Re: Coral Mountain Resort Amendment V
Dear Ms. Criste,
My name is Marshall Forster and I am a home owner at Andalusia Country Club and have
been for 7 years.
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,
