City of LaQuinta Planner;
My name is Brian Weitman and I am currently a landowner building a house at Andalusia Country Club in La
Quinta. One of the main reasons why I chose to buy a home at Andalusia in the city of LaQuinta was due to
the announcement of the plans to build the Coral Mountain Wave Basin. My parents also have a home in
LaQuinta at the Quarry and I have been visiting LaQuinta actively for the past 20 years. I think the addition of
this new development will greatly enhance the community and help add to the diversity of the desert with
activities for the whole family. I have 2 children and both of them have expressed interests in having a second
home in the desert "if they develop Coral Mountain Wave Basin". I understand that there are people in the
community who are objecting to these new plans and I think this is a classic case of NIMBY without these
people being familiar or educated on what the plans are for Coral Mountain. I have visited the prototype wave
in Lemore California and was impressed by the engineering, design, as well as how quiet the wave was. Most
importantly, I was blown away how cool and fun the experience was to not only see this wave but also get the
opportunity to surf on this wave. It is without a doubt one of the coolest experiences I have ever had and is so
much fun that its impossible to describe in words. As a recent homeowner in Andalusia I have received some
emails from "concerned" community members and I was shocked and blindsided that the voice of a few
people can make this much noise in their objections of this project. Simply put, I just don't think they

understand the project and furthermore the value it will bring to our community. The announcement of this
project was the catalyst for me to buy land and build a home in LaQuinta plus I also just joined the Quarry in
LaQuinta. What further proof do you need that this development will attract new people to invest and
become a part of our community. Please share my letter with the other stakeholders in the city so my voice is
heard. I am a strong supporter of this project and I look forward to the day they can break ground!
Respectfully,
Brian Weitman
