Subject: Avila Ranch Project on Buckley and Vachell Lane
Dear Advisory Bodies and Tyler,
RECEIVED
CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
JAN 18 2017
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I am very concerned about the Avila Ranch Project. A dense housing project on the very edge of town will magnify the traffic
problems we currently have, especially on 227 and Buckley Road at peak travel times. Of course, Vachell and Higuera will be a
problem, Los Osos Valley Road and South Higuera, Prado and Higuera - already have too much traffic lined up turning left onto
Prado, the intersection of Higuera and Madonna Road, anyone trying to leave their driveways on Buckley, anyone trying to
leave Rolling Hills at Crestmont and 227 - currently a huge problem at peak traffic.
I have already been asked by the City of San Luis Obispo to conserve water. So, we do not have water for this huge project.
What about the airport flight path? Houses should not be near there. People will complain about airport noise, and then what?
We need the airport business, not more houses. If you want dense housing move it into town where those residents can ride
their bikes in town to shopping areas.
We do not have the infrastructure. The rural area will be destroyed. I do not want another LA, Orange County or Santa Barbara.
We need to preserve our quality of life here right now.
Please take into consideration the severe impact this will have on traffic and our already overly taxed water system. I believe
we need to take care of the needs of the residents here — water, services, traffic issues, infrastructure.
