Subject: APPEAL 71 PALOMAR
Dear Heidi,Carly, Dan and Advisers -
I live on just less then 100 yards from the project at 71 Palomar
Drive.
I concur with many of my neighbors concerning the building of 33 apartments on the
site and the consequent impacts upon the surrounding community. I understand that no
traffic/circulation studies have been required of this project.The neighborhood streets
are already dangerous, heavily traveled, crowded and over -parked, with hilly terrain and
winding narrow streets. I take my kids to/fro school via Palomar, across Luneta to
Ramona everyday. The blind corner at the Valencia apartments is a hazard with the
present traffic and will only get worse. The bus stop is abuzz with riders and the busses
block the field of view, which will be a greater hazard with increased traffic.
Noise is another factor. As we are a mile from the Cal Poly campus, we can hear sports
games every Friday night. Far worse, we hear noisy parties at Valencia Apts. and a few
rental properties on the four streets of Lunette Serrano, Palomar and Ramona. This
noise pollution will only get worse as students are likely to be tenants in these dwellings.
As a 7 year resident on Serrano, I have personally had to call the police at least every
two weeks minimum as'have many of our neighbors.
My young sons walk and ride their bicycles down Palomar daily and increased traffic will
be a danger at every intersection they must cross the street. I hope there will be speed
bumps and other safety measures put in place to address the dangers inherent with this
development.
It is with increasing concern that projects like this do not have requirements for a traffic
study.
Of course, like any city resident, there are elections that we will participate in to help
shift the tide to more reasonable solutions for concerned citizens.
Best regards,
David R Robbins
CEO/Founder
