Study Sessions are not no;ced, and no ac;on was taken as it was only a presenta;on and informa;on gathering. I believe the tape should be available on the City's website. We have you listed for no;ces, and you will receive no;ces when they are sent out.

Please use proper judgement and cau;on when opening a=achments, clicking links or responding to requests for informa;on. ** Thank you for the opportunity to provide commentary on the EIR for the Coral Mountain Wave Project. As 15 year homeowners at Andalusia CC, we have enjoyed the serenity of this part of La Quinta, and believe the proposed waterpark development is not in sync with other developments in the area. We support the following alterna;ve considered for evalua;on, in order of preference: Alterna;ve #2 – No Project/Exis;ng En;tlements Alterna;ve 4 – The Golf/Resort Hotel Alterna;ve Alterna;ve 5 – The lake amenity/No Hotel Alterna;ve 3 – Reduced Density Alterna;ve If the project con;nues, we would like to voice the following issues/concerns: Visibility/Ligh@ng: We are very concerned about the lights that will be visible from the top viewing levels of the hotel. A 4-story structure is significantly above the predominantly single level only housing in the area, and the top of the building and its lights would be visible from adjacent neighborhoods. We are even more concerned about the 80’ proposed lights over the wave park. These towers would not only be visible from a distance, even unlight, but would also impact views of the mountain and the night sky. Noise This neighborhood is very quiet. We can hear the cars from the Thermal Club, which is much further away than the proposed project. Our concerns are: -Traffic noise on Madison -Noise from the filtering and hea;ng system for the wave park (which we couldn’t find addressed in the EIR). The waterpark will need to be heated much of the year, and filtering will be constant -Noise from the announcers Firefox https://outlook.office.com/mail/AAMkAGJiMWY1OTY1LTBhY2EtN... 3 of 5 4/2/22, 11:23 AM - Noise from spectators -Noise from special events Traffic We believe there should be 2 main entrances into the development – one as proposed, which would serve only residents, and a second, which would be off Madison in the south end of Sec. II, which would serve the hotel, wave park, tourists. We are very concerned about the increased traffic levels, par;cularly during special events. We also do not want traffic light(s), now or in the future, on Madison at 58th, 60th, or inbetween Hours of Opera@on The hours of opera;on should be reduced. We would propose an opening no earlier than 8 am, with a closure from October through February no later than 7 pm, and from March through September of 8 pm. With lights doused at the wavepark and on the viewing area of the hotel at these hours, there would be much less impact of lights on nearby communi;es. Special Events We would prefer no special events, but if they are to be allowed, we would propose that they never be held during any concert, art, or other main event at the polo grounds, and not during athle;c events like the bike tour, triathalons, etc. Opera@ons during Wind Events Cancel opera;ons if winds are > 20 mph or gusts > 25 mph. We have high gust rates in this area even when winds are in the 20's due to the currents coming down the mountains Border Wall and Landscaping A wall higher than normal would help reduce noise. Plan;ng of large trees such as palms, ;puana’s, etc. on the exterior and interior would reduce visibility of the hotel, lights, etc. Thank you. We look forward to receiving updates on the review and approval process. Please add us to your mailing list.
