As a neighbor, I was kept in the loop by the individual land <br />owners of the Laurel Way Group and recently learned that Redwood City's Council will be <br />taking a decision on the project. <br />P1TU2M1r#111W? "MI <br />On behalf of Laurel Way Joint Venture ("LWJV"), I'd like to note the following: <br />(1) The project followed CEQA in detail and adequately analyzed the environmental impacts <br />to Laurel Way and to the immediate neighborhood. <br />(2) The CEQA analysis concluded that there are 114. significant impacts (after mitigation). <br />(3) The opponents have been raising the same questions for 3 years and those questions have <br />been answered repeatedly for 3 years by Redwood City's environmental experts. Nothing <br />new was brought about. <br />(4) The Planning Department decided in 2011 to make changes to the Geotechnical <br />mitigation measures and those were successfully accomplished by Redwood City's <br />environmental experts. <br />(5) If Laurel Way were in any other neighboring city in the peninsula, it would have already <br />been developed and the individual land owners would have had a home to live in. <br />As a neighbor, we are in favor of having our neighborhood improve by this planned I <br />development. Hence I ain_in_favor -of aunroving_the _EIR_as was bubmitted and <br />allowing the individual land owners to develop their private land sinLAMEel MY, <br />Signature: C 1 G. d -C-4 "� <br />(print name) <br />
