When our residents and neighbors make their comments, what are the main issues that need to be addressed in those comments? Will we have some sample comments or talking points?
Kathy, thank you for your questions. We are working with our team and attorneys to develop a list of primary issues and concerns. We will be sharing these with the community as soon as we have them. Keep an eye out for an email from us.
Fantastic impact reports filed on the Orange County website. These do a great job of addressing all the usual concerns: trees, watershed, endangered wildlife, traffic, noise, etc. There’s even a detailed analysis with respect to the cultural impact of removing the former tennis center. It’s good to study all of these items and allow people for and against to comment. Suggestions are good, too as plans can be tweaked a bit very often by developers.
