Guiding Principles
How do we ensure the ongoing safety of operations at the Tahoe Truckee Airport. There appears to be little we can do to influence the amount of plane
traffic, location of flight paths, noise, and other nuisances the airport creates. Public safety is threatened due to the high altitude location. The number of
planes traveling in full time neighborhoods is putting everyone at risk.

SN-1
Zoning such as Upper McIver is at odds with this goal. Placing anyone, much less vulnerable people such as seniors in a heavily wooded, steep
topography adjacent to interstate 80 is not good planning. This location is vulnerable to impacts from climate change and should not have people living
on it. Additionally, we should not continue to encumber the wildlife habitats that utilize these lands for migration.

SN-8
The Glenshire neighborhood is consistently impacted by frequent and low flying planes. This creates excessive noise and nuisance. Our peaceful
mountain has not been the same for the last couple of years due to the plane traffic. This includes planes flying overhead from Reno and Carson City in
addition to the town.

Why do we have a policy discouraging the placement of noise sensitive uses, such as senior living, when we are actively proposing to put seniors on
Upper McIver. No development should occur on this site, but this policy is directly at odds with this zoning.

SN-8.16
We must do more than the status quo to address the flyover noise from the airport. What is being done is not enough as the traffic has gotten worse,
the flyovers are outside the established flight paths and the airport claims their hands are tied. Additionally, we must educate the pilots flying from Reno
and Carson City who have begun flying over Glenshire.
