in the County Club Village section of Palm Desert and was concerned with the proposed
changes to his neighborhood as part of Project Area #3, especially plans to allow access
to the industrial area from the residential area. He expressed concern with impacts on
traffic, safety, property values, and noise, and asked that the Agency Board take these
concerns seriously.
MS. VICTORIA ESSER, 74-896 Merle Drive, added that there was a lot of truck noise
from the industrial area as early as 5:00 a.m., and allowing access from the residential
area would just make it worse.

set up a meeting to discuss these concerns.
