Concerns you may want to bring up are:

  • Curb appeal;

  • Shingle Springs already has more than enough car dealerships;

  • The Shingle Springs Community Alliance is working with the community to define our community with the vision of keeping Shingle Springs rural and we do not see the benefit that this project will have towards that effort;

  • This type of business does not fit in with the long range plan to create an economic tourist area surrounding the Shingle Springs train depot
