Hello members of the Planning Commission,
My name is Jeff Longfellow and I live at 1189 Ash St. I am writing in concern of the project being
proposed at 1177 Ash St of the four 1 bedroom units. I was present at the last meeting on July 5, 2016
and heard all the concerns about the impact with parking, trash, increased traffic and architectural look.
I also have the same concerns! I'm also concerned about the future of this small already highly
populated block. It was stated by multiple members of the board that this block is the most congested
block in all of Arroyo Grandel1
Even though this is the last non developed lot on this block, if you approve the change to this lot what is
to stop the change to the other lots with a house on it being torn down and developed into multi
housing. If you allow one to do it then others will follow. I feel that the lots are zoned R2 to keep from
over growing, so why make a change that could drastically change the future of this already congested
block. Keep it to the 2 units on the single lot and help to not make it a future nightmare.
Also looking over the design of the buildings all I noticed was instead of a flat roof they changed to a
pitched roof and left the stucco and steel siding and the color, not really trying to blend in with the
current surroundings. The housing around here is stucco and wood siding. I don't feel there was much
thought into changing the look of the buildings as 1 had heard the commissioners ask for in the last
meeting. This is not an industrial area.
In conclusion I am asking the planning board to not approve this item and have the developer build
within the current regulations.
Thank you,
Jeff Longfellow

Aktenti€ n Planning
My name is Diane Bonifacio along with my husband Michael, we attended a Planning Commission meeting on the
purposed development at 1177 Ash st. Arroyo Grande, Ca. on July 5 2ot6, at that time I/we expressed our
concerns on said development, being number one was the extreme drought ( water rationing), extremely high
volume of traffic on Ash street, at that time I submitted pictures of traffic on Ash street. These concerns are still
concerns we have, I can understand developing said property but with 2 homes instead of 4, the properties here
are zoned R2 the way I understand this not R 4 so does this mean all properties will be zoned R 4 in which case
these high density dwellings will greatly impact this street even more so than it already is. We already have issues
not being able to park in front of our own home, at the first Planning Commission meeting ( July 5, 2o16 ) the
council stipulated there would be follow ups on these concerns but I have only seen Code enforcement a couple of
times and these concerns still remain an issue. I am only looking for some kind of resolve to better this
neighborhood, as it is now traffic is a major concern and the safety of residents that live on Ash street should be a
consideration. I am hoping that we can all come to an agreement on this development to benefit the
neighborhood and build 2 homes instead of the purposed 4.
Sincerely,
Mike and Diane Bonifacio
