Hello Danyelle,,
I am writing today to express my enduring opposition to the Canyon Springs project that has been
eternally proposed in the Glenshire area of our town. As you might infer I live in Glenshire and have
so for 14 years. I have lived in the Tahoe Truckee area for 30 years. I have watched bad projects
come and go. I have watched both good building happen and bad building happen. Bad building has
been happening in the Truckee area for many years now. Not all of it is bad but much of it is. I
continue to see building for the sake of keeping people employed, which is good, but not for anything
else but line the pockets of the town. The town has way too many vacant lots and scantly developed
subdivisions now. Allowing developers to tear up the open space in our town simply because you are
afraid of saying no is getting old. We do not need another subdivision.We have plenty of vacant ones
now. The open space we have is rapidly disappearing in the name of developement. Canyon Springs
is a bad idea for this town. It is 8 miles from town and not going to do anything for the people that are
looking for affordable housing, such as it is. The type of people that need that housing need to be
closer to town with access that is not on a 9% grade. So where does that leave us. With 185 lots that
were developed and another bankrupt developer. I think most of the local residents are getting very
tired of this. That particular piece of land should not be developed as a subdivision. Did anyone
remind the town that it is a deer migration corridor? As if we don't have enough dead deer on
Glenshire drive now. A skateboard park would make more sense.
