Dear Shingle Springs residents and rural lifestyle supporters, Please
see the Green Valley Alliance email below and take action to request
that the Supervisors deny the Dixon Ranch development project. The
Dixon Ranch project parallels the San Stino's Mill Creek project in many
ways (same developer, pre-existing low-density land use designation,
community region boundary, formerly agricultural land, and more). We
must take action so that the Dixon Ranch project does not set a
precedent for other high-density projects in low-density neighborhoods,
such as San Stino's Mill Creek. Thank you for your perseverance to keep
El Dorado County rural. ~ Lori Parlin, Shingle Springs Community Alliance Measure
E was voted into place by the voters of El Dorado County despite the
false and misleading opposition to it by special interest groups
sponsored by developers. The measure was passed to prevent developments
such as Dixon Ranch from being wrongfully approved when the
circumstances merit denial. Why is it important to defend against Dixon
Ranch? It is in many ways similar to San Stino's Mill Creek with regard
to density, impact to traffic, light pollution, and the quality of life
to its nearby residents. It's important to note that approval requires
a General Plan amendment and rezone, much like Mill Creek would. Our
county Supervisors need to uphold the will of the people and apply
Measure E when considering this development. Dixon Ranch should be a NO
vote as dictated by Measure E. If Dixon Ranch is approved, it may very
well set the stage for what's to come in Shingle Springs. ~ Frank Verdin, No San Stino |
