RE: PC3 Draft EIR Comments
Dear Denyelle:
Because of my limited time I will make my comments very short and try not to repeat
comments that may have been submitted by others.
My concerns are that the Community Character Element of our General Plan is not being
followed; that our nightlight (dark sky) is likely to be negatively impacted; that natural beauty,
landscapes and resources are being compromised; and that historic resources not respected.
The project is simply too much and too big. It shows little concern for existing
neighborhoods, further degradation of quality life already impacted from noise of the airport,
Hwy 80, ever increasing traffic, noise and pollution from Hwy 267. I believe the plan fails to
adequately assess the negative aspects of peak traffic generated from the Northstar ski hill
operations, housing and entertainment of Northstar, Northstar’s plans for expansion, Placer
Counties plans for increased dwelling units, and existing natural and physical barriers to moving
people and traffic.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I support a very reduced plan, removal of the
“Roseville”/”Placer” County‐like density, removal of most of the industrial uses such as
distribution of spirits and auto sales, and preserving, albeit to a somewhat limited extent ,
the quality of life in the Truckee and Martis Valley areas that attracted most of my friends and
neighbors to living in this community.
Sincerely,
