The Town is supportive of the District's aquor,s to acquire the Glenshire Water System and to annex the Glenshire Area into the District. Nonetheless, we have the following comments on the proposed Negative Declaration that we hope w ill assist your Board of Directors: i 1. BecIustio the District annexation process can be lengthy and time-consuming, we believe it would be advantageous for the District to expand the proposed annexation boundaries of your proposal and w annex the area known as Tahoe Boca Estates (western half of Section 3) as piin of the Glenshire Water System annexation. This Tahoe Boca Estates area is located within the Town and is zoned for a residential density that will require community watgr s[srvice from the District. In addition, based on our discussions with the property owners and developers, it appears that this area could be subdivided within the next se7a] years. 2. Understanding that further environmental review will be necessary for the pipeline to the GI e chi re system, we believe it is important to understand and to include in the Negative Declaradon that the potential pipeline route along Old Airport Road is the least desirable rou e from an environmental impact and land use perspective. It is not clearly stated in the Negative Declaration regarding the preference of the routes, and the Town requests that the District state that the Glenshire Well route is the preferred route while the Old Airport Ro route is the least preferred. 10183 Truckee Airport Road,Truckee,CA 96161w3306 Administration: 530-582-77001 Fax:530-582-7710/e-mail: mtckee@tnwnofmtckee.com Commutaty Devclopmcnr: 530-582-78201 Fax: 530-582-7889/e-maiP:cdd@zownofmickee.eom Animal ContrpW.hicle Abatement: 530-582-7830/Fax: 530-582.7889 l e-mail:animalcontrot@townoftruckee.com I OrH7-01 11:1$am From-TOWN+OF+TRUCNEE 5305827710 T-294 P.02/02 F-821 Letter to P.Holzanuistoc, 10/17/01 Page 2 3. The prr;posed Negative Declaration does not provide information on the location of the water storage tanks that will be replaced or the size and configuration of the replacement tanks. These replacement tanks may have significant land use and visual/aestheric impacts thatl1 co:mot be properly understood with the information provided in the Negative Declaration. The Town requests that the District state in the Negative Declaration that site specific: environmental review of the replacement tanks will be done prior to construction of the water storage tanks. i Once again(, the.Town appreciates this opportunity to comment on this project that will benefit the residents amd property owners of Truckee.
