Subject: Joerger Ranch Specific Plan PC-3
Dear Denyelle,
My wife and I lived in downtown Truckee from 1974 to 1987, in Tahoe Donner from 2005 to 2008, and now on
10381 Reynold Way, from 2008 to present day. My wife and I are not happy about the proposed Joerger
Ranch Specific Plan PC‐3, being that our house is next to the fourth tee on the Ponderosa Golf Course and
close to the proposed project. I believe that myself and our neighbors would be negatively impacted by the
development of Parcels 1 through 6 and the widening and paving of proposed Martis Drive. This proposed
new development would produce pollution, noise and traffic congestion. At the end of construction, the
proposed industry at that site, would still produce pollution, noise and traffic congestion. Keep the industry
away from the neighborhoods.
Please note that the initial study of the PC‐3 plan, listed as, "Mandatory Findings of Significance" that have
potentially significant impact are,
1. Air quality.
2. Noise and traffic conditions.
3. Degrade the quality of the environment.
4. Substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species.
5. Cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self‐sustaining levels.
6. Threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community.
7. Reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or create cumulatively
considerable impacts.
8. Eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.
All of the above are considered POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT by the EIR.
Much of the area around the golf course is a neighborhood and I would like it to stay that way. If you must
develop, then build individual homes west of hwy 267 and keep the industrial development east of 267.
Sincerely,
David Beres
