I am in the escrow process of buying a home in Andalusia and, because of the amended development plan from Coral
Mountain, will most likely back out, forfei0ng tens of thousands of dollars. This loss in property value represents a
real and nega0ve economic impact. I don't know anyone who desires a home in a low density desert environment
who wants to live next to 80 foot light poles, loudspeakers announcing waves every six minutes, and a background
hum of 75 decibels at all hours of the day. The plan now proposed bears almost no resemblance to the rosy PR
drawings and low impact community plans presented early last year.
You should start calling this project the NASCAR-style La Quinta Wave Resort, so people accurately understand the
ongoing noise, lights, crowds, and other disrup0ons.
I'm not op0mis0c about changing anyone's minds. I just think everyone needs to be honest that the character of La
Quinta is being profoundly changed, and the beneficiaries are real estate developers, and not anyone who
currently lives in the community. The actual lived experience on the Southwestern edges of La Quinta is being
profoundly changed.
Sincerely,
Monica Harrington
