Subject: Grocery Outlet
___________________________________________________________________________________ Hello Jane. I've been a Sebastopol resident on Bonnardel Ave for the past 30 years. I speak for myself and not for any organizations, but I'm on the coordinating council of Sebastopol Village, a local non profit focused on aging in place.
I'm writing to ask the Sebastopol Planning Commission to deny a use permit for Grocery Outlet's planned move into the former RiteAid location. Grocery Outlet in THIS location, is totally contrary to the look and feel of the downtown area. I'm not opposed to a Grocery Outlet in Sebastopol -- even though we have multiple national and local grocery stores -- but I am opposed to the proposed location. It is absolutely wrong for downtown Sebastopol. Please deny the application.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
David Gill
