Dear City Council,
I oppose the Dalido/Marketplace project, and was disappointed to read that
you approved the project knowing that many SLO residents have signed a
petition asking to be part of this decision-making process. While your
actions may be legal, I question the ethics of such blatant disregard for
the voices of so many of your constituents. I wonder how this development
will affect our downtown businesses.
However, if we do move forward this project, I do believe that we can be
influential in making "big box" stores more responsive to the environmental
and social needs of the communities in which they do business. If Target or
another corporate retail center is given permission to build, let's use it
as an opportunity to raise environmental and social responsibility in the
corporate world.
First, the store should be required to build an environmentally sustainable
structure. This means:
1. Use recycled building materials.
2. Energy sources must be off the grid<solar panels or other renewable
resource.
3. Gray water would be used for landscaping and non-drinkable plumbing.
Second, the store should not be a blight to the community's aesthetic
character. This means:
1. Underground parking.
2. A drought tolerant landscape which also serves as a walking/biking/play
area.
Third, the store should designate space for locally and socially responsibly
produced goods.
This compromise could be a win-win situation. Although construction costs
will initially be high, a large corporation can afford to begin the process
and drive down the costs of sustainable construction for smaller businesses
and residences. Local construction companies would win. The retail store
could use the pilot project in an advertising campaign to boost a "green"
image. Shoppers would be happy. People would have more green space. Of
course, the downtown merchants would still struggle to compete...
The Dalidio/Marketplace project could be an opportunity for ground-breaking

dialogue.
Who knows? The action we take today may improve life for people in concrete
jungles like Los Angeles. The private sector can contribute to quality of
life with green space, a socially responsible market place, and sustainable
construction.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Aebischer
