8.A. - Page 103 <br /> PLG-Sailesh Mehra <br /> From: Nancy Krosse [nrkrosse@comcast.net� <br /> Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 2:33 PM <br /> To: PLG-Sailesh Mehra; PLG-Jill Ekas; GRP-City Council <br /> Cc: Be�erly Purrington <br /> Subject: Laurel Way EIR <br /> Honorable Mayor and Gity Council Members, <br /> I am writing to address my concerns about the EIR that was approved by your council in August of <br /> 2010. My husband and I are residents of Highland Ave., Redwood City for the past 32 years. We have <br /> attended all of the meefings regarding the projected development at the end of Laurel Way. <br /> To add to our list of concerns, aiong with those of our neighbors, we would like for you to consider <br /> the heightened level of trafFic that will be affect Highland Avenue. It is the only point of access to <br /> Laurel Way. Our stree�t is designated, by the city, as a substandard street. It has not been re-paved in <br /> aver a decade. There are enormous pot holes thaf just ke�p getting patched but always open up again <br /> hy the time the rainy season starts. <br /> We live on the opposite side of the canyon where the development is slated to be built. According fo <br /> the geologic report there is a large area of serpe�tine rock where there is a naturally existing level of <br /> asbestos. When the excavation 6egins for this project all of the neighbors will be exposed ta <br /> dangerous amounts of asbestos. For those of us with children who have asthma this is very <br /> worrisome. <br /> Along with a!I the other items mentioned in the EIR that summarize that everything found in the Laurel <br /> Way area that may have a potential downside can all be "mitigated to a level of acceptance" my <br /> husband and I believe that the mitigation factors are unrealistic and do not address the actual dangers <br /> and hazards of the residents of the wonderful neighborhood. <br /> Please reconsider the appro�al of the EIR and let our appeal address the realistic threats to all af us in <br /> this community. <br /> Sincerefy, <br /> Nancy Krosse <br /> i <br />
