Cross training/team building instead of divide and conquer Raise developer fees. These are the only fees not raised in 1992. Stop subsidizing developers Raise the fees on city facilities Rewrite the funding formula for the COPs so that the General Fund is not held responsible. CC 9/10/96 EXHIBIT D Mr.and Mrs Gerard J. Oleszczuk 2406 Rio Rita Atascadero, CA. 93422 ---- - -. 61 15 City of Atascadero r t City CounselSEP 1 0 i4�� ` 6600 Palma Atascadero, CA. 93422 Sept 10, 1996 Subject: Conversion of 8.99 acres to Residential Multi-Family When we,the owners of Rio Rita, bought our homes, certain zoning restrictions were in place which we relied on to maintain the rural atmosphere in this area. Now, the zoning is being changed to accomodate these developers. I feel that this project will devalue our properties (along Rio Rita) by creating an urban setting with the stores, traffic, lights, people, and homes,and the elimination of the view we now have. the daytime noise and evening lights have already increased dramatically since the construction of the Outlet phase 1, and it will surely get worse. Here are some of my reasons; The plans limit the lightpoles to 30 feet in height this puts them at eye level on Rio Rita. My wife suffers from asthma and the dust created during constrtuction will wreak havoc on her. l do not believe that an occasional sprinkling of water(as mentioned in the E.I.R.)will take care of this problem. Rio Rita is private property and we, the property owners, are responsible for what happens on it We haveaiready had to deal with construction companies using it to access adjoining parcels to build homes. l believe this project presents us with a serious liability concern, both during construction, as well as afterwards when families (with children)occupy these homes. I ask you to reduce the impact this project will have on us by requiring the developers to build a block wall (as found along the housing project in Templeton on hwy.101)to seperate this project from the adjoining properties. I ask that it be a block wall because it won't require any maintenance, since no one will be required to maintain a fence,and only a solid wall will block the lights,noise and dust I ask that this wall be built prior to the start of construction of the outlet phase 2 to help mitigate the noise and dust problems during construction. The planning commission was concerned that a block wall was not in keeping with the rural atmosphere of Atascadero. I dont understand how someone can discuss a project like this, and say that the BLOCK WALL would destroy the rural setting. Others might discuss the pros and cons of this request, but it is MY property being directly affected by this project Please, grant us this request Gerard and Nadine Oleszczuk CC 9/10/96 EXHIBIT E ATASC ADERO HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION F O BOX 32 43W; y d Sept . 10, 1 in 6 �'-- Honorable City Council of Atascadero �f c City gall ' 1y iUL' SEP I0 : Atascadero, CII 93422 Gentlemen: r _ LLCf t l l:" At his request , the Atascadero Iiomeowners Association Board of Directors met with T,'r. Charles Ekberg and his assistants to dis- cuss the proposed Factor-, Outlet commercial expansion and the proposed single family development adjacent to it . The Atascadero homeowners Association is concerned .that the resi- dential -ortion will be built while the commercial part may not materialize . Therefore , concerns about timing of the commercial part and about the residential proposal are contained in the fol- lowing recommendations which were approved by the Board 9/9/96: The Atascadero homeowners Association supports the Factory Outlet commercial expansion if Phase I is completed before the construc- tion of homes is begun, or if the developernegotiatesa comple- tion bond for the coW" rcial part . The Atascadero yomeowners Association has great concerns regarding the residential part of the project , such as: 1 . Since the project proposes to build single family homes, it should request single family zoning, not multifamily. 2 . A .'A is concerned about traffic impacts and pedestrian safety on Del Rio Road. 3. Finally, AriA is deeply concerned about sewer expansion for residential development when our sewer is already over- committed. The Atascadero -omeowners Association Board recommends that the residential portion of the project not be approved -Until these impacts are addressed and mitigated. Sincerely, ._��;..4L John W.
