Dear Town Council Members,
As longtime residents of Danville and neighbors of the Sloat Garden Center property on Diablo Road, we
are writing to express serious concerns about the proposed 0&1 Development senior living facility,
known as The IVY.
Recent and historical soil tests conducted on the Sloat property have revealed elevated levels of
hazardous chemicals, including TPH-G, BTEX, and dieldrin—some of which date back to reports from
1995 and 2001 and remain unaddressed.
Despite these findings, O&I's remediation plan fails to meet appropriate environmental and safety
standards, notably by bypassing DTSC oversight and relying on an insufficient third -party approach.
Given these facts, we support the appeal against The IVY development. As a matter of public health and
safety, we respectfully urge the Town Council to:
• Overturn the current project approval;
• Require a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR)/Phase 2 Study; and
• Ensure that any necessary cleanup is conducted under DTSC supervision.
We appreciate your time and commitment to protecting the well-being of our community.
Sincerely,
Gerard and Gina Kuester
