These are graded pzapertm with <br />complea drainage symms, unusual geology, and a shWe route of aceems through an a bablidW <br />neighborhood with feeder roads ahcady inadequate for the traffic they mM t be forced to bear. <br />Irrespec.-tivv of the UMFWCdCrACd complexity of this project, the Redwood City Planning Commission <br />approved the Enmronmentsl hmpac.t Report for the Laurel Way development; and most remarkably, did <br />so nearly unanimously and without sabstaative objection. That a major spea kdva developmwat could <br />be imposed an an old, established neigUkai sod, with complex geology, and basal on Vote laid out <br />nearly a nay nip, and without smous objectdom fiam the planni w commmu nn seems to me to be <br />mot cred"e. <br />The idea of so many djwmm acted hm&wu= grog togetlrer to p ah tbrough a mxjo r project like <br />this is also unnp ted. If this vcc n a single eloper who hoped to build a oohwent prged and to <br />do so within some reasonable time-fiamc, it Haight be tolerable to ftm of us who will have to live <br />immediately adjacimt to the chu% trafc, and emvuoumental degradation, but m tint, them w no <br />oohemmt schedule: to develop the lots, which mesas this landowners could taus a decade to build on. <br />schedules am they please, inalikoally insulting in ten yam or more of oongtruWcm traffic burdening an <br />already sub-st mdar,d set of access roads. <br />I hope that the City Council will take this issm more semiously than did the Planning Commission. If <br />V= is real concern for the integrity of our ncigbbod=& and the preservation of our mviromrncat, <br />then this is the sort of activity that slnauld warrant the closest scrutiny. <br />Most since rdy, <br />Russell L. Kerschmann, MD. <br />3737 LawW Way <br />Redwood City, CA 94062 <br />
