Support the Saranap Village - Breathe Life and Growth, not Fear and Decline into our community!

I support the development of the Mitigated Alternative Saranap Village at the intersection of Saranap Avenue and Boulevard Way. The Project will provide a MUCH needed shot of life into a neglected and uninspiring stretch of road with the proposed design - it is fresh, invigorating, and immensely respectful of the space and community around it.

It will lend a much needed boost to the local housing stock, define a neighborhood with services, stores, and conveniences that it currently lacks, and it will NOT be too tall! I look forward to Saranap Village and what it will bring to our area! Please make this Revised Plan an Approved Reality!

Why is this important?

The accusations from a few very vocal members of the Saranap Community about how this proposed development is horrendously out of place, overly tall, and disrespectful to the character of the neighborhood are unfounded, biased, and exclusionary to the needs of commerce, business and the next generation of Citizens seeking a place in the community.

I urge you to disregard the raucous choir of the vocal minority, and instead look to the silent majority of homeowners eager to see convenience, vitality, and property value added to their neighborhood.

Tell the County that this area DESERVES convenience, commerce, and growth to take root! Let your signature urge these council members to approve of this wonderful addition to our community.
