Hello" ConsulGng Planner”-
My name is Reed Harman. I have had a home in La Quinta for 23 years and for the past 15
years have lived at 79-121 Tom Fazio lane South at The Quarry. I am not in favor of the proposed wave park.
The project proposed by Meriweather is not a residenGal development, but rather it is an AMUSEMENT PARK
with the a\endant noise and traffic and a nonconforming us in its locaGon. While I am graGfied that an
updated EIS is now required, I worry that the La Quinta City Council is mesmerized by
the prospect of addiGonal bed tax revenue and is willing to sacrifice our neighborhood in the hope
for those receipts. The greater those those receipts, the worse this project will be for those living nearby.
I have li\le doubt that the project will be constructed in a first class fashion and have equally li\le doubt that
it will be successful. I feel strongly that La Quinta should make every effort to relocate the project to
property between 52nd and 54th st west of Jefferson where it would be proximate to the Silver Rock
golf course and the long planned hotel/commercial development nearby. In addiGon, ”old” La Quinta is
a largely failed retail area that is in desperate need of addiGonal retail traffic and that
area would greatly benefit as well. This should be no secret to responsible city planners.
I worry that communicaGons like this one and like “ whistling in the wind”, but whistle I must.
Thank you for your consideraGon, Reed Harman
