> Dear Commissioner Georgia McDaniel,
>        I seriously can't believe that this horrendous mistake of a concept is trying to make a comeback. In its proposed form it is outrageous, once again , on so many levels.
>      Please let me elaborate below :
>      1) the project was told to not exceed its prior footprint, and has arrogantly instead EXPANDED IT  to 5000 sq ft !
>      2) it's still too big , and has inadequate parking, so has instead created stacked valet parking to accommodate the huge amount of vehicles they will need to park. In an emergency evacuation this greatly slows evacuation and would cause chaos and probable loss of life . This callous disregard to the safety and lives of the employees and guests who would need to evacuate takes your breath away
>      3) there are 21 narrow one lane roads that empty onto HWY 116 at exactly the same part of HWY 116 . That actually would mean, in an evacuation , that hundreds of houses of people with many hundreds of people would be trying to access HWY 116  to escape in an evacuation directly across from this grossly oversized building project . The loss of life would be extreme as the logjam there would prevent timely access to the SOLE evacuation road out of the river in either direction.
>        4) our local sewer plant is already extremely strained from existing housing and simply can't accommodate a project of this  size, which would endanger the water quality on our threatened and beloved Russian River.
>        5) a project of this extensive size and creating so many local threats on so many levels  , being proposed on a threatened river, in a high fire risk area absolutely  demands an EIR, as it obviously adversely impacts the area severely in several serious ways. However, we have heard of no EIR at all. This seems to be a serious oversight.
          6) the fire risk for our area is extreme. The loss of life with this major artery blocked and jammed with such a volume of vehicles exiting in a sudden evacuation could be CATASTROPHIC. It seems to me this is a serious liability to such a dense project located at this location on HWY116.
        (I am also sending a copy of  this letter to our local MAC. Representative , Cynthia Stryker ) I hope she will alert our Supervisor Hopkins to my concerns .)
      Sincerely, with great concern ,
            Christmas Leubrie RN ( retired ) , local resident and homeowner for 33 years, local CERT member

I thought the deadline for comments was last Friday at 5pm, not today, Sunday? Georgia can you confirm this?  Hopefully this project will move forward. We don't base approving projects on if there may be a fire someday, a flood someday, or if the sewer district has to upgrade. This is a hotel in the Russian River Resort area where a resort already was, in an area that has had taller hotels. The hysteria generated by a few over this project is over the top.

I have asked several times to be removed from this list. I have not been a member of the community garden for seven years and sold my property in Monte Rio over a year ago. I have no interest in hearing about local political debates or any other issues that are not my concern.   Thanks, Matt Nash

Matt, Hopefully someone in charge of the list can remove you. Sorry they haven’t yet. It’s also unfortunate that they use this list for politics instead of just for garden communications.  
Happy Holidays.
