Commissioners Greg Wynn, Angela soll, Richard Beller, Amy Nemcik, Brian Rolph, Allen Root, Micah Smith,
I attended last night meeting regarding 1575 Monterey, and for the first time in a long time, I came out feeling happy. I
want to thank you for steering everyone in the right direction, and for giving strong consideration to the concerns of the
neighbors. How I wish that every meeting turned out like this! Of course, it helped to be dealing with decent motel
owners, who were not out there just to make as much money as possible on the back of other people. These are good
neighbors, and I am grateful there are some among developers.
I could not help wondering why you did not apply the same rules to 22 Chorro and to Reid, its greedy developer, and I
hope you drive by this building once in a while to see the result. With its four stories towering next to small houses, and
$5,200 a month for two-bedroom apartments, + $150 a month to park a car, and barely any room to even walk around
the building, this has to be the most outrageous thing this city has ever built. I hope it is forever pointed as the disaster
to never repeat.
After last night, I realized that better decisions can be made when everyone cooperates, and I also hope you handle the
next Reid project on Foothill the way you did last night. Again, thank you for such a positive and successful meeting.
Sincerely,
Odile Ayral
