The Martis Peak Home Owners Association is concerned about the proposed impacts to Martis Peak Road
and the congestion the proposal will have at the junction of Martis Peak Road and Glenshire Drive. We
have not responded to the past proposed developments as there would have been minimal impacts to our
association and road system, but this proposal identifies Martis Peak road as the only entrance and exit.
By having one entrance and exit for another 185 single family parcels and another eight lots that could
have as many as 4 units/lot. This proposal has the long term potential of at least quadrupling the traffic
on Martis Peak Road and the intersection of Glenshire Drive (185 units times 2 cars times one exit and
entrance equals 740 vehicle travels per day, plus 8 4 -plex units times 2 cars times one exit and entrance
per day each = 64 travels per day). We currently have about 50 permanent residences which produce
about 200 travels per day.
We have safety concerns as well as the potential substantial traffic congestion on Martis Peak Road and
the Glenshire Drive junction by only requiring one entrance and exit It seems prudent to have at least two
entrances and exits for a development of this size. In fact an access on to Edinburgh Drive was the
original proposals primary entrance and exit. Further there is another possible access on to Courtenay
Court or Winchester Court. I understand there may be other options.
Martis Peak Home Owners Association would like to review the traffic plan for this project with the Town
of Truckee, and request that you do not accept this proposal with one single entrance and exit. We request
you consider our suggestions and maintain communication with us considering the Canyon Springs at
Truckee development We also request we be invited to any public meetings considering the Canyon
Springs at Truckee development project. Thank you for your consideration.
