7298 SANTA YgAA¢EL
I've enclosed photos of 7298 Santa Ysabel taken last week.
I would recommend that you drive down Santa Ysabel on trash day to better see for yourselves
the problem.
The fact that this developer was allowed to cheap out and not provide on site communal
dumpsters and subject the residents to an expense that could have been factored in to their rent
as opposed to individually billed is sad. Depicted are only 15 trash bins. If all 10 units had both
trash and recycle bins on the street there would be 20 bins in front of the complex taking up the
entirety of the street parking.
People place bins on the street the night before pick up and return the bins to their units either
pick up day or the day following pick up. Therefore the street parking is disrupted for 3 of 7
days. This is not the fault of the residents, it is the fault of poor planning and cheap builders not
allocating space for communal dumpsters. Perhaps if there is a fourplex or greater developed a
dumpster should be required.
Ten mailboxes mounted in two pots. Yikes. They probably don't even allow that in Bakersfield.
Have we really fallen that far? Again the builder did that to cheap out, paying a few hundred for
some hokey arrangement instead of a few thousand for one single post Neighborhood Delivery
Community Box Unit (NDCBU) that locks for the residents. Perhaps if there is a four plex or
greater developed an NDCBU should be required.
Ten ugly meters facing the street? Wow, what happened there? Couldn't the wall the meters are
mounted to been flipped so the wall faced the street, not the meters. A perfect location for the
street address that blank wall and a much cleaner look. Btw, where is the street address of the
complex, you know, for safety purposes and delivery drivers? Was the wall a builder mistake
and you just didn't make the builder correct it because it would cost them time and money? I
mean that could not have been the actual plan, right? It might fly in Fresno but here, on the
central coast, it just seems wrong.
So, 7298 Santa Ysabel 3 glaring errors of poor planning. Sad. I can not believe that this would
have passed muster in either of our neighboring towns of San Luis Obispo or Paso Robles.
Must Atascadero always be the red headed stepchild in the county? Please someone with
authority in this manner, please do better next time.
