"Re: Pubic Hearing -Paradise Summit - TSM08-006 and PUD08-0001-January 25, 2011
agenda item 5.03
Butte County Board of Supervisors:
We support the Planning Department's recommendation that an Environmental Impact
Report be required for the Paradise Summit Project and that the Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) not be adopted. We live on Lago Vista Way, which would be severely
impacted by the project. While we support the conditions of use proposed in the MND,
especially those that would limit traffic on Lago Vista Way, we do not believe that the
mitigation measures would eliminate the significant impacts of such a large project. We
f
>
are concerned about the number of houses being proposed by the project and their
impact on the rural nature of the surrounding area. We do not believe that the planned
unit development designation is consistent with the existing land use in our neighborhood.
We are particularly concerned about the impact the project would have on the traffic on
Pentz Road, especially if an evacuation were to be needed. We have expressed these
concerns, among others, both in writing and verbally to both the Planning Commission and
the Board of Supervisors. The MND does not adequately address our concerns and are
hopeful that a full environmental impact assessment will address them.
We strongly urge you to determine that the MND cannot be adopted and reQuire that an
EAR be prepared.
Sincerely,
fed anrC.Ginda Reece"
