Good afternoon. I am submitting the following comments that I would like to have addressed.
1. Has Statesman submitted evidence that they have the financial ability to complete all the parts of
the Master Planned Resort, which include a 200-room hotel and conference center, hockey rink and
swimming pools? I've known some projects that were started with the idea of selling parcels off to
finance the rest project and failed to complete the project for various reasons, leaving quite a lot of
issues for local government and residents to deal with.
2. Partial completement could lead to nuisances and potential for fires, crime, etc. With a fluctuating
population (some of the housing being part time, plus large events, and then a big drop in population),
how will Stateman provide continued funding for emergencies and security including empty homes
and buildings?
3. Putting small lots on narrow streets is not appropriate development for this rural area (10 feet
between buildings). What will they include for potential fire and other emergency issues?43. What are
the plans for the required intersection improvements at Highway 101 and Black Point Road?
4. What is the water budget? Does Statesman have sufficient water to meet minimum fire flows in the
event of forest and residential fires?
5. Did Statesman submit a plan to provide support to the County when evacuation is necessary? How
will all the people who will be living there and attending events escape? Are they supporting the
County in emergency responses? Is the current one officer expected to deal with all the problems that
accompany the boom-and-bust population, including potential problems that come with empty
homes?
Thank you.
