It would also establish a 'community' or a campus that could benefit on- <br /> site residents,the larger Irby Ranch subdivision, as well as the greater community. This is a <br /> great start to showing the rest of the California, and the nation,that we value all residents <br /> and want everyone to be able to experience the quality of life we enjoy here. <br /> Changes to the project have been made in response to comments made by the Planning <br /> Commission, and to better meet the growing demand for this type of project. The Irby <br /> Ranch project is unique. It not only meets the needs of special needs adults, it meets the <br /> needs of their families. The planning that has gone into this project is an indication of the <br /> support it will have, and your approval will show the community you are inclusive and <br /> welcoming. <br /> As a society,we must provide opportunities for everyone, including special needs <br /> individuals,to create their own adult lives and to live among their peers and friends. <br /> Everyone deserves to experience the security and dignity of a welcoming community. <br /> If approved, Irby Ranch and Sunflower Hill at Irby Ranch will truly be a showcase to the <br /> state and the nation on how communities can create mixed use developments that benefit <br /> everyone. <br /> Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group is actively working on and supporting projects that <br /> enhance the already wonderful quality of life we all experience here. This project will fill a <br /> gap that has long been ignored,yet is vital to a supportive,well-rounded community. <br /> Thank you for considering approving this project. <br /> Dale Eldridge Kaye <br /> And Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Working Group <br /> 5960 Inglewood Drive, Suite 201 0 Pleasanton CA 94550 0 818-395-0742 <br />
