Dear "Steward of Larkspur and Marin's future ":
The Larkspur Station Area Plan EIR must consider the
cumulative impacts of increase traffic pollution and congestion throughout
Marin and most especially along the 101 corridor who will be severely impacted.
As you know, Sonoma is planning for an additional 24,000
housing units in Plan Bay Area. Marin is planning for at least 4400 units
in it's latest RHNA allocations not including private development which could
mean many more thousand housing units.
In short, Marin is targeted for urbanization with a suburban
infrastructure. If Larkspur is allowed to develop it's behemoth
development, the 101 freeway must be expanded, infrastructure such as schools,
water and sewer will need to be expanded and St Francis/101 freeway interchange
must be redesigned.
No plans should go forward until a complete plan for
infrastructure is considered and built. To approve the Larkspur Station
Area plan without proper planning, is not only irresponsible, it borders on the
criminally negligent. Future generations will have to pay for our
folly. Do not become the government official to destroy the legacy of
Marin.
I wholly endorse many more points made in the letters
written by Edward Yates, attorney for Community Venture Partners and Bob
Silvestri which you have received.
I respectful request that Larkspur "go back to the
drawing board" and design a new plan with the principles of
sustainability, community values and limitation of infrastructure
capacity are considered.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen Nestel
