Padilla; paguilar@chulavista.gov Subject:Action item #10 for tonight's City Council meeting Hello, I’m very concerned about the future of the Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course. I have listened to Councilman McCann sluff off the ULI report which was discovered online about 1 year ago. Obviously, you allocated $20,000 for the study to be performed, and then you say it’s nothing to worry about. Well, the populace, your voters, are very worried. I have lived up on Surrey Dr for the past 22 years. When I moved here it was for the rural appeal of the community. Long gone are the Eucalyptus trees which used to line Bonita Road. Long gone are the lazy flow of traffic on Otay Lakes Rd and Bonita Rd. You have let unrelenting development run amok in the south eastern part of the city. You have let massive development of neighborhoods east of the toll road 125, which now crowds the neighbor streets of Sunnyside and Bonita. I am willing to listen to your proposal of so-called “Landmark Park” as defined in Section 1.24 of the CV Parks & Recreation Master Plan. Although you would have to rename Billy Casper Way if the golf course is closed, it would be a sad commentary to one of Bonita’s finest residents. Maybe cut the course in half to create a new and beautiful executive 9-hole course? The unused portion could be combined with the existing Rohr Park. I use the walking trail 3 days a week and there are always many people on the trail. Please do not take that away. Bonita Rd cannot handle more traffic. The Dollar Tree store is a disaster with the traffic and the trash. Not your problem but the coming Ace Storage next to the fire department and the Auto Zone store in Bonny Brae will only add more traffic to Bonita Rd. After the Measure A disaster (a total bait and switch to get more tax dollars for your pension problems) we need solutions FOR the residents of CV. Don’t punish the residents of District 1 for your failings. I will attend tonight’s meeting. See you there.

We strongly object to residential development and hotel development on that site. We are associated with Bonita Alliance / Sweetwater Valley Civic Association, and both my wife and I are voters in the Chula Vista jurisdiction. We are writing to make our opinions known because we cannot attend the Council meeting on August 7.

Hello, My name is Dan Guptill and I live in Bonita near the chula vista golf course. I am writing to express my opinion in regards to the area and its potential redevelopment. Firstly, I would ask that you please do not consider putting in housing, a hotel or industry that will take away from the open community area that we have. I personally would not mind seeing the golf course shortened to allow for other community activities. I have heard there is the possibility of putting in soccer fields. I would suggest a different use. For the space of 1 soccer field, we could fit 12 tennis courts, 4 basketball courts. 4 pickleball courts, 10 volleyball courts, 4 racquetball courts, and 4 handball courts. If open to the public, a recreational area such as this could accomdate far more people of all different ages and would be unique to Bonita. Hard courts once constructed require fairly little maintenance compared to a soccer field that needs to be watered and frequently groomed. I personally play tennis and am teaching my daughter how to play. It can be difficult to find courts that are not in use, especially during more optimal times. Many of the courts are used by professionals who are giving lessons. An area such as above could host multiple clinics and tournaments but also be open to the public. I will try to come to the meeting tonight to share my opinion. Thank you for considering the community's opinions when it comes to this matter. Gratefully, Dan Guptill Sent from my Virgin Mobile phone. 1 Kerry Bigelow From:Sam & Terri Seat <> Sent:Tuesday, August 07, 2018 2:29 PM To:John McCann; Mary Salas; Mike Diaz; Steve C.

I understand that the Aug 7th City Council Meeting agenda includes the topic of Rohr Park/ Muni Golf Course. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend in person, but I would like to ensure that you know my viewpoint - I, in no way want to use these spaces for housing or residential development. My limited understanding of the nature of a landmark park leads me to believe that I could support this option, though I would hope to understand the ramifications in more detail. I hope to live in this area for many years to come and feel it is essential to ensure that these spaces remain available for community use and that the walking trail remain intact.

I want this property to remain open park space to include keeping the golf course. It is my understanding that you will not be discussing residential or hotel development of this area tonight, but please note for future reference this is something my neighbors and I are strongly against. Thank you for you for your time, dedication, and consideration. Respectfully, Christina Strangman.

Padilla Subject:I support Rohr Park + golf course as a new Landmark Park! Dear Councilmembers, My family and I love Rohr Park, and we want to advocate that the park be maintained and improved upon by maintaining its green space, including the golf course, as a new Landmark Park for Chula Vista. A visit to the Bonita-Sunnyside library parking lot on any afternoon or weekend will demonstrate a number of joggers, walkers, bikers and families enjoying the park's open space, as well as the nearby library. Sometimes it's even hard to find a parking spot! With the stores and restaurants across the street, the park already has some infrastructure to support it as a recreational destination. It just needs "a little love" in terms of maintaining the golf course and club house to make it even more attractive. If we want a true Landmark Park similar to Balboa Park, maybe we could fund some creative ideas for expanding the history museum, adding a nature center, a green energy display, a Maker Space, or even a community garden? The one thing that locals would NOT appreciate would be destroying our beautiful green space by paving it and zoning for hotels or residential. Please save our neighborhood treasure! We are so lucky to have some of the remaining large, open green space in Chula Vista. Thank you Cynthia Dadmun 1 Kerry Bigelow From:Maggie Perez - garcia Sent:Monday, August 06, 2018 9:04 PM To:Mike Diaz Subject:Important info Dear Council Member Diaz, As life long south bay residents , 25 years in National City and 35 years in Bonita, we would like you to know that we are very much In favor of open / park space and in keeping the CV golf course.
