Hey Steve,
Due to a previous committment I won't be able to make tonights meeting. I live at 1609 Serramonte Dr.
and was hoping you would pass on these written thoughts in leiu of my absence.
I have grave concern regarding the level of development and the existing transportation network. Train
crossings at Vine and Lemay and Vine and Timberline are causing backups are 3/4 to 1 mile in length (I
saw this last Friday). For me I question if "adequate public facilities" are in place to support this
development and others in the area. While I believe some of these questions are adressed in the Mtn
Vista subarea plan, I think we're at a point where "the cart is before the horse" relative to transportation.
Country Club Dr. is also a botleneck to traffic and needs to be considered.
In addition to this issue it is my desire that the developer complete a design that clusters the new
construction to maintain the open character of the area and provides a buffer to the Serramonte
subdivision. Finally, I appreciate the night sky from my residence, I would like the city and the developer
to agree on none to minimal street lighting.
Thanks, keep me posted on this.
Rick
