Subject: Uptown Newport EIR
Dear Rosalinh:
I don't know if you recall assisting me when I was trying to understand what
PRES was planning on the property next to ours.
I'm currently out of the country and just learned comments on the Uptown
Newport EIR are due today. Based upon my initial review I recall the EIR was
deficient in addressing adverse impacts that could not be mitigated, in
failing to provide the assumptions supporting their conclusion that a lower
density project was not feasible, their traffic conclusions were factually
untenable, they failed to fully address the magnitude of the construction
noise impacts and completely ignored permanent noise and air quality impacts
and the impacts on fire, police and schools were primarily ignored.
In short, the Draft EIR was inadequate, incomplete and unsatisfactory.
I'll be happy to provide you a letter to this effect upon my return should you
request one.
Thank you in advance for our company's comments.
Sincerely,
Meyer Properties
James B. Hasty
Senior Vice President
