ACTION: The Committee provided the following comments:
•Dark color is an ominous green, a lighter color may be better
•Like that flexibility is built in
•Appreciate eye on design for safety
•The buildings are attractive but don’t look like San Luis Obispo
•Love to see the opportunity to tie in with the historic nature of the area
•Either the Murray Abode or the Heyt Adobe could become a café
•The design or use doesn’t have anything to the with the space
•Like the patio and outline of what was there
•Potentially concern about dark colors maybe lighter colors
•More tie into the history of the area
•Maybe a mural that tells the story of the area
•Murray Adobe should be part of the project
•Happy that there was space available for the possible restoration of the Murray adobe
