Subject: Concerns for Donner Lake
Hello,
I'm writing as a concerned year round resident of the east end of Donner Lake in response to the
proposed "improvements" by the Tahoe Donner Association.
A party center does not belong on Donner Lake. Amplified music, weddings, large dining events will impact surrounding
neighbors, the lake, and the community. Tripling the eating area and constricting all boat launching and people to a 17
foot wide access route is unsafe and will compound traffic congestion by backing up traffic on Donner Pass Road.
Logging native trees and excavating steep slopes to install excessive lighting threatens the survival of the remaining trees.
Excessive polluted run-off from the site to the Lake and adjacent state park needs to be stopped, not increased by new
development.
Thank you for your time,
Reuben Shelton
