My wife Sherry and I purchased in 2013 and spent most weekends here while I was still working and living in LA. I retired in 2017 and have been living here full time since then. The attraction of Andalusia has always been its "off the beaten track" location, the quiet surroundings and peaceful ambience, not to mention the friendly people who live here. Our objective for leaving LA was to get away from the traffic, noise, crime and homelessness. Quite frankly, we had enough. Andalusia was exactly what we were looking for as it met all of those objectives. We were told that the lot adjacent would eventually be an extension of Andalusia. While I understand that there are never any guarantees, we would never have moved here knowing that a Wave Park was a consideration. We are not fans of this development. Initially, we were told that it would be a high end exclusive community. Recently we learned that the hotel will be four floors instead of two, the addition of a Skate Board Park, Rock Climbing, several Surfing competitions throughout the year and 80' foot light towers. In addition, we are concerned about traffic and noise.. The City has prudently required an Environmental Impact Report be prepared in compliance with CEQA guidelines. I respectfully request that the public comment period for this development be extended to at least 30 days from receipt and distribution of the EIR so everyone can assess the impact this project will have on all our dear friends and neighbors at Andalusia and surrounding communities. Thank you for your consideration. Kind Regards, Page 2 of 2 Marshall & Sherry Forster 81679 Andalusia La Quinta, CA 92253 msforster@yahoo.com cell 818-371-5551
