I am writing with concerns that I have regarding the Canyon Springs development that I would like to be
addressed in the upcoming EIR.
Density
It is my understanding that there could be two residences at each of the 185 lots that will be
offered for sale if the project is approved.
What mitigation is planned for the future increase in density?”
Traffic
The traffic impact report should take into account the maximum number of allowed residences.
It should include not only the commuter/service traffic but also the noise/visual pollution of off
highway vehicles ( dirt bikes, quads, etc) that have become so popular in this area.
Glenshire Drive is a hazardous road during the winter commute hours. An EIR traffic study done
on dry road conditions would indicate that the road could safely handle more traffic than the
same road could during winter conditions.
What mitigation is planned for these seasonal variations?
Cost to existing residents
Once the roads go into Canyon Springs they need to be maintained. Who will be paying for the
winter road plowing, road & other infrastructure maintenance until the development is sold‐
out?
What mitigation is planned to defray the cost to existing homeowners?
Thank you for your help.
