Ms. Gullone,

I wanted to express my opposition regarding the proposed condos on the corner of E. Natoma and Golf Links. I was just notified about this proposal by a concerned neighbor and had to hop online to give my two cents.

I think this project is definitely not a good fit for the community. I read that there has not been much opposition to the project, which surprised me. I don't know anyone in my community who thinks it is a good idea to put condos on that lot. I feel Folsom has plenty of condos already.

Please do not approve this Trilogy project. I love Folsom, as you probably do as well, and think this would be a huge mistake that would end up effecting the beautiful and peaceful lifestyle of this area. This simply is not a good spot for this project.

Sincerely,

J S

I have not yet seen the project plans. However, Folsom does not have "plenty of condos", and what condos we do have, have sold very quickly - much of this is generated by the market, and single family homes are not a good market right now - as was evident when I was in your neighborhood yesterday - lots of things for sale, not a lot of buyers.

EDITOR'S NOTE: With all due respect Kerri, this type of insensitivity toward this issue could alienate a lot of Folsom voters toward you should you decide to run for City Council again. Please keep in mind that the issue before us is whether or not a high density project like Trilogy should be placed right in the middle of two well established neighborhoods of single family homes. It is my humble opinion, and that of hundreds of others, that this project does NOT belong here. The maximum density that we should consider is only 40 to 50 condo units, all single story with a pool and clubhouse. If you want to allow two story units, then make the units single family detached homes with the density comparable to existing single family neighborhoods in Empire Ranch.
