I wilt not be able to attend the public hearing because of previous commitments, but t want to state that [support the new neighborhood; but am much more concerned that the drainage problems are finally resolved. This improvement is long overdue. I~1y wife and I have lived in Arroyo Grande for mare than IS years, We travel East Cherry and Branch Mi11 Road to our home. We have been aware of the flooding that has occurred in the Branch Mill area, and were under the impression that the regional drainage system would be constructed by the City. This has not happened to date. Please add our voice to the proposed improvement. ~~-,,-_~ Ul renius, D.DS. l _May 11 2009 2:13PM Steven Hauck B, Rssociates 805-474-5941 p.2 REr,EINED i.'17Y GF ,~Riil]YO ~?R;'.NDE 09 MAY I I Psi 3~ 39 May 11, 2009 Rob Strong City Planning Department City of Arroyo Grande Dear Rob- My wife and I have lived at 420 Hidden Oak Road in Arroyo Grande for 6+ years. I am not able to attend the City Council Meeting on Tuesday, May 12 but I understand that the Cherry Creek Development has returned to the City Council for another review. We supported this project from the beginning, and still think it should move forward. However, our main concern is that the City protects the adjoining neighborhoods in that area that have been flooded in the past. I ask that the City implement the Regional Drainage Plan that has already been approved. I believe the City has an obligation to solve this flooding problem, and should act accordingly.

CHERRY CREEK PROJECT DATE: MAY 12, 2009 Attached are the following two documents which were received by the City today: 1. Correspondence from Buddy and Terry Jaquith, 623 Myrtle 2. Correspondence from Cliff Branch requesting a continuance of Agenda Item 9.a. regarding the Cherry Creek project to the May 26, 2009 Council meeting. c: City Attorney City Clerk May 11 09 08:57p Buddy Jaquith 805-4893787 p.1 May 11, 2009 RECEIVED a9~aa~ ~ 2 k~ 4~ i 2 To: The City Council of Arroyo Grande, Ca. Re: Cliff Branch Cherry Creek project-Demolition or other disposition of Stillwell residence From: Buddy 8x Terri Jaquith 623 Myrtle Street Arroyo Grande, Ca 93420 We write this letter to endorse the removal of the "Stillwell House" which sits directly across the street from us. I moved into our current residence on August 5, 1978, almost 31 years ago. I knew and visited with Al and Grace Stillwell as neighbors during their lifetimes. Even as early as 1978, there was no redeeming historical significance to their house. Even then, it was a patchwork quilt of multiple years of add-ons. Whatever original listorical integrity may have existed when it was first built was gone. The Village "theme" and architectural integrity is not carried out by the remnants of the existing Stillwell house. The charm and motif of our "Village" is not well served by keeping the Stillwell house intact. We have always been proponents of having a quality project built out in the adjacent acreage Cliff Branch now wants to finish. We have watched all the plans the original developers brought to the Council, have been to meetings, and have voiced our opinions. We vigorously support the current plan. It will resolve among other issues, a long standing and yet unfinished drainage project. The City of Arroyo Grande guaranteed in 2000 the completion of our drainage plan K~hen Coker Ellsworth deposited $250,000. That plan is not yet finished. Is this a fiduciary duty yet unfulfilled? There is no viable reason the Stillwell house should remain at its current location. It is a dilapidated structure, an attractive nuisance, and a blight on our neighborhood. The Myrtle Street entry into the new development needs a beautiful anchor to enhance the neighborhood; removing the Stillwell house Kill help achieve this new beginning.

Minor revisions were made to be consistent with language suggested by the League of California Cities. Let me know if you have any questions. attachment RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE OPPOSING PROPOSALS BY THE STATE TO BORROW AND/OR TAKE ADDITIONAL LOCAL FUNDING POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN THE NEED TO DECLARE A LOCAL FISCAL HARDSHIP FOR THE CITY WHEREAS, the Governor's office has informed local government representatives of a proposal under consideration by the State of California to borrow local property tax revenues to address State budget deficits if voters do not approve Propositions 1A through 1 E at the May 19, 2009 Statewide Special Election; and WHEREAS, voters of California approved Proposition 1A in 2004 by an 84% margin, which sent a clear message to the Governor and State Legislature to stop the irresponsible, damaging and unfair practice of taking local government funds to finance the State budget; and WHEREAS, Proposition 1A prohibits the State Legislature from reducing the share of property tax revenues going to the cities, county and special districts in any county and shifting those revenues to the schools or any other non-local government function, but allows borrowing of not more than 8% of the total amount of ad-valorem property tax revenues for a three year period; and WHEREAS, the State Department of Finance has estimated this amount to equal $2.006 billion; and WHEREAS, it would be irresponsible to "borrow" such funds because it would deepen the State's structural deficit and cripple local government and transportation services, a position previously expressed by the Governor; and WHEREAS, as a result of the current economic recession the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande has recently approved preliminary budget strategies to address a projected budget shortfall of nearly $2,000,000, that significantly impact the Cites ability to provide public safety, infrastructure maintenance and other critical services to the community; and WHEREAS, any further diversion of property, sales other local government tax revenues under the Proposition 1 A loan provisions will further impact the ability of the City, as well as other local agencies throughout California, to fund Police, Fire and other critical services, and therefore will significantly impact the health, safety and welfare of our citizens ;and RESOLUTION NO. PAGE 2 WHEREAS, any such further diversion of local tax revenues has the potential to cause the City of Arroyo Grande and other cities and local agencies throughout California to face unprecedented levels of fiscal hardship and possibly even insolvency; and WHEREAS, this condition has been brought about by the amount of budget reductions that the City and other local agencies have previously experienced as a result of prior unfunded State mandates and revenue diversions imposed by the Governor and Legislature, as well as the current economic downturn. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande hereby opposes any and all efforts by State government to "borrow" or seize local tax funds to finance State operations. Such a move would be fiscally irresponsible for the State, would threaten to create a state of local fiscal hardship for cities and other agencies throughout California, and would strongly impact the ability to provide adequate public safety, infrastructure maintenance, and other critical local services. On motion of Council Member seconded by Council Member and on the following roll call vote, to wit: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: the foregoing Resolution was passed and adopted this day of , 2009.
