Send a letter of concern regarding the proposed Homewood Mountain Resort

THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.

The proposed Homewood Mountain Resort Ski Area Master Plan CEP project is scheduled for a final vote by the Placer County Board of Supervisors on December 6th and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) Governing Board on December 14th. If you cannot attend this meeting, please take a minute and fill out the letter of concern below. It is highly important to get your concerns on the TRPA record.

This is our last chance to unite the West Shore community voices before a final decision is made on the proposed Homewood project. Friends of the West Shore supports a revitalized Homewood Mountain Resort BUT the current proposal is simply TOO BIG. We are concerned about the size and scale of the current project and feel that it is not compatible with the long-standing character of Homewood and the West Shore. Make your concerns heard by TRPA and Placer County.

Dear Placer County and TRPA,

I support the redevelopment of Homewood Mountain Resort (HMR) but the project as proposed is too large. Many West Shore residents have strongly indicated their preference to preserve the character of Homewood. We are concerned about the size and scale of the project and suggest a downsized resort to reduce traffic and other environmental impacts. I believe that HMR’s proposal goes well beyond limited new development in Homewood and because of its ambitious size, does not capitalize on “improving environmental quality and community character” that it could achieve with a smaller project-scale. Additionally, I feel that a process that was directed by the community would have resulted in an acceptable development plan for the ski area at the beginning of the process. A 33% reduction in the size and scale of the proposed project would result in a true win-win solution that complements the Homewood community rather than overwhelming it. I would like to see a project that accomplishes the following objectives:

1. Satisfy the West Shore community’s desire to downsize the resort and reduce traffic and other environmental impacts, by reducing population density.
2. Achieve and maintain the Environmental Thresholds determined by the TRPA Compact. This is our guide in preserving and enhancing the rural quality of life while protecting our Natural Resources.
3. Enhance the project to be compatible with the long-standing character of the West Shore by reducing the mass of the development and maintaining a family oriented atmosphere.

I hope you take my comments and concerns into consideration.

Sincerely,
