Name: Stephanie LoCoco on 2016-04-11 02:16:16 Comments: 66. Name: ken breese on 2016-04-11 02:38:20 Comments: 67. Name: Stephen Kroener on 2016-04-11 04:06:10 Comments: I agree with two story max height, double parking capacity, and have a seperate drive to the complex. 68. Name: Martha Messineo on 2016-04-11 21:28:53 Comments: As a resident of Serra Meadows, I am concerned about these plans, and agree with the other comments. 3 stories is too tall on an already elevated location. And there must be at least 2 parking spaces for every unit (and should have 3 places for the larger units) - we lived in a similar neighborhood to Serra Meadows in Sacramento, and were across the street from a low-income apartment complex that didn't have enough parking spaces. The residents had no option but to park on our street - usually 10 or more cars each day. This made it impossible for our guests to find places to park, and the apartment residents didn't have any pride in our neighborhood, so we regularly had to clean up after them (trash, dumped ashtrays, and other unmentionables). There was also a lack of places for children to play, so that brought them into the streets, which wasn't safe for any of us. I would hate to see this happen in Serra Meadows, so I hope that a more appropriate complex will be designed. 69. Name: Jackie Jensen on 2016-04-11 23:08:24 Comments: 70.

A two story building with sufficient parking (2 spaces per unit) is not an unreasonable request. Let's keep all residents happy by planning thoughtfully and thoroughly. Page 8 of 11 72.

Name: Deborah Light -Pacheco on 2016-04-21 17:20:45 Comments: Name: David Owens II on 2016-04-23 03:32:20 Comments: Affordable housing is great, though it's disappointing that it's rental property vs. owning where they could actually start building equity. Regardless of that, a three story structure on that already elevated property seems quite egregious. In addition to the shear size, the parking ratio is quite absurd; all that does is push parking to the residential streets surrounding which is really unacceptable. 75.

Name: Michela Cagliero Comments: on 2016-04-23 14:13:16 Name: Randee Moonjian on 2016-04-23 17:25:11 Comments: Being a realtor for many years, I appreciate the fact that low income housing is being built, but at the same time, you will need at least 2 parking spaces per unit. If there is not enough parking in the complex, it will spill over to Serra Meadows and that does not bid well. A 3 -story building does not exactly go along with the homes around there. A 2 -story complex is much more suitable for the area. Please take this in to consideration in the final phase of planning. (2 -story and 2 parking spaces per unit) Thanks, Randee Name: Caroline Arlen on 2016-04-23 20:46:19 Comments: Name: Cameron chapman on 2016-04-24 14:58:21 Comments: Name: Daniel Gomes on 2016-04-24 15:07:54 Comments: Name: Alison Morris Comments: on 2016-04-24 18:44:32 82, Name: Samantha Cagliero on 2016-04-25 15:54:57 Comments: Page 9 of 11 83. 84 Name: Donna Gallagher on 2016-04-26 03:50:42 Comments: Please call Paul Gallagher at 805 544-3977 tonight or as soon as possible as late as 10pm Have a time sensitive question.

Name: Kelly Fidopiastis on 2016-04-30 23:48:52 Comments: This project needs to be scaled back significantly. 2 story structures, 18 units, 2 parking spaces per unit. We did not move to Serra Meadows to be crammed into a high density living situation. Name: Robert De Vries on 2016-05-02 00:48:17 Comments: This property will be visible for miles and needs to be at a lower height than proposed. There is not sufficient parking for the residents which will overflow into the Serra Meadows homes.

Name: Carolyn Gillespie on 2016-06-28 16:02:23 Comments: The height of the buildings and one parking space per unit, with only one additional guest space is not adequate.

I understand the need for the development, and just want to ensure that it fits well with our relatively new community. 100. Name: Heidi Borders on 2016-08-01 17:01:39 Comments: A three story structure would be overly imposing in this location in addition causing a significant traffic increase and overflow parking negatively impacting the adjacent neighborhood. 101.
