TMF&R has no ambulance capability in the Pleasant Valley area from their two closest stations, #32 East Washoe and #33 Foothill. REMSA is so understaffed and equipped that they can no longer serve this area within the recommended 8-minute response time, adding more demands on Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue (TMF&R) to pick up the slack.The leadership of the Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue (TMF&R) has, on more than one occasion, testified that they lack sufficient resources to serve existing demands for service within their District.Are there any commitments by Washoe County, the Washoe County School District (WCSD), the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC), the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District (TMFPD) or REMSA to match their ability to provide more services to the massive increase in demand this project will impose? I see none in the staff report.The proposed extension further discriminates against, and makes a mockery of, other developers who ‘play by the rules’ and meet the generous four-year period for filing a final map after approval of their tentative map. The proposal to extend the filing deadline for this development is an abuse of process by the developer, aided and abetted by the County Planning Department.
REFLECTIONS AT HIDDEN CREEK FULL
Rose and, as a matter of full disclosure, a Republican candidate for Nevada Assembly District 26 in the 2022 primary election. “As I am unable to attend this meeting and testify in person, I am requesting this ‘public comment’ be entered into the formal record for this meeting with copies distributed to each Commissioner.įor the record, I am Tom Daly from the Estates at Mt. Tom sent this to the county commissioners in advance of the meeting and presented it during public comment. Tom Daly (a previous Washoe County Planning Commissioner and candidate for NV Assembly-26) wrote a compelling piece about the problems with this extension and the problem of zombie projects in general. These projects may or may not “come back to life” many years later. Zombie projects are those that are extended past their deadlines. It is a “poster child” for the problems of zombie projects. It has been repeatedly extended contrary to the intent of the development requirements. The tentative map for this project was approved in 2006 and expired in 2010. Visit our page on Geocaching.The Washoe County Board of County Commissioners denied an extension for the developer to file a final map for the Sierra Reflections project until June 14, 2024. It is our hope that their writings and artwork illustrate the history of these eight locations, no matter what style they use.Īll of the LTERP sites are within Penn State’s 7,000-acre Stone Valley Forest (originally named the Penn State Experimental Forest) - many in close proximity to Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center. Please visit each page to view a history of the writings, artwork, music, and other reflections created there. Each site has a Geocache hidden at or near it. Some are scientists, poets, or outdoor enthusiasts, and still others study English, sociology, etc. The contributing authors and artists use their own styles and their complete reflections can be found on the Creek Journals website. Over the 100-year life of the project, Shaver’s Creek will work to weave these reflections together to tell the story of this place.Įach LTERP site has its own space on this website where we will begin to collect reflections - whether they are words, paintings, photographs, songs, or videos. These eight specific locations have been picked for their variety of habitat and diversity of experience for the observer, and to inspire writing, music, artwork, and other creative forms of reflection. We invite you to explore the journals inspired by the eight reflection sites below, and then visit the sites yourself to find your own inspiration! Ecological Reflection Sites
The project is, according to conceiver Ian Marshall, a “study in place.” It seeks to record what happens at eight locations in and around Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center over the course of a full century - through the lens of authors and artists from a variety of disciplines. Through the Creek Journals, we intend to record a piece of the next century’s history in some fashion so that future generations can better learn the story of this place. The archaeologists had to speculate about what happened at these locations and what the artifacts meant. At that time, Penn State’s Archaeological Field School was conducting a dig on the former Daniel Massey property near Shaver’s Creek, where they unearthed artifacts from the late 1800s - about 150 years before this project began. The Creek Journals, also known as the Long-term Ecological Reflections Project (LTERP), began in 2006 as Shaver’s Creek celebrated 25 years as Penn State’s nature center.
