Dear Mr. Galbraith,<br />
My name is Linda Barr and I live at 2160 Wedgewood Way in <strong>Fountaingrove</strong>.<br />
My neighbor and I attended the meeting last night where the EIR for the Aegis project<br />
was discussed. I am vehemently opposed to approval <strong>of</strong> this project. I feel that the<br />
density <strong>of</strong> the project is way to great for the size <strong>of</strong> the parcel. In fact, I feel that only<br />
low density single family dwellings should be built there. I agree with the woman who<br />
was concerned about the light that will be generated at night by apartments, villas,<br />
rooms, restaurants and the parking lot, to say nothing <strong>of</strong> the noise generated by all<br />
their generators, air conditioners, and delivery trucks. <strong>Fountaingrove</strong> is basically a<br />
residential neighborhood. As our homes are expensive, we pay high property taxes and<br />
should be able to expect to have privacy and protection from noise and light pollution.<br />
The intended project will create both kinds <strong>of</strong> pollution. I am appalled too that the<br />
planning commission would allow the destruction <strong>of</strong> so many old and beautiful trees.<br />
Far fewer trees would have to be removed if the parcel was developed as low density<br />
single family dwellings. I also resent all the extra traffic that this project will generate,<br />
and I resent the installation <strong>of</strong> yet another stop signal on <strong>Fountaingrove</strong> Parkway. I<br />
have been a resident <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fountaingrove</strong> for two years and I have seen a tremendous<br />
change in the amount <strong>of</strong> traffic, and in the amount <strong>of</strong> time that it takes me to get from<br />
the 101 Highway up to my house on Wedgewood Way due to the extra stop signals.<br />
The one at Varenna is particularly irksome. I also agree with the gentleman who<br />
pointed out how traffic has been reduced to a single lane for a long time as a result <strong>of</strong><br />
on going construction at Varenna. I believe that the same kind <strong>of</strong> disturbance will be<br />
cast upon us during construction <strong>of</strong> the Aegis project on Thomas Lake Harris. I beg the<br />
city council and the city planning commission to deny this project.<br />
Incidentally, the gentleman from Florida who plans to move to Aegis, and the woman<br />
