Re: Coral Mountain Resort Amendement V
Dear Ms. Criste,
My name is Russ McKee, one of the newest homeowners at Andalusia Country Club.
My wife, Betsy and I fell in love with the ambience of Andalusia, and most especially the peaceful
quiet, and beauEful canopy of stars that we enjoy each evening. The views of the Coral Mountains
juxtaposed in front of the Santa Rosa Mountains, coupled with the serene beauty and quiet of the
desert sky is unequaled.
When we first learned of the wave park development, our 35-year-old surfer son was ecstaEc and
threatened to move in with us! Although the concept seemed novel, when I reviewed the
development plan the scope of the project overwhelmed me. I do not support this development on
several levels, but most significantly I am concerned about the light polluEon from the 80' towers that
could spoil the night sky in this area forever. This would be tragic.
The City has prudently required an Environmental Impact Report be prepared in compliance with
CEQA guidelines. I request that the public comment period for this development be extended
30 days from receipt and distribuEon of the EIR so everyone can assess the impact this project will
have on all our friends and neighbors at Andalusia and surrounding communiEes.
Thank you for your consideraEon.
Best Regards,
Russ & Betsy McKee
