SLO CITY CLERK
Mayor Marx and Council Members, ___
I may not be able to attend the Council meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. I was hoping however, to be able
to offer my two cents with regard to the appeal of the ARC approval of the Transitions/Housing Authority
project at Sunny Acres (the original Sunny Acres not the usurper of the name on LOVR).
Nearly 20 years ago, I became involved with this building when the County proposed to demolish it. Through
the efforts of friends and colleagues, we managed to convince the Board of Supervisors of the value of the
building and demolition was avoided.
Now there is an opportunity for an adaptive reuse of the building for a noble purpose. I could not be happier
with this proposal. It provides for the rehabilitation of this historic structure and provides needed housing.
Transitions has had stellar success with its existing projects,most residents don't know that they even exist.
I strongly encourage you to deny this appeal and allow this worthy project to proceed.
Thanks you,
Bob Vessely
