To Whom It May Concern,
We have lived in Glenshire since 1999 and are proud to call it our home. This letter is to share our
comments and concerns regarding the adequacy of the DEIR for the proposed Canyon Springs housing
development.
We have a young child and one of us works at various schools in Truckee, thus commuting on Glenshire
Drive is frequent. The traffic that already exists can be overwhelming and in winter conditions Glenshire
Dr. can be ominous at best. The current DEIR did not take into consideration the cumulative impacts on
Glenshire Dr. and the DPR from Olympic Heights and the downtown core. The traffic studies need to
examine the collective impact for the entire region.
In addition, like most that live in Truckee, we spend most of our free time in the outdoors. We enjoy the
hiking trails in Glenshire as they are beautiful, easy to access, and the home of native wildlife. We are
often in awe of the wildlife that we encounter. We believe that we do not have sufficient evidence that
the areas adjacent to the development sites as well as the proposed development itself would not cause
destruction and intrusion to the sensitive wildlife that currently reside in this area. As it is known, this
project blocks a known deer migration corridor. The deer study data needs to be incorporated into DEIR,
as current analysis is not sufficient and updated.
Thank you for allowing me to address my concerns regarding the DEIR for Canyon Springs. Please feel
free to contact us with questions regarding our comments and concerns addressing the adequacy of the
DEIR.
Sincerely,
Dana and Paul Adams
