Hi Kelly, I just hung up with Mr. Bergquist. Just a few questions and proposed minor edits to
the staff report are presented below for your consideration:
1. The building site exhibit on Page 3 has the parcels numbered incorrectly.
2. Condition #8 -_Mr. Bergquist has decided not to protest Condition #8, but to simply
request that permitted uses with the open space easement be noted. For example, is it
possible to create a walking path to a site where a viewing platform could be placed,
assuming no building permit is required? Also since these are large acreage rural
parcels, future owners may desire to construct animal keeping support facilities, such as
shelters, fencing, enclosures, water and feeding facilities, etc. There could be other
agriculture uses which cannot be anticipated. Is it possible for more specific language to
be added to the condition?
In addition, the 30' swale setback on Parcel 4 is most likely much wider than warranted
by the minor flows associated with the season Swale. We anticipate the existing culvert
under Llano is most likely semi silted up and/or undersized. Either condition can result in
storm runoff backing up onto the subject parcel. It seems reasonable that a future
buyer should be provided with the opportunity to have his design professional team
evaluate the specific hydrology of the contributing watershed, determine the actual
peak runoff from a 100 year storm event, and calculate the actual width, depth of flow
and velocity. At that point you staff will have the data necessary to properly evaluate
and recommend the appropriate setback requirement. Is there a way the condition can
be worded to allow this process to occur?
3. Lastly, there are two Condition #9's. The first one involves utilities. We would suggest
a clarification stating "undergrounding of the existing overhead utility lines within the
Llano ROW is not required"
Please let me know if you have any questions or wish to discuss any of our suggested
amendments. Thank you, Tim

To: Planning Commission Public Comments
Subject: Agenda Item Number: 2 (Date: 10/5/21)
I live across the street from this project, and I support it.
I have one concern: During the rainy season, a large amount of water washes down the
hills, and continues through a culvert, under the road, to the Blue Line Creek that runs
through all of our properties across the street from this project. The water actually
"ponds" on the ,project's side of the street, until enough water has collected to go
through the culvert. The building envelopes that staff has drawn on parcels #3 and #4
are both impacted by the ponding. I notice that your staff report mentions the drainage
swale that flows through parcel 4, but I believe parcel 3 is impacted too.
I know there are requirements, when building a home, about managing drainage to
neighboring properties. My main concern is leach fields. Your staff report mentions a
condition that requires a 30 foot set back from the swale, and I am not sure if that
includes leach fields. Does a leach field have to stay within a building envelope? I just
want to make sure that the future owner/builder of these properties will not be allowed
to place leach fields adjacent to any drainage swales, so that I don't have sewage
running through my property to the creek.
I am glad to see Mr. Bergquist moving ahead with this project.
Sincerely,
Marcia Torgerson

Subject:
SBDV20-0025
This email is meant to address the proposed project at 6255 Llano Rd., Atascadero, CA 93422, also known as SBDV20-
0025. Our concerns are as follows:
1. Lack of current safe ingress and egress for Llano Rd. Is Balboa Rd. a paved road? Is this road a safe road in the event of
evacuations during a fire?
2. Lack of current bridge on Santa Lucia and Llano Rd. that is safe and passable by 2 vehicles.. Is this bridge safe in the
event of evacuations during a fire or other natural disaster? Wasn't this bridge scheduled to be repaired quite sometime
ago? Whatever happened to that project? This bridge in its current condition is an obvious safety hazard, only to be
made worse by heavily loaded construction vehicles. We are not against this project going forward, however, is the
current infrastructure able to support this project safely? Possible future litigation should be a concern to the City of
Atascadero if the bridge and road, and ingress and egress issues are not resolved prior to this project moving forward.
3. Future water restrictions posed by climate changes
4. Concerns over Valley Fever as earth is graded and Cocci spores are released.
5. Length of project, trucks, dust, noise, increased damage to Santa Lucia Rd. and Llano Rd. as well as the bridge.
6. Santa Lucia Rd. damage is already very bad with ever increasing and deepening potholes. Will this road ever be
repaired properly considering the increase in heavy construction vehicles this project will create?
We would appreciate our concerns being addressed in writing by the proper authority in this matter. Thank you very
much for your time.
Sincerely,
Karen and Art Robles and Norma Holzer
Llano Rd. Residents
