Project is proposed to be on public water and sewer. WATER QUALITY There are no known water quality issues at this site. RISK OF UPSET/HEALTH HAZARDS The project is not within but is adjacent to any abandoned solid waste disposal site that is known to this department. This department has no objection to approval of the subject project. No conditions or comments are recommended. Additional fees may be incurred and/or required for some or all additional services rendered by this department in regard to this project, including review of compliance with conditions and/or mitigation measures. Said fees will be in accordance with the latest adopted fee resolution. From:SR Jones To:Denyelle Nishimori Cc:"elliot@emulberg.com" Subject:Canyon Springs - NOP Date:Monday, May 02, 2011 4:12:41 PM Hello Denyelle Thank you for sending LAFCo the Notice of Preparation for the Canyon Springs Subdivision EIR. I trust this informal e-mail response will be sufficient; if you would like a more formal letter, please let me know. As the NOP correctly notes, LAFCo will be a Responsible Agency for annexation of the project to the Truckee Donner Public Utility District for treated water service. Although TDPUD also provides electrical service, it appears the project area is within the service area of NV Energy (I believe that the NV service area was recently purchased by Liberty Energy). LAFCo is preparing an update to the sphere of influence of the Truckee Donner PUD. For this reason, the schedules for (1) project approval (including preparation of the EIR) and (2) development phasing is of interest. Our consultant has recommended positioning the project area in the TDPUD Long-term sphere, indicating development (and need for the TDPUD’s service) is at least five years away. If your information indicates that project approvals and development will occur sometime in the next five years, please advise. In addition, LAFCo will use the EIR’s information on various public services and utilities, including wastewater, fire protection and emergency response, and recreation services. The Notice of Preparation indicates that Truckee Sanitary District will be providing wastewater service; as you probably are aware, Tahoe Truckee Sanitation Agency will also be involved as it operates the treatment plant. Therefore, the service capacity/availability of the TTSA system should also be considered in the EIR. If you have any questions or comments, please SR Jones Executive Officer, Nevada LAFCo 530-265-7180 NCLAFCo.com State ofCalifornia -The Natural Resources Agency EDMUND G.BROWN.Jr.Governor DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME JOHNMcCAMMAN,Director 1701 Nimbus Road,Suite A Rancho Cordova,CA 95670 (916)358-2900 http://www.dfg.ca.gov May 23,2011 Denyelle Nishimori Associate Planner Truckee Community Development Department 10183 Truckee Airport Road Truckee,CA 96161 FAX (530)582-7710 Dear Ms.Nishimori: The Department of Fish and Game (Department)has reviewed the Notice of Preparation of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR)for the Canyon Springs Subdivision (project).The project proposes subdivision of about 284 acres into 185 residential lots, including about 175 acres of open space. The EIR should describe all the fish and wildlife resources that may occur in and around the project site.This description should include the extent,location and types of habitat, concentration areas,un-fragmented blocks of habitat,and wildlife movement corridors. The EIR should describe the project's direct and indirect impacts to these habitats and to specific fish and wildlife resources and provide the specific measures to be implemented to fully mitigate the impacts.Of particular concern to the Department on this project site are impacts to habitat and movement corridors for the Verdi subunit of the Loyalton-Truckee deer herd.Habitat impacts resulting from residential development and recreational use are currently the biggest concern for the future of this deer herd. We recommend the document address in detail the project's impact upon significant habitat such as wetlands,vernal pools and riparian areas.The project should be designed so that impacts to wetlands are avoided.We recommend that permanent wetlands should be protected by no less than 100-foot setback buffer areas,and that intermittent streams and swales protected by no less than a 50-foot non-building setback buffer.Buffers should extend around riparian habitats,and areas within them protected from dumping or habitat alteration through covenants,codes and restrictions.Mitigation should be provided for unavoidable impacts based upon the concept of no-net-loss of wetland habitat values or acreage. In addition,the document should address the project's impact to special status species including species which are State and federal listed as threatened and endangered;the project's growth inducing and cumulative impacts upon fish, wildlife,water quality and vegetativeresources;and provide an analysis of specific alternatives which reduce impacts to fish,wildlife,water quality and vegetative resources. Conserving California's Wildlife Since 1870 Ms.Nishimori 2 May 23,2011 The Department recommends that the document analyze the project's potential to contribute to negative wildlife/human interactions such as vehicle collisions, nuisance wildlife complaints,and depredation.The EIR should provide the means to minimizing such impacts through changes in project design or other means such as the use of covenant's codes and restrictions to ensure use of bear-proof trash receptacles. Also,the document should consider and analyze whether implementation of the proposed project will result in reasonably foreseeable,potentiallysignificant impacts subject to regulation by the DFG under Section 1600 et seq.of the Fish and Game Code.In general, such impacts result whenever a proposed project involves work undertaken in or near a river,stream,or lake that flows at least intermittently through a bed or channel,including ephemeral streams and water courses.Impacts triggering regulation by the DFG under these provisions of theFish and Game Code typically result from activities that impact the bed,bank or channel of a lake or stream. This project will have an impact to fish and/or wildlife habitat.Assessment of fees under Public Resources Code Section 21089 and as defined by Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 is necessary.Fees are payable by the project applicant upon filing of theNotice of Determination by the lead agency. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Sections 21092 and 21092.2,the DFG requests written notification of proposed actions and pending decisions regarding this project. Written notifications should be directed to this office. Thank you for the opportunity to review thisproject.If the DFG can be of further assistance please contact Ms.Julie Newman,Staff Environmental Scientist at (530) 283-6866.

Nishimori, AICP Associate Planner, Town of Truckee 10183 Truckee Airport Road. Truckee, CA 96162 Ph: 530-582-2934 (direct)/ Fx: 530-582-7710 From: Kristi Thompson [mailto:kristi@mwa-truckee.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 5:15 PM To: Denyelle Nishimori Subject: Canyon Springs EIR Hi Danielle, In response to the Canyon Springs notice I just got in my email, I'm sending this suggestion for the EIR scope. I'd like to request that the traffic study, looking at "Peak" loads for the Canyon Springs EIR be conducted during a school day between 7am and 9:30am and between 3pm and 7pm when the neighborhood of Glenshire sees it's most traffic during the year. The last DEIR traffic study I saw for this project, was done in the middle of summer. This makes sense for downtown Truckee, and probably for Tahoe Donner, where vacationers and second home owners create peak traffic loads. This does not make sense for Glenshire which is very primarily a locals neighborhood. There is definitely less traffic around Glenshire during summer and during school breaks.

I also need to state, to the EIR agency and to the Town of Truckee planners, my general feelings about the Canyon Springs development. Looking at the big picture for responsible and smart development for our region, it does not make sense to intentionally develop an area far from town and services. As we are aware, all of the people who live in a development 8-10 miles from town will be driving vehicles everyday west into Truckee, because there are no other options. There is no public transportation and no safe bike routes. I understand that the owners have a right to develop their property (even if they lose money on it and leave us with blacktop roads where there was once open space, and dilapidated for sale signs i.e. Elkhorn Ridge). So besides my extreme concern about traffic on Glenshire roads, the destruction of wetlands and wildllife habitat, I worry that the town is not truly looking at an alternative for this project. I remember that this parcel was rejected for development , other than 20 acre parcels, many years ago. I don't know when the zoning changed. One option, that may have been looked at, is to offer the owners a land swap closer to town, so that we don't end up with an even larger population in Truckee dependent on their personal vehicles to get around. I wish the US Forest Service had some property to swap, since Truckee is surrounded by it. I have been a Truckee resident for 25 years. I have a bad feeling about this Canyon Springs project. I feel it's not well thought out for Glenshire OR the Town of Truckee. Thank you for considering my comments. Jean Brooks 10468 Evensham Truckee,CA 96161 From: Rksrat@aol.com [mailto:Rksrat@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2011 11:48 AM To: Denyelle Nishimori Subject: Canyon Springs Hello, I had written you before concerning the past proposal for Canyon Springs. Since we now have new owners that are moving along without your approval, we need to address the serious concerns again. As a Meadows resident, my main concern is the blind intersection (by DMV definition) at Whitehorse Rd. and Glenshire Drive. I deal with it daily, not being able to see cars coming up the hill in the tight S-turn. More traffic will surely cause a serious accident some day. Also, more cars at this location, will surely add to the already dangerous conditions, that exist, when there is snow on this steep potion of the road in the winter time. Secondly, there must not be an access through Edinburgh in Glenshire. The streets are to narrow there for additional traffic. Also, this is a very active family neighborhood, with kids and dogs playing in the streets with their parents. It is not practical or safe to sent additional traffic through this area. When I moved here in 1981, Glenshire drive was a main through fare with the portion from town being 55 mph. The road in our subdivision was 35 mph all the way through. Now, due to increased traffic from building additional homes, from town it is now 45 mph. In the subdivision, it is now 30 mph to 25 mph as the road narrows on this end. If you approve this project in it's size, the speed limit from town will have to be reduced to 35 mph and in the Glenahsire area 25 to 15 mph. That reduction shows the negative impact more cars will have. We already have too many empty subdivisions in Truckee to allow any more to be built. We have two sitting empty here in Glenahsire, not to mention Greys Crossing and the area behind the middle school. The supply and demand is already up set and approving more, will just ad to an already hurting economic area. , As for the wild life, this development is right in the middle of the migration path for the Mule deer. Not to mention, the mountain lions, bobcats, raccoons, porcupines, rabbits, quail, sage grouse, squires and of course the bears. I have witnessed all of these many times out here. They were all here first and have been disrupted enough by our development. Suggestions for mitigation are: Straighten out the S curve at the top of Glenshire drive and reduce the 9% road slope in that area. Widen Glenshire drive from Hirschdale all the way to town and provide a bike lane of considerable width to reduce traffic through alternative transportation. The best mitigation is to sell the property to the land trust and stop depleting our natural resources are Truckee. Thanks for accepting my input.

While I don’t have specific data, I would guess that approximately one-half of the Glenshire/Devonshire/Cambridge Estates/The Meadows/Juniper Hills vehicular traffic traveling to and from town passes by my home each day. This number increases when drivers from Reno chose to avoid the agriculture inspection station on highway 80—especially noticeable on snow days. The speed limit along Glenshire Drive in front of my home is 30mph, which is rarely adhered to. It is my opinion that even with the current traffic load(s) on Glenshire Drive, traffic is often high and dangerous for pedestrians, homeowners, and bicyclists. I and my family must take extreme care during snow-removal days at the foot of our driveway because of the heavy and fast-moving traffic. One quarter of a mile from my home, towards town, near the Glenshire Store, the traffic load essentially doubles where all traffic from the Glenshire area merges. It is my understanding that the additional 204 units proposed in the Canyon Springs Development would also use this already well-used portion of Glenshire Drive. I do not believe the Canyon Springs Development should move forward until a comprehensive and realistic plan is formulated to provide for an alternative travel route accessing this development other than Glenshire Drive.

The development could add traffic mitigating measures such as the proposed idea of a roundabout at the intersection of Glenshire and Dorchester at the South entrance. ( I volunteered on the traffic mitigating committee a few years back and this was on the table as well as speed reducing measures for some of the high traffic roadways, both of which would be positive additions, even without Canyon Springs.) 2. The development will add numbers to the Glenshire population thus intriguing potential businesses and making a case for developing Knights Crossing. (Previously there has been difficulty getting businesses, especially a restaurant operation, to commit because of the low number of residents and therefore no guarantee of enough revenue for long term viability, so this project has stalled, frustrating the majority of Glenshire residents.) 3. The development will bring more people and more tax revenue to the town to enable, if managed correctly, a sustainable budget which will hopefully will be used for needed upgrades downtown that have been deferred because of lack of resources..I am speaking directly to the ridiculous painting of the sidewalk from commercial row to Brickletown which should have never been considered (it’s already worn off) and instead should have been done right the first time with unit pavers appropriate for longevity and conveying the right look for our downtown. We are going to need resources to keep the existing merchants well visited when the Holiday project is completed and this is going to mean a serious overhaul to the existing pedestrian corridor . We need to start gathering and saving for our future or the downtown will be so shabby it will look like West River does now compared to the newness of Holiday’s section. 4. The development of Canyon Springs is not development for development’s sake. It is part of the general plan originally laid out when Glenshire Devonshire was conceived and we need to build on that rather than break new ground in areas non adjacent to areas of similar use. It makes good sense from a planning perspective and it makes good sense from a business perspective, even if it doesn’t make good sense from an emotional perspective. That is why the people in charge are educated planners and not emotional nimbies. Please put the radical 2% aside and look at what is good for the majority, even if the majority is not as vocal or litigious.

The project is zoned for this use and should be allowed to go forward based on the zoning. The development could add traffic mitigating measures such as the proposed idea of a roundabout at the intersection of Glenshire and Dorchester at the South entrance. We need additional developer fees to help maintain the roads and improve the traffic patterns. 2.

The development will bring more people and more tax revenue to the town to enable, if managed correctly, a sustainable budget which will hopefully will be used for needed upgrades downtown that have been deferred because of lack of resources. Why was the town allowed to paint pedestrian crosswalks when developers were mandated by the planning department to only use brick pavers for same?

traffic related to the proposed Canyon Springs development.  The only entrance to  our development, Martis Peak Road., would be shared as the only access to the new  development.  That concern is still a major one for us.  While there are currently  approximately 200 trips per day on Martis Peak Road off Glenshire Drive, depending  on the number of multi‐family dwellings and secondary dwellings on the proposed  185 lots, this number will increase dramatically.  We request that the Town study  the impact of the increased traffic at that intersection as well as along the section of  Glenshire Drive between Hirschdale and Martis Peak Road.  This is a section of road  that is already difficult in winter and has seen many issues related to drivers  travelling with excessive speed throughout the year.  Traffic studies should also  include potential additional development in the area, specifically in the adjacent  eel (Raley’s) property.  MPHOA requests an opportunity to review and comment  n all related raffic studies.   T o t

Springs and adjacent areas in the case of an emergency such as a wildfire.  We ask  that careful study be given to the ability of residents to escape in the worst case  scenario, as well as the ability of emergency personal to gain access to the area.   When the last major wildfire hit the area, it forced the closure of I80.  How would a

NOP of EIR proposed Canyon Springs 10-016/TM This letter has been approved by the Glenshire Devonshire Residents Association Board of Directors who represent the owners of 1,357 parcels with a 80% year round occupancy rate. The Glenshire area is contiguous to this proposed development and is down stream of traffic and water flows and as such stands to have the highest potential impact to the largest group of people. The following are some of the concerns that have high impacts and mitigation of these areas needs to be addressed in this process: Traffic:  How will it be addressed that all construction traffic may not access Canyon Springs through the residential area of Glenshire? Construction traffic in particular has a large impact on air, noise and visual pollution as well as making the roads unsafe for pedestrian and bicycle use.  A need for a solution to Donner Pass road and Glenshire Drive issue. (already can be impacted at certain times (7am to 9am normal schedule school days, 3pm to 6 pm weekdays) Line site and speed on Donner Pass East bound are a particular concern.  How to prevent safety issues at Dorchester Drive and Glenshire Drive (both East and West intersections)  How to prevent safety issues at White Horse and Glenshire Drive (line site, speed)  A need to address Glenshire Drive from White Horse to Highway 80. (narrow width of this road combined with sharp turns and steep grade is not conducive for increased traffic) �� Would the increase in traffic discourage alternative transportation such as bicycles and or walking and how would this issue be mitigated? (GHG s, air quality, visual and noise impact of additional traffic) �� How would the Safety of Bicycle and pedestrian traffic due to increased traffic be addressed? (Possibly a class 2 bike lanes on Glenshire Drive through the Glenshire subdivision and Dorchester Drive ?) �� Due to the narrowness of the Somerset / Courtenay / Regency and especially Edinburgh Drive any additional traffic would be a safety issue. How is Edinburgh planed to be kept as an emergency gate remain closed to all motor vehicle traffic except Emergency vehicles in Perpetuity ? �� What are the impacts to the emergency evacuation plan for the Glenshire area? Is an updated Emergency evacuation plan going to be included? �� What are the current traffic Level of Service? �� What are the projected traffic LOS upon full occupation of all existing lots accessed by Glenshire Drive? (including Elkhorn Ridge and The Bluffs) �� What will the traffic LOS be after full occupation of Canyon Springs? On Glenshire Drive? At Key intersections during peak traffic flows? (Weekdays during normal school schedule with inclement weather 7am to 9am and 3pm to 6pm) Hydrology and Water Quality impacts: �� How are the impacts of development and increased land use by a larger population in this proposed development going to impact the water quality, riparian habitats, and sediments that flow into the Glenshire Lake? Glenshire HOA would like to see the entire course of the main drainage from the proposed development to the Glenshire Lake studied with possible mitigation requirements to include this entire section including the pond. Has the possibly of working with Truckee River Watershed Council on increasing the health of this watershed. �� How are the concerns with any properties that are downhill of the development with possible increased watershed? In particular there are flooding concerns with properties along South Eastern Glenshire Drive. Population and Housing:  How are concerns with increased population and traffic over the initial proposed amounts if residents area allowed to build secondary units, or turn their homes into duplexes? Would there be restrictions against such practices? Wildlife:  What are the impacts to wildlife and particular the deer herd?  How are the impacts of vehicle and human traffic being addressed in the planned area as well as the surrounding areas? Other areas of concern:  What will the accumulated impacts of a project planed over 8 years be?  What will the impacts on the basic services (police, fire, sewer, water, school, school bussing, snow removal etc) be?  How will the increased need for snow removal be funded?  How is the issue of environmental impacts due to “ghost streets” (roads with no residents and the associated dumping, illegal off road access and mischievous behavior) going to be addressed?  How will the current view shed be changed?

Canyon Springs, the former TahoeBoca estates project, is yet another example of greedy developement attempting to destroy our town, our wildlife corridor, our open space, and our lives in the interest of making a buck. But in this case, like it was in years previous, it is most disheartening to see the people in our town hall thinking of approving this stupid, yes it is stupid, project. The most recent project in this area, Cambridge five, destroyed open space to create lots for homes. Currently, the first home built four years ago now, is not sold. In fact it never sold. 5 homes have been built and the rest were in bankruptcy. The area had more use when nothing was on it than it has since. How many projects do we need to have in bankruptcy in this town. How many empty subdivisions are needed. When you destroyed the water table in Prosser with Greys Crossing, did you people feel any guilt? You did it and if I lived there you would have heard much louder cries for foul and a law suit that would never end. If it happens again here, I will empty my wallet to make you and the developers pay and keep paying. This area is miles from town. The access will be on a steep grade. The homes will be as close to tract homes as can be done here, please...do we really need them. I know you will approve it anyway but at least I have said my peace. Since becoming a town, Truckee has shown us that the new wealthy can buy what they wish, even if it only serves their pocket books. How about making them foot the bill for the new pool facilities at the Rec Center. At least that would show us you care about the taxpayers a little bit.     May 23, 2011    Denyelle Nishimori  ent Dept.  Associate Planner   Developm ort Road  Truckee Community 0183 Truckee Airp1

roads (reference the MPHOA Board’s letter of May 23, 2011). Though I am speaking  as an individual property owner and not on the behalf of the MPHOA, I am confident  that I speak for a number of Martis Peak property owners that our concerns around  the Canyon Springs development go far beyond roads and traffic to the impact of  this development on the lifestyle we sought when coming to the Truckee area.  We  equest that the Town carefully consider the following issues in the EIR for Canyon  prings.  r S   Traffic  On July 25, 2010, Craig Wilson of the MPHOA, sent a letter to the Town expressing  our concerns over traffic related to the proposed Canyon Springs development.  The  only entrance to our development, Martis Peak Road, would be shared as the only  access to the new development.  That concern is still a major one for us.  While there  are currently approximately 200 trips per day on Martis Peak Road off Glenshire  Drive, depending on the number of multi‐family dwellings and secondary dwellings  on the proposed 185 lots, this number will increase dramatically.  We request that  the Town study the impact of the increased traffic at that intersection as well as  along the section of Glenshire Drive between Hirschdale and Martis Peak Road.  This  is a section of road that is already difficult in winter and has seen many issues  related to drivers travelling with excessive speed throughout the year.  Traffic  studies should also include potential additional development in the area, specifically  n the adjacent Teel (Raley’s) property, which appears to already be in the planning  tage.    i s   Public Safety  We ask that the Town consider the impact of the increasing density and limited  access/exit options for residents in Glenshire, The Meadows, Martis Peak, Canyon  Springs and adjacent areas in the case of an emergency such as a wildfire.  We ask  that careful study be given to the ability of residents to escape in the worst case  scenario, as well as the ability of emergency personnel to gain access to the area.   When the last major wildfire hit the area, it forced the closure of I‐80.  How would a  similar scenario impact access/exit with an additional 185+ households using  Glenshire Drive only?  We also request that due examination be given to any  increased danger of wildfire during and after construction.    On­Going Construction  The Canyon Springs plan has called for multiple phases (8) over a long period of  time (up to 20 years).  We are concerned about the long‐term impact on road quality  from the constant use by heavy equipment and trucks as well as a potential 20  summers of construction noise from the area.  What will be the impacts of noise,  debris and construction equipment on those of us who will be neighbors to the  development?       Open Space  The Town has historically promoted the continued availability of open space.   Recognizing that the Canyon Springs land is private property, the development will  eliminate a large amount of what is currently perceived as open space by residents  of Glenshire and adjacent neighborhoods.  The area has been popular for hiking,  biking and skiing and there are simply not a lot of alternatives in the area.  We  equest that the Town determine the impact of the development on land available  or recreational use by Truckee area residents.  r f   Wildlife Migration  The California Department of Fish and Game along with the Nevada Department of  Wildlife have embarked on a study of Mule Deer migration to assess the impact of  the project on a herd that has already been hit hard by development, drought and  wildfire.  Their initial data will be available in 2012.  We suggest that in no case  should this development proceed in advance of those findings being made available  to the Town.    Carbon Neutral Development  It is time for Truckee and Nevada County to take the lead in environmentally  conscious development.  The idea of carbon neutral development is becoming a  reality in communities across the US and Europe.  The Truckee area would be a  great place to promote new development concepts that will help in sustaining our  environment and the special lifestyle that the area now affords us.  We suggest that  the Town work with environmental groups, developers and homeowner  associations to study, explore and promote innovative approaches that would allow  for continued development without negatively impacting our community.    We request that the EIR for Canyon Springs includes an analysis, both during  construction as well as after development is completed, of the impact on air and  water quality and on greenhouse gas emissions over the long term.  We suggest that  the EIR includes a definition of requirements for the project (and any other project  in the Town) to include an alternate plan to define and achieve the goal of carbon  neutral development.  This could include reduction in density, use of recycled  materials, requirements for energy efficient construction, use of alternate energy  sources throughout the project, replacement of all natural vegetation, requirements  for significant amounts of open space and hundreds of other options that are being  explored and utilized elsewhere.  Home Values   Home prices in Truckee have been hit extremely hard in the last two years.  We all  know this and the trend has not abated.  The decrease in median selling price in  Truckee dropped another 11% from Q1 2010 to Q1 2011.  There are still significant  numbers of bank owned homes, which will continue to negatively affect property  values.  At the same time recent developments like Grays Crossing and Elkhorn  Ridge are largely vacant.  While we recognize that an economic impact study might  ot be part of the EIR, we ask that the Town provide a detailed analysis of the  mpact of the development on the values of homes in the surrounding areas.   n i   Neil Blumenfield  0605 Belford Place

Truckee CA 96161 Dear Denyelle, I am writing in response to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Scoping Process for the Proposed Canyon Springs Development. As part of the EIR Scoping Process, I would like to have the following questions and concerns addressed in the EIR for Canyon Springs: A. Land Use & Planning; Population, Employment, Housing 1. As far as I know, this parcel has not been reviewed for its land use designation and zoning since the Town incorporated in the early 1990s. This parcel’s land use designation changed upon its turnover from Nevada County jurisdiction to the Town of Truckee jurisdiction. It had a significantly lower zoning designation under Nevada County (approx. 80 units total) and the Town of Truckee up-zoned the property upon incorporation (.5-1 unit per acre). As a former Planning Commissioner from 2003- 2007, I requested that this parcel be evaluated as part of the Land Use piece of the General Plan during the General Plan Update process. My request was denied and I was told that since the parcel had an “active application” the town could not re- evaluate the parcel at that time. The community has not had an opportunity to re- evaluate this parcel to be consistent with the current vision and goals of Truckee since 1996. I request that this application be put on hold until the community has had the opportunity to re-evaluate this parcel to be consistent with the current vision and goals of the updated General Plan. 2. As this parcel comprises part of the eastern boundary of the Town of Truckee with Nevada County I am concerned that the growth inducing impacts caused by this project will result in additional growth in this area. I believe this project qualifies as sprawl due to its peripheral location and is at odds with the vision of the Town of Truckee. Growth for growth’s sake is counter to our goals outlined in the General Plan 2025. Please address how this large-scale housing development does not contribute to growth inducing impacts, such as overpopulation and could possibly be considered a benefit to the community. 3. In addressing the affordable housing requirements per the Town of Truckee Housing Element, the project applicant mistakenly implies in his marketing materials he receives additional density beyond the .5-1 unit/acre zoning to meet the required 15% affordable units or lots. I believe the applicant is required to include the affordable units as part of the total allowable density. Additional density can be achieved with additional affordable units, but this is not what the applicant is proposing. Please clarify what the affordable housing requirements are specifically for this development. 4. With regards to affordable unit requirements, the applicant is proposing 27 units, however he should be offering 32 affordable lots/units as part of the 15% requirement of 213 total lots. Please explain how the applicant is addressing the town’s policies with regards to Affordable Housing. 5. The project applicant proposes to offer multi-unit lots (3-4 units per parcel) in this single family housing development as a way to address his affordable housing requirement. The Truckee Housing Element expresses the community’s desire to keep like with like. This means that in a single family housing development it is not in keeping with our town’s housing and community character goals to offer a much different style of housing for the affordable units. Please explain how this project proposal is not at odds with the goals outlined in the General Plan Update 2025. 6. As the mother of a student at Glenshire Elementary I have seen first-hand the impact of crowding on our classrooms and the lack of necessary financial and administrative resources. While the project applicant promotes their payment of required school fees as a benefit to the community, I would like to see how this project is a net benefit to the school system and not another drain on inadequate resources. B. Transportation, Circulation & Parking 1. The previous owners of Canyon Springs had their DEIR traffic study completed during non-school year period. The traffic levels are significantly lower, especially in the neighborhoods in close proximity to this parcel during the non- school year period. I request that the traffic study for this EIR be completed during the school year and not during a holiday period. 2. While the project applicant proposes to keep the Edinburgh access gated except during an emergency I would like the EIR to address what the impacts will be on the roads that connect to Edinburgh during an emergency if all traffic is diverted this way. 3. Although the project applicant is proposing to keep the only active access to the project at the Martis Peak Road entrance, I don’t imagine the residents will use Hirschdale Drive and Interstate 80 as their preferred route to downtown Truckee as it adds at least 10 extra minutes to the travel time. What will the impacts be to the intersections along Glenshire Drive if most, if not all of the traffic is directed down Glenshire Drive into Truckee? 4. What will happen if this project receives entitlements prior to the Railyard Development completing its required improvements to the Glenshire Drive/Donner Pass Road intersection? The intersection is already failing or close to failing without the added growth of either of these developments. C. Hydrology & Water Quality 1. The proposed development crosses a number of significant waterways. I am concerned about the degradation not only to the surrounding soils and habitat, but also to the water quality. Please address how the heavy equipment and construction methods required to build the bridges and infrastructure will avoid impacting and forever damaging the surrounding environment. 2. If the project is allowed to move forward with its infrastructure development, ie. roads, bridges, utilities, etc. prior to the construction of homes, please address how the run-off will be managed without the permeable surfaces that existed prior to the application of paving and utilities. D. Utilities 1. The citizens of Glenshire/Devonshire are currently paying a $10.75 surcharge to their water bill due to the cost of bringing the water quality up to standard when higher than safe levels of arsenic were discovered. Will the citizens of Glenshire/Devonshire and beyond be faced with additional fees to accommodate the water needs and impacts of the 213 or more additional homesites? 2. An electrical substation is currently located on or in close proximity to the Canyon Springs parcel. Has an evaluation been performed to determine whether or not this is damaging to the health of our citizens and the natural environment? E. Public Services 1. In the event of another catastrophic fire please address how emergency services can adequately serve this large scale development in addition to the existing homesites in Glenshire/Devonshire, the Meadows, Cambridge Estates, Juniper Hills, Juniper Creek, Sierra Bluffs and Elkhorn Ridge. F. Project Alternatives 1. In addition to the “No Project” Alternative, I would like to request the following Project Alternatives be reviewed: i. Transfer appropriate density from this project to a site in the town core and conserve the property as open space/non-motorized recreation in perpetuity. ii. Modify the zoning to .25 units/acre. Allow 25 homes situated in proximity to the entrance to Martis Peak Road. Cluster the homes and allow for the remaining acreage to be maintained as undeveloped open space. iii. Modify the zoning to .5 units/acre but restrict the development from crossing any waterways or creating any bridges. iv. No decrease in current zoning designation but require a ¾ buildout of homes prior to the construction of any additional infrastructure on subsequent phases. G. Other 1. Although an economic analysis of possible community impacts is not always performed as part of the EIR process I am requesting that an economic study be performed to evaluate the impacts this development could have on our community. Housing values are at an all time low. We are currently surrounded by housing developments that sit idle, with few homes built and many undeveloped parcels. In Glenshire alone there is Elkhorn Ridge, adjacent to Canyon Springs and Sierra Bluffs at the western edge of Glenshire. Grays Crossing, Old Greenwood, Donner Crest are some of the recently approved housing developments that are far from build-out. The Master Plan for the Railyard development in downtown Truckee has been approved and has yet to begin construction. I appreciate the opportunity to have my questions and concerns addressing during this EIR scoping period for the proposed Canyon Springs development. Thank you.

How will the existing residents be protected from adverse emotional and economic impacts, e.g. bare land, excessive pavement, lost trees, declined home values due to glut of inventory? Air Quality We interested in the air quality impacts during all of the construction phases, especially the initial infrastructure? How will this be kept to a minimum? How will the excess construction traffic dust be kept from impacting wildlife habitat? Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions With such a large development, we see this negatively inevitably impacting GHG Emissions. Will the development be reduced in order to address this issue? Biological Resources/Wetlands We understand there is a migration deer corridor through these parcels. How will the deer be kept from being forced out further east so that there is no migration corridor left for them to use? How will unnecessary tree cutting be guaranteed? Hydrology It appears the natural drainage disturbance from Elkhorn Ridge development is adversely impacting the streams, Glenshire Lake and the Truckee River by causing algae blooms and buildup of various deposits. What will be done to keep additional drainage from going through Elkhorn? How will the streams, lake and downhill residences be safe? How will toxic flow onto parcels below the development be mitigated? Noise How will all of the residents within range of the project be protected from ongoing noise pollution during the initial infrastructure, as well as all phases? How will the duration of the phases be minimized? Many here suffered significant long-term distress from Elkhorn infrastructure noise. How will the wildlife be protected from adverse impacts from significant noise/vibrations? Most deer, coyote, birds and other animals flee when startled by loud noise. Will infrastructure construction and other phases halt during fawning and post fawning season, so the fawns don’t get separated from their mothers? Transportation Courtenay Lane and Lance Drive, including branching streets, are already significantly suffering from increased traffic dangers through Elkhorn. Infrastructure traffic was/is dangerous to children and pets. How will Canyon Springs keep from continuing and increasing this dangerous situation? How will it be guaranteed that Elkhorn roads won’t be utilized during this project in order to keep the traffic hazards from increasing? How will the residents on all affected streets in and around Glenshire be protected from increased traffic due to construction and future increased residency? Utilities Heavy trucks during infrastructure of adjacent development previously ruptured water lines in front of one property on Canterbury Lane. How will it be insured that the residences downhill from Canyon Springs won’t be impacted by broken water pipes or sewage lines? And how will the wetlands be protected from these inevitable occurrences? Construction Phasing It’s understood the construction will take over 20 or more years to build out. Why would any project be proposed or accepted that will make such a significant adverse impact over that many years from noise, traffic, air quality, wildlife and many other hazards? Alternatives Analysis We feel this dense and long-term construction project as proposed imposes too many significant hazards to the existing community and wildlife. Will there be serious consideration and research done toward the various options to a “no project”? The community should weigh in on this matter. There is significant community interest in seeing this land purchased and preserved as open/recreational space. There are enough interested parties to facilitate resources toward this outcome. Why not allow ample time for that to be worked on before more of our environmental resources are permanently taken way without considerable efforts for this alternative? Another alternative would be to have not more than a 20 larger parcel cluster crossing no wetlands. Thank you for the opportunity in this process.

I am against this project for several ressons: 1. It will increase the traffic on Martis Peak Road and Glenshire Drive. 2. It will eliminate needed open space. 3. The last thing Truckee needs right now is more housing. Thank you very much, Ted Thompson, Martis Peak Homeowner May 22, 2011 From:Susan Beauchamp To:Denyelle Nishimori Subject:Town of Truckee: News & Updates Date:Sunday, May 22, 2011 5:34:48 PM You have received this link of Town of Truckee from: Susan Beauchamp <suebeauchamp@yahoo.com> http://townoftruckee.com/index.aspx?page=21&recordid=777 I am extremely concerned that the additional traffic created by the Canyon Springs development will increase hazards at the intersection of Martis Peak/Whitehorse Roads and Glenshire Drive as well all roads leading to Edinburgh Drive. How will these hazards be mitigated or reduced? I am also concerned about the bridge Canyon Springs will provide for development to the east. I would like a study to be preformed regarding the long term growth impact created by Canyon Springs. Can the Glenshire/Devonshire and surrounding communities withstand this long-term impact to traffic, roads, utilities, fire safety evacuation, water quality/availibity, etc.? Sincerely, Susan Beauchamp suebeauchamp123@yahoo.com Susan Beauchamp From:Perry Norris To:Denyelle Nishimori Cc:Chip Huck Subject:A comment on Canyon Springs Date:Monday, May 23, 2011 8:27:11 PM Truckee Donner Land Trust does not endorse or oppose proposed developments, so the following comments are intended to be neutral. The land planned for the Canyon Springs development is of course currently open space. This property is the Town’s eastern boundary and is contiguous to natural lands to the east, north and south. These lands, including the property proposed for development, may provide important habitat for the beleaguered Verdi deer heard. Significant efforts, including a study currently underway and the acquisition of Waddle Ranch, have been made to ensure the survival of the herd. The study, undertaken by the California Department of Fish and Game, is important, should be included in the DEIR, and assist in guiding the Town’s decision making regarding this project. The study will help determine the importance, or unimportance, of the property as migratory deer habitat. Finally, if the Land Trust can play a role in this project, benefitting the community and the property owners, we are eager to help. Perry Norris Executive Director 530-582-4711 T. 530-582-5528 F. www.tdlandtrust.org From:Corky Carr & Sabine Endriss To:Denyelle Nishimori Subject:re: NO TO CANYON SPRINGS Date:Monday, May 23, 2011 9:12:42 AM We would wholeheartedly voice our "NO TO CANYON SPRINGS DEVELOPMENT". Truckee does not need any more sprawling developments with homes that no one will buy, developments that will negatively alter the local environment, populace and wildlife. We see no "positives" with regard to this development, just more air pollution, traffic, negative affects on wildlife. NO!! Sabine Endriss & Keith Carr 10822 Whitehorse Rd.

How will the flow of traffic be maintained with the “slow-moving” construction vehicles on Glenshire Drive, a two-lane road? How will an increase in heavy construction affect the structural integrity of the roads in the Glenshire Subdivision including the portion of Glenshire Drive to I-80? How will the road quality (and any degradation thereof) be addressed before, during and after construction, and will the developer be required to take financial responsibility for any damages and any road modifications? In addition, how will safety be addressed with the increase in heavy equipment driving on our roads? Assuming a study would take in account the construction traffic on Glenshire Drive, consideration should reflect the limitation of ALL construction and contractor (including subs) vehicles to the portion of Glenshire Drive between I-80 and the Martis Peak and Whitehorse intersection. It should reflect the above-stated impacts and concerns. If this was a proposed mitigation measure, how would it be enforced? Also, more residential traffic would most likely take Glenshire Drive west to get back to Town versus the hassle of dealing with the construction vehicles travelling east towards I-80, and this should be taken in account. The proposed development is suggesting that residents utilize Glenshire Drive to I-80. When I-80 is closed due to accidents or snow storms, how will residents be able to get to their destination? If Glenshire Drive to Donner Pass Road is an alternate route in one of these scenarios, will the flow of traffic be studied? It should include any traffic that would normally stay on I-80 but due to closure, ends up utilizing the Hirschdale exit to Glenshire Drive. This includes large transport trucks. While the developers indicate that the use of Glenshire Drive to I-80 will be promoted, there will be an increase of traffic towards Donner Pass Road. How will homeowners along Glenshire Drive be able to exit/enter their driveways safely? Density From a layperson’s standpoint, it appears that the proposed density (regardless of the “clustering” concept) is extreme and that in large part this will influence how harsh the development is on the adjacent community members and wildlife. I would be interested in an alternative proposal with the density reduced to less than 25%, thereby eliminating required infrastructure crossing the wetlands and maintaining open land for the continued wildlife migration. Any studies (e.g., traffic) should take in account full build-out with the inclusion of a significant number of second units, i.e., 50% not 20%. Drainage It’s my understanding that it is common for domestic water and sewage line leakage over time. How will this be prevented so that leaks or backflow will not end up in the wetlands and watershed, including nearby waterways such as Juniper Creek, the Truckee River and Glenshire Lake. How will residents residing downhill from the proposed development be protected from mold or other damages caused by potential sewage leaks and other flooding due to this development? How would residents incurring any such damages recover monetarily? How would any contaminated runoff or erosion be minimized from entering the various waterways? How would any digging under riparian habitat be mitigated? Wildlife Migration There are frequent deer and other wildlife crossing Glenshire Drive and Hirschdale from/to The Meadows and Teel properties. With increase of traffic on Glenshire Drive to I-80, how will the increase potential of wildlife and vehicular collisions be mitigated? How would the existing and well-known deer migration corridor over the project site and adjacent areas be protected? How would dogs be prevented from harassing deer and other wildlife? Night Skies Given the proposed density of the development, naturally there will be an increase of lighting. How much more lighting from both residents and any potentially required traffic lights will occur? How will this be kept to a minimum to keep our Truckee night skies protected? Overflight and Annoyance Given the proximity of the airport, there may aircraft flying overhead (i.e., emergency aircraft, aircraft arriving/departing Rwy19-1, IFR flight into Rwy 19 and tow plane activity). It is my understanding that the airport district encourages the use of Rwy 19-1 during calm winds. What resident disclosures and building mitigation would occur to deter complaints from new residents of the proposed development? Phasing and Mitigation Measures What guarantees will be in place to ensure construction of the infrastructure of the various phases of the subdivision in a timely manner? The last thing Truckee needs is another unfinished subdivision. What entity will be responsible for maintenance of the infrastructure (streets, utilities, drainage, revegetation, etc.) before the improvements are accepted by the local agencies? Will there be the ability to modify the conditions of approval if the mitigation measures proposed in the EIR are found to be ineffective? Jobs The developers are indicating that there will be job opportunities. This is a short-term benefit compared to the long-term impacts and degradation to the surrounding environment, and should be taken into consideration. In addition, observing current local jobs sites, there are numerous out-of-state license plates on the various construction vehicles. How would these proposed jobs be maintained locally? Health and Wellbeing It is no secret that numerous community members have been and continue to be distressed and stressed by the proposed development. It is my understanding that the development is to be phased in over a twenty year period. How will the adverse impacts and annoyance from the proposed development be minimized on the adjacent-residing community members during this extended period of time? Will this take in account future development on the adjacent Teel property? How can the project timeframe be accelerated to reduce the various adverse impacts and stress on both residents and wildlife? How can the initial infrastructure construction time period be minimized (to one year), to help mitigate the long term adverse impacts and stress on both residents and wildlife?

CS is a questionable development from a number of aspects - increased vehicle traffic, all varieties of pollution, a housing glut in Truckee, home values that will purportedly decline for at least another year, road maintenance, utilities installation, fire suppression, open space, a deer herd, archaeological sites, and (initially) cavalier developers for starters. This EIR needs to be exhaustive. The prospects of short term jobs (from which my employer and I would actually likely benefit) is the single biggest reason anyone locally supports the project, but that's not what it takes to pass muster, last I checked with the General Plan. CS doesn't really fit with it either. Sure, CS is technically within town limits, but it's at the far edge. It's sprawl. It extends east beyond all but a handful of houses. Sure, there will be short term construction work, but the subsequent, even larger housing glut will additionally diminish existing home values (I live in Tahoe Donner and recognize this as an outsider). In fact, the Town should take the CS proposal as an opportunity to co/conduct an updated economic study of the housing market here (and not just rely on ordinary residents' "opinions" on CS's and similar developments' effects on home values, or say, dollars spent per student upon the project's buildout). Why not include, as part of, or in addition to the EIR, the project applicants' financial claims? New construction is not inexpensive. I understand (perhaps incorrectly) that there is an ongoing study of the resident deer herd. I would encourage the EIR to be deemed incomplete without the results of that study. Glenshire is full of families, and the construction-related air and groundwater pollution will be significant. Emissions must be addressed in the EIR - Glenshire is far from town. Vehicle traffic is already ridiculous. What will these vehicle emissions mean for the Truckee river? How about a traffic study done a several times throughout the year instead of all at once? An average seems a better number to base things on. Will there be trails accessible when folks start moving in? Year round? How many bridges will need to be built? How what kinds of impacts will bridges have on water quality? Please hold such a questionable project to the highest standard. Consider the will of Truckee residents and neighbors. Ask the project applicants to at least begin designing appropriate, stout homes - places with passive solar, for example as it's an alpen environment here. Employ the sun! Consider the environmental impacts of inappropriately designed homes that fail to utilize the sun to minimize heating costs and improve a home's livability throughout the year. Perhaps most importantly, however - expand the scope of the EIR to include a detailed new study of the housing market in Truckee to prove that this will not be a project that devalues neighboring home markets. A sincere thanks for your time and consideration, Ronnie Colby Truckee, CA May 23, 2011 From: Nancy Richards, POB 10362 Truckee, CA 96162 nancycrichards@yahoo.com To: Denyelle Nishimori, Town of Truckee Community Development RE: Notice of Preparation of the Draft Environmental Impact Report, Canyon Springs Subdivision (Application No. 10-106/TM) Dear Denyelle, As a resident of Truckee, I would like to submit the following comments for the official record. The Canyon Springs EIR should evaluate the energy related impacts of the projects and how the project will be designed to facilitate meeting the State’s zero-net-energy goals for all new residential construction by year 2020 and how the project will contribute to the reduction of vehicle miles traveled in the region and within the Town of Truckee. Please include in the analysis how the project meets the requirements of the California Solar Rights Act comprising the following California sections of law: California Civil Code Sections 714 and 714.1, California Civil Code Section 801, California Civil Code Section 801.5, California Government Code Section 65850.5, California Health and Safety Code Section 17959.1, California Government Code Section 66475.3 and, California Government Code Section 66473.1. Please give particular attention to providing a detailed analysis of how the design of the subdivision provides to the extent feasible for future passive and natural heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision as required by California Government Code Section 66473.1: CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66473.1 (a) The design of a subdivision for which a tentative map is required pursuant to Section 66426 shall provide, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision. (b) (1) Examples of passive or natural heating opportunities in subdivision design, include design of lot size and configuration to permit orientation of a structure in an east-west alignment for southern exposure. (2) Examples of passive or natural cooling opportunities in subdivision design include design of lot size and configuration to permit orientation of a structure to take advantage of shade or prevailing breezes. (c) In providing for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the design of a subdivision, consideration shall be given to local climate, to contour, to configuration of the parcel to be divided, and to other design and improvement requirements, and that provision shall not result in reducing allowable densities or the percentage of a lot that may be occupied by a building or structure under applicable planning and zoning in effect at the time the tentative map is filed. (d) The requirements of this section do not apply to condominium projects which consist of the subdivision of airspace in an existing building when no new structures are added. (e) For the purposes of this section, "feasible" means capable of being accomplished successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social and technological factors. Also provide a detailed evaluation of how the subdivision will meet the Truckee General Plan’s policies regarding energy efficiency, energy conservation and solar subdivision design including the analysis of the solar potential of individual lots.   Also, The EIR should thoroughly evaluate greenhouse gas emissions on and off site and provide an analysis of how the project will contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the Truckee jurisdiction. Please refer to the CEQA Guidelines Amendments adopted Dec 30, 2009, effective March 18, 2010. http://ceres.ca.gov/ceqa/guidelines/ The EIR should also provide an analysis of carbon sequestration impacts onsite associated with tree and vegetation removal and long term management of retained trees and vegetation.   Craig & Jody Poe 16241 Edinburgh Dr Truckee, CA 96161 Phone 530.550.0891 cjpoe@mac.com May 23, 2011 Denyelle Nishimori, Associate Planner, Truckee Community Development Department: We are homeowners directly adjacent to the proposed Canyon Springs development. We are aware that the process for preparing the Environmental Impact Report is underway. We would like to have our many concerns about the project considered in the report. Will the project have a direct and negative impact on the exisiting wildlife in the area – including habitat and migration paths? How will the project impact the existing watershed including seasonal runoff? How much additional traffic and noise will be generated as a result of the project? Are additional housing units necessary given the volume of inventory that currently exists? What will the impacts to schools be? What will the immediate and long-term impacts to roads (Edinburgh Dr, Regency Cir, Courtney Lane, Somerset Dr and Glenshire Dr) and infrastructure be? Regards, Craig and Jody Poe From:Janet Silver To:Denyelle Nishimori Subject:Canyon Springs EIR Scoping Concerns Date:Monday, May 23, 2011 5:01:59 PM Dear Denyelle: This is my third letter to be written to the Town concerning development, which in this latest chapter, is known as "Canyon Springs." My family lives at the intersection of Whitehorse, Martis Peak and Glenshire Drive. This is an extremely dangerous intersection that has been also noted in several several letters to the Town to be addressed/studied in the proposed EIR. It is ludicrous to think that there would only be 1 access point to this development via Martis Peak Road. Glenshire was never designed to handle this kind of traffic. However, since traffic will be addressed in the EIR, one point I would like to be addressed is the lack of adherence to the posted speed limits within Glenshire. I would like the EIR to measure the average speed cars are traveling on Glenshire Drive and side roads, in addition to the amount of traffic. Since I live front, point & center to the intersection in question, I would estimate the rate of speed to be 40 mph instead of the posted 25. Cars have a tendency to speed up as they travel east on Glenshire Drive towards the freeway. I will pull out of my driveway after carefully looking both ways a couple of times, only to pull out and discover a vehicle right on my tail, including vehicles traveling west. Even the school buses. Everyone. Adding more speeding traffic? A horrible thought. I would also like the EIR to address, if possible, the current occupancy rate in Glenshire, Cambridge Estates, the Meadows, Elkhorn Ridge, Sierra Bluffs and Glenshire (including the remaining build-able lots), i.e. - what is the remaining build-able lots and how many homes are unoccupied in our area. Let's consider in-fill, not more sprawl. Thank you. Janet Silver 17086 Glenshire Drive Truckee, CA 96161 (530) 582-7059
