<br />.""j <br /> <br />", <br /> <br />'! <br /> <br />good ~ildlife cover in a key corridor linking the Oasis Pond and Lake Johanna <br />ecosystems. Foxes; raccoons, woodchucks, pheasants and a wide variety of <br />other birds are regularly present. Preservation of the thicket and its fauna has <br />the potential to provide as much enjoyment to the new residents on the east <br />side as it has provided for those of us on the west. . <br /> <br />III. Motel Placement <br /> <br />At the previous hearing, I noted that the motel would quite likely be the <br />largest source of noise and light pollution in the development. (late night <br />traffic, large lighted signs, etc) and that as such it might best be placed <br />on the northeast corner of the site, as far as possible from the residential <br />housing. The developer has stated that area is being held in reserve for a new <br />television building to be constructed in the future. The rationale for reserving <br />that part of the site is proximity of the facilities of the college, north of Lydia, <br />and the, perceived cost of cable runs. Based on my experience with several <br />similar projects, 'I would suggest that the bulk of the cabling costs would be <br />accrued in crossing Lydia and that the incremental cost of fiber and surface <br />trenches would not be extreme. Certainly I an office type structure would be <br />more suitable for the southeast end of the site, since it would presumably <br />generate little late night noise or light pollution. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br /> <br />Yours truly, <br /> <br />A uJ~ ~ <br /> <br /> <br />Henry A.
