May 19, 2023 City Council Members and City Clerk, I am a Poway Resident and don't agree with having ANY fitness facility ANY larger than the proposed 3,000 square feet built at The Farm project. We were PROMISED THAT THE PLAN PRESENTED WOULD NOT CHANGE, and now huge changes are being slipped in by the developer and owner. This is a betrayal of the public trust, and I beg the Mayor and City Council Members to not allow this change to take place. You are OUR protection and representatives, not the developers.
The Farm development has caused road issues such as: rough patches and bumps that are damaging to our vehicles at 45 mpg; My husband got a flat tire from debris in the road in front of The Farm; And the traffic signals at Martincoit and Valle Verde were screwed up and not working properly for months. The developers appear to have said whatever they needed to win over the community during the Prop P zoning change vote, and promised that there would be no changes in the presented plan. I don't believe this proportionally immense Commercial Building belongs in the Farm Community -our neighborhood. Such a change will put even further strains on traffic in my area. Currently the facility proposed is over 10 times the size of the promised building. Lifetime Fitness is also not a local business and I have recently learned that there are local businesses that have proposed designs, and possibly even contractual documents in place to build a facility along the lines of what was originally promised by the developer. Please let me know how I can further help in addressing the situation and how to best follow up with the city. I am requesting that this email be documented in the next meeting packet. Thank you for your time, consideration, and service on behalf of your constituents. Regards, Allison Beall 13853 Sagewood Drive, Poway, CA 92064 858-592-4855

Mayor Vaus, City Clerk Gallagher,
I am a Poway resident and am so disappointed by the Poway City Council's actions regarding The Farms. I have lived in Poway for over 30 years and it is sad to see what has happened with this development. I live on A venida Florencia and can barely turn left onto Espola now and can't imagine what it will be· like when The Farms is finished. The traffic is terrible. I don't believe the Lifetime Fitness' disproportionally immense commercial building belongs in The Farms. It is not what we voted for.
Do the right thing, keep your promise, and vote this unprecedented expansion of the original plan down.
I am requesting that this email be documented in the next meeting packet.
Thank you for your consideration,
Regards
Francine Grimmer

No on Lifetime Fitness/ June 6th City Council Meeting -Public Comment Good Afternoon Mayor Vaus and City Clerk Gallagher,
I am a Poway Resident and don't agree with having the Lifetime Fitness facility proposed for The Farm project, let alone even being entertained due to its blatant size(Density and Intensity along with Traffic )increase and the developers deceitful tactics to win over the community during the Prop P zoning change vote. I don't believe this proportionally immense Commercial Building belongs in the Farm Community -our neighborhood. Currently the facility proposed is over 10 times the size of the promised building, which would be a "major change" to the plan that was voted on.
Lifetime Fitness is also not a local business and we have recently learned that there are local businesses that have proposed designs, and possibly even contractual documents in place to build a facility along the lines of what was originally promised by the developer.
Please let me know how I/we can further help in addressing the situation and how to best follow up with the city.
I am requesting that this email be documented in the next meeting packet. I also respectfully request that I am alerted if and when Lifetime Fitness submits their updated proposals (via email). If Lifetime has already submitted prior to this email being received -please let me know.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and service!
