Thank You Mr. Robert H. Bisno

Thank you Mr. Bisno for supporting so highly a process you now state is "outside the process."

Without your support these many months, OUR community would not have had the opportunity many other communities miss out on when confronted by "weapons of mass development" such as your 2,300-unit Ponte Vista at San Pedro project you have submitted an application for.

Are you going to change your current application requesting changes in the current zoning to a "specific plan zone"? Or are you going back and submitting a new application for different types of zoning at Ponte Vista.

Do we have the opportunity to go back to the very beginning of the application processes and get a new look at a new proposal with new zoning requests?

OUR community received a unique look into what a developer of a massive project has to go through and many, many of the issues involved with those processes.

Had you chosen to not use the process you supported before you stated that the process you supported was "outside the process", we probably would not have found so many faults with your plans.

I know you were most likely required by the Department of Planning for the city to provide the process you supported by now say is "outside the process." We were told that with the application for zoning changes to a specific plan zone, the developer must take steps not normally required of other developers who apply for different types of zoning changes.

Thank for providing the great food, especially the chocolate chip cookies everyone had the chance of enjoying. The ballroom you paid for was adequate most of the time and the tours you paid for allowed CAC members the chance to look at other types of developments and the development you have modeled Ponte Vista using.

The game you supported was a game you tried to win, but it seems OUR community was able to see that the rules you tried to impose were not followed and reasonable, responsible, realistic, and respectful individuals from those who just signed the R1 petition to those 13 great members of OUR community who gave so much of their time, energy, and spirit, without any monetary compensation to OUR community.

"Outside the process" is what you say now, but it sure wasn't what I heard you say last August. You claimed to support the CAC, along with Ms. Hahn. You stated your beliefs that no appear to be counter to what you now feel. Perhaps you felt that you were required to stand up and state your support for the CAC process, when all the while, behind your eyes and mouth, you felt compelled to do something you really didn't want to do.

Well thank you anyway, Mr. Bisno. You allowed OUR community a good look at your project and now you are giving us a great look at your character, I feel.

We played the first round of your game. OUR community won that round and now you want to change the game after only one round. I am more than happy to stick around and watch you change the rules of a game you are trying desperately, I think, to win.

Please remember Mr. Bisno, there are many members of OUR community that play hard, play fair, and play to win. We also know that we will keep the referees honest, too.
