CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
DEC 2 1 2016
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I am concerned citizen living in the airport area. I am a licensed pilot, with multi -engine and
instrument ratings. I have worked at the SLO airport since 1986. 1 hold an aircraft engine and
airframe mechanics license and an FAA inspection authorization ticket. I moved to SLO in 1984.
I am raising 3 boys in this airport area. I believe that the ALUC has provided the MUCH needed
advice on appropriate development around the airport. The proposed Avila Ranch project is in
STARK disagreement to the sensibility of the ALUC and ALL of those citizens that live and
work in the airport area. San Luis Obispo Airport has been and MUST continue to be an
important asset to the vitality of our city. Any misguided development will jeopardize its future.
Please deny any development of the land north of Buckley road.
The city needs to take care of the crumbling infrastructure that it already has, not expand and tax
existing utilities, roads and create MORE traffic nightmares that are the DAILY REALITY of
the Vachell- Higuera area. It seems (in all cases) that the city is always anxious to get the
development started without considering the long term DISINTEGRATION of the unique
quality of life that we are so desperately trying to PRESERVE! Leave this area as it is,
agricultural green belt, watershed, safe zone for potential aircraft "off -field landings".Do NOT
allow this to become more unsupported SPRAWL. We are STILL in a game changing drought,
and please remember that this region is and continues to be a COASTAL DESERT! Please allow
for a 30 day extension to the public comment period, to study the vast EIR, and for failure of
proper notification. Thanks for your consideration. Eric Norrbom
