Opposes senior living facility

It is ironic that Sunrise Development Inc. is wooing Westlake with an early Valentine's Day gift by proposing to "block out the sun" with a 3story, 226,000squarefoot, 192-unit apartment complex in the heart of Westlake Village.

If you like traffic, congestion, construction noise, waiting a half hour in line at Starbucks, and generally think it's a good idea to ruin our community, then you can forget the public hearing last night at the City Council chambers at 31200 Oak Crest Drive.

If you're as upset as I am, petition neighbors and take copies to the meeting to reject this "nightmare on Lakeview Canyon."

The abandoned Kmart site on Hampshire is "freeway close" and a more appropriate location for high density housing like this, with adequate parking. Steve Koraly Westlake Village
